Intro
This document describes how the eco-score packaging malus can be extended to other countries.
Explanation
The basis for the packaging part of the eco-score is described in the base document. This document distinguishes two parts of packaging: where is comes from (upstream) and where is goes to (downstream).
Upstream
The upstream part describes the origin of the materials used in packaging. Is the material used recyclable? Has the material been re-used? Is the material part of a sustainable cycle?
The upstream formula is defined as:
score = A * 1 + B * 0.75 + C * 0.5 + D * 0
Le score amont correspond à la somme des points accordés. Il s'exprime sur 100. La somme des 4 origines possibles (A, B, C, D) doit toujours être égale à 100%.
A le % d'incorporation de matières premières recyclées B le % de matière première renouvelable et durable C le % de matière première renouvelable non durable D le % de matière première non renouvelable
The A, B, C and D depend on the material. The actual values might be dependent on the country.
Downstream
Individual countries
For each country we need to find the relevant up- and downstream data. For countries of the EU, the Eurostat database is a good start for downstream statistics.
