♻️Adjusting recovery settings

Reminder: to be considered recovered, a product must be recoverable and the recovery facilities must be available.

Criteria for a product to be considered recovered.

The tutorial below explains how to adjust these two settings.

1

Specify whether your product is optimized for recycling

This can be done when creating a new product or editing an existing one.

2

Specify access to recovery infrastructure

To customize recovery infrastructure access, toggle Custom Composting and Recycling when comparing products or scoring a portfolio.

Now, choose the recovery options for the relevant products. Note that only certain materials are eligible for composting and recycling.

Example

The availability of composting and recycling infrastructure can drastically change a product's overall score, as seen in the example below.

"Trashtown" offers no recovery infrastructure, while "Ecoville" has all the options. The score won't change for reusable products.

Example scores for various cups based on different recovery infrastructure availabilities. "Trashtown" represents poor infrastructure, while "Ecoville" has all the options.
