Ecomart is a Chrome extension that revolutionizes online shopping by providing real-time sustainability insights. When browsing products on major e-commerce platforms like Amazon, our extension analyzes product sustainability and suggests eco-friendly alternatives, making it easier than ever to shop responsibly.
- 🔍 Real-Time Analysis: Instant sustainability insights while you shop
- 🌱 Eco Alternatives: Curated suggestions from verified sustainable brands
- 📊 Sustainability Score: Comprehensive rating based on multiple environmental factors
- ♻️ Impact Tracking: Monitor your environmental impact over time
The sustainability score is calculated using weighted parameters that consider the environmental impact of each product. These parameters are:
- 🌱 Overall Sustainability Score: Quick summary rating (0-100%) for decision-making.
- 🌍 Carbon Footprint: CO₂ emissions during production.
- 🚰 Water Usage: Liters of water consumed for production.
- 🏭 Manufacturing Impact: Pollution, deforestation, or waste generated.
- 🔄 Recyclability: Percentage of product that can be recycled.
- ✅ Eco Certifications: Fair Trade, FSC, Energy Star, etc.
- 🛢️ Harmful Chemicals Used: Toxic materials like microplastics and heavy metals.
- 🌾 Material Composition: Organic, recycled, synthetic materials used.
- 🔥 Biodegradability: Time taken to decompose.
✈️ Shipping Impact: Distance traveled & CO₂ emissions from transportation.
For example, a product like an Eco-friendly Bluetooth Speaker will have a sustainability score calculated based on the weighted sum of individual scores for each parameter.
We have conducted extensive research and developed a comprehensive scoring system to evaluate products across key environmental factors. Each metric is assigned a specific weight based on its impact, helping users make more eco-conscious purchasing decisions.
