Materials Health
Materials Health refers to evaluating how sustainable, safe, and environmentally responsible the materials used in a product are throughout their lifecycle. It considers factors like the presence of harmful chemicals, recyclability, and overall environmental impact from sourcing to disposal. A high Materials Health score indicates that the materials used are non-toxic, ethically sourced, and contribute positively to environmental and human health. This assessment helps manufacturers and consumers make informed choices that support sustainability, reduce pollution, and promote safer products.
