Eco-Score: Vinz makes eco logical
The Eco-Score is a rating system that shows how sustainable a product is. Label A is top-notch; E not so much.
Is this product an eco-friendly choice?
The Eco-Score is calculated with the help of a carefully devised, scientific system. Firstly, there is the life cycle assessment, which maps a product’s environmental impact from farm to fork. Secondly, there is the bonus-malus system, where points are awarded or deducted depending on the manufacturer’s environmental efforts (or lack thereof). Let’s zoom in on the two systems ..
A life cycle assessment looks at a product's environmental impact during six phases, from its origin to its (correct!) disposal. Find out all about this assessment and how it affects the Eco-Score.
Bonus-malus examines five additional indicators, including production method and packaging. It allows investigators to place products, such as coffee, in certain categories. Read all about bonus-malus and how it affects the Eco-Score.
