Approach by number of products

An approach is to create generic panel that will be useful for the largest number of products (eg packaging, reuse/donation, certifications, dimensions, materials…)

Approach by circular loop step

Mini-spec:
- Existence of repair manuals or guides.
- Availability of spare parts.
- Estimated repair costs.
- Manufacturer's warranty information.
- User reports on repairability.
- Links to repair services or tutorials.
Data sources: User contributions, manufacturer websites, repair service directories.
Benefits: Promotes product longevity, reduces waste, empowers consumers.

Mini-spec:
- Second-hand market availability and value.
- Upcycling or repurposing ideas.
- Brands' take-back programs.
- Recycling options and instructions.
Data sources: Brand websites, sustainability reports, recycling databases, reuse platforms.
Benefits: Encourages responsible consumption, minimizes waste, highlights sustainable alternatives.

Mini-spec:
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) data or carbon footprint estimates, even without Eco-Score
- Packaging footprint (materials, recyclability).
- Water usage and sourcing details.
- Production origin and ethical sourcing information.
- Certifications or eco-labels.
Data sources: Manufacturer reports, LCA databases, environmental certifications, brand disclosures.
Benefits: Informs consumers about environmental impact, promotes sustainable choices.

Let's also focus on the most popular categories (https://world.openproductsfacts.org/categories), so that we show value in those cases.
Currently the most popular categories are, in order: books/publications, detergents, cigarettes, toilet papers, mobile phones
We've considered exploring for partnerships: tampons and periodic protections

Some categories have scores that provide value to consumers (eg smartphones, textile…): Open Products Facts scores - let's focus on places where we have things to build upon
