Eco-Score®, or Environmental Labelling with Magic Fridge 🌏
We explain everything right here!
Eco-score®: what are they?
You can choose between the two following definitions: 😎
The simplest definition : indicators reflecting food’s environmental impact (is that clear enough?)
A longer, more complicated (yet more precise) definition : indicators sorting food products or ingredients for one recipe, using their environmental impact ranking from A (low impact) to E (high impact). This tool helps consumers make a decision while taking into account the origins, production modes, transport, packaging, seasonality, and so on.
What are those for? 🧐
- Because they look good!
- Because J-Lo asked us!
- Because eco-score® inform users of the impact of their choices, and give tips to a more responsible way of life 💪🌎

How are these eco-score® built ?
Eco-score® are based on lifecycle analysis, together with a bonus-penalty system to build a score out of 100 . This result is shown with letters from A to E. ®
What’s in this formula?
- Public data: quantitative data from lifecycle analysis. This “Agribalyse” Database was created by experts
- Data that were not taken into account in lifecycles analysis, but give more information on positive or negative environmental impact
Impacts are studied through the entire lifecycle of each product.
