What are eco-costs?

Eco-costs assign a monetary value to a product's environmental impact per carton, covering biodiversity loss, human health effects, material scarcity, and carbon emissions. It's a simple metric for customers to compare environmental impacts, without being an added fee.

Eco-costs place a monetary value on the environmental costs of a product (calculated per carton of product). It’s the ‘price’ nature and society pay to produce a product, calculated across four categories: biodiversity loss, effects on human health, material scarcity and carbon emissions. 

This gives customers a straightforward metric to understand and compare the environmental impacts of our products. 

Note: it’s a concept and a guide, not a hidden or added fee to the product's market price.
