At bb trading, our «bb.Eco Rating» gives you a clear indication of each product’s sustainability. This rating evaluates items from «A» to «E» based on six key criteria: CO₂ emissions, transport, materials, packaging, product lifespan, recyclability, and social responsibility.
We rely on sources like the Ecoinvent life cycle database, which provides scientifically grounded data on material-related environmental impacts. We also factor in transport method, type of packaging, product durability, recycling potential, and fair labor standards during production.
The rating scale:
- «A»: Top-tier sustainability
- «B»: Good, but with room for improvement
- «C»: On the right track
- «D»: Could be better
- «E»: Not quite there yet
This gives you full transparency on the ecological and social footprint of your product, helping you make environmentally conscious choices with confidence.
For experts, we also offer detailed insights into the weighting and calculation methodology behind the rating.
