# BuyGreen

> Independent sustainability ratings for everyday products. Every product is scored 0–100 across 8 weighted pillars — materials, chemicals & human health, durability, repairability, certifications, manufacturing, packaging, and brand integrity — with a transparent rationale and cited evidence.

BuyGreen is an editorial product-rating platform for shoppers who want someone to have done the research. Scores are calculated by a versioned methodology, snapshotted per scorecard so historic ratings stay anchored, and gated by a four-tier evidence model that distinguishes independent labs from brand marketing.
