What do the eco scores mean?
The eco score system (A+ to G) lets consumers compare products by environmental impact, with scores based on eco-costs per kilogram of material. Lower scores mean lower environmental costs.
The eco score* system allows consumers to easily compare products. There are 9 eco scores – A+, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G – with A+ having the lowest eco-cost per kg of material, and G having the highest eco-cost per kg of material.
Eco-costs are based on producing a kilogram of packaging material. This allows for easy comparison. The eco scores are grouped into these categories:
- A+: anything below €0.05 eco costs per kg of material*
- A: €0.05 to €0.10 eco-costs per kg of material
- B: €0.10 to €0.20 eco-costs per kg of material
- C: €0.20 to €0.40 eco-costs per kg of material
- D: €0.40 to €0.80 eco-costs per kg of material
- E: €0.80 to €1.20 eco-costs per kg of material
- F: €1.20 to €2.00 eco-costs per kg of material
- G: anything above €2.00 eco-costs per kg of material
*The eco scoring system is developed by Sustainability Impact Metrics.
