Creating a more sustainable world, one little green footprint at a time.

  • We began with a simple idea: to help environmentally conscious shoppers easily access clear and concise information about the carbon footprint and environmental impact of a product's life cycle. We do this by completing a comprehensive assessment looking at the entire life cycle of a product and translating it in a way that is easy to understand for consumers.

  • It is drastically important to improve our environmental impact as a society. The way that we have lived until now has had adverse impacts on global warming, ozone depletion and human health and we think we can be an important part of this change.

    We know that choosing sustainable products with limited environmental consequences can be confusing and time-consuming. This is why we developed a scoring system that rates a product's footprint on a scale of 1 to 10. Our system takes into account every aspect of the life cycle stages, from the raw materials used to the disposal of the packaging after use.

  • Our scoring system simplifies complex calculations to provide clear sustainability ratings for products. Developed by our experts, it incorporates the principles of a life cycle assessment study.

    A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) evaluates the environmental impacts of a product, process, or service across its entire lifespan. It considers raw material extraction, manufacturing processes, distribution, use, and waste management.

    The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provides standards for LCA in ISO 14040 and 14044. The assessment is broken down into the following four phases:

    • goal and scope definition

    • life cycle inventory analysis (LCI)

    • life cycle impact assessment (LCIA)

    • interpretation

    By providing easy-to-understand carbon footprint ratings, we hope to encourage shoppers to choose products with lower environmental impacts, ultimately driving change across entire industries. We believe that every purchase counts, and that by collectively shifting our buying habits, we can create a sustainable future for generations to come.

    Join us on our journey to promote sustainability and reduce our global carbon footprint. Let's work together to create a better world, one little green footprint at a time.

Our Scoring System

Our unique scoring formula takes into account a wide range of factors from the life cycle analysis as well as a lot more. This includes resource use, greenhouse gas emissions, waste treatment, eco-efficiency, location, and supply chain complexity, to name a few. While the formula itself is complex, it provides a comprehensive and rigorous evaluation of a product's environmental impact. This is crucial for promoting sustainability, especially regarding our concerns about climate change, global warming and its effects on human health.

I was frustrated at the lack of clear and accessible carbon footprint information on products.
