☑️Portfolio Scoring

1

Starting a new portfolio

Navigate to Create or Edit Comparisons between Product Portfolios and press Define New Portfolio. Give your portfolio a name and a description to continue.

2

Select a region

Currently, users can choose between Global, Europe, United States, Spain, and the imaginary Ecoville. This represents the region where the products will be used. More regions might be added in the future.

The scoring results for the same products may vary based on the selected regions. This is due to different recycling standards used in different geographical locations. The UP Scorecard assumes average recycling and composting rates of the selected region unless the user specifies which materials can be composted or recycled locally. To customize and use local recovery settings, switch the toggle to Customize Composting and Recycling later on in the Results screen.

Choose a use case

4

Choose food or beverage content

If you want to know why it is important to input what foodstuff or beverage is being served or packed, please read the section on Food and Material Interaction.

Skipping this step will automatically assume the highest-risk food (Hot, oily, acidic).

5

Choose products

Select at least two products. One of them must be a reusable option. Press Create Portfolio to continue. If you are logged in, you also have the option to create a new product to add to the comparison in this step.

In the Portfolio Scoring mode, scores will be calculated for the amount of items, not for the volume a product carries.

6

Manage portfolio

From here on you will be able to add new products to your portfolio, edit details of your products, customize recoverability settings, and view your portfolio's score.

7

View results

On the results page, you will see a table displaying your portfolio's score, as well as the best and worst alternative portfolio. Below that you will find the cumulative raw scores for your portfolio. Individual values for each product can be seen by switching the toggle to Score per Use of Product. Furthermore, we provide you with some circularity details and KPIs on your portfolio, as well as details of your portfolio and individual products.
