| The eco-score calculation is based on countries. As some countries are very big, any transport in such a country might be seen as greenwashing. Also it makes comparison between countries impossible. | | The eco-score calculation is based on countries.

− | Instaead of using countries as smallest entity, one could use territories of a country as smallest entity. For France this would mean the Régions, for Germany the Länder, etc. If the purchase and production location fall within a single territory, the bonus score would be 100. Any transport between territories would imply a lower bonus score.

| If both the purchase and production location are not known, we could fall back to the country based eco-score. If either the purchase or the production location is unknown, we can make the assumption that the it is in the most populous territory and calculate the eco-score based on this. | | If both the purchase and production location are not known, we could fall back to the country based eco-score.

− | Need an example to see what the effect would be. For instance purchasing a Camembert in Nice, etc.
| + | This idea can be explored a bit further. The first step is that we need to know the territory of the user. Then we have the following three situations: |
| + | # Producer in the same territory - |
| + | # Producer in another territory - |
| + | # Producer in another country - |
