SCORING
Every product is scored across four dimensions:
- Materials: What is it made of? Recycled, organic, and natural materials score highest.
- Durability: How long will it last? Repairable, reusable products with strong warranties score highest.
- End of Life: What happens when you're done? Recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable products score highest.
- Packaging: How is it shipped? Minimal, recyclable packaging scores highest.

Scores use transparent, open-source rules — no black boxes.
