A global observatory on individual sustainability
We turn individual contributions into collective knowledge.
PolarBear collects voluntary contributions on mobility, energy, food, digital services, consumption and circular economy. With research consent, selected data are sent to the backend with pseudonymous identifiers; outputs depend on the dataset and access rules.
Dataset domains
City-level geolocation, temporal indicators and technical metadata are managed with minimization and access control policies.
For territories
For municipalities, institutions and organizations

Circularity indicators
Metrics on reuse, second-hand, waste reduction and avoided CO2 for policy design.
API integration
Structured endpoints and datasets for universities, research centers and public entities.
