Claims that don't hold

Checking one product properly means lifecycle studies, materials sheets, and freight data. Nobody is doing that for a $12 phone case.
Shoppers obsess over shipping, which is about 12% of a typical product's footprint. Materials are 62%. Good intentions, wrong target.
No quiz, no manual input, no browsing slowdown. The score is on the page before you scroll to the reviews.
Materials, weight, brand, origin, and shipping options, pulled straight from the product listing you're already looking at.
The listing is matched against 4.2 million lifecycle records built from EPA data, ecoinvent, and peer-reviewed LCA studies.
A to F on the page, plus up to three cleaner swaps within 5% of your price. Swap or ignore. Your call, now an informed one.

Businesses pay for audits and API access. That funds the extension, so you never will.
I assumed my sneakers were the problem. GreenPath showed me it was express shipping and fast-fashion basics. Cut 780 kg in six months without buying anything I didn't already want.
Ruth K · PortlandWe passed the audit, put the badge on our product pages, and conversion rose 12%. Skeptical customers finally had a reason to believe the word "recycled" on our boxes.
Marcus C · Founder, BirchwareThe lifecycle numbers line up with the datasets we use in actual research. For a free consumer extension, that is genuinely rare. I checked, twice.
