Open Products Facts scores

Some of the open sustainability and reparability scores that exist, some of which we might want to list and/or compute in Open Products Facts:
The French Repairability Index
- The French Repairability Index: Introduced in 2021, the French Repairability Index is a government-backed initiative that requires manufacturers to display a repairability score on certain electronic products. The index takes into account factors like the availability of spare parts, the ease of disassembly, and the availability of repair documentation.

The French Durability Index
- The French Durability Index is an evolution of the existing French Repairability Index. While the Repairability Index focuses on how easily a product can be repaired, the Durability Index aims to assess the overall lifespan and robustness of a product.
Others
- iFixit: iFixit is a global community of people helping each other repair things. They maintain a comprehensive database of device teardowns and repair guides, as well as a repairability score for many devices. The iFixit repairability score rates devices on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being the easiest to repair.
- Open Repair Alliance: The Open Repair Alliance is a coalition of organizations working to promote the right to repair. They are developing a set of open standards for repairability, which will help consumers make informed choices about the products they buy.
- Fairphone: Fairphone is a social enterprise that produces smartphones designed to be modular and repairable. They have developed their own sustainability score, which rates their phones on various factors, including durability, repairability, and the use of recycled materials.
- EPEAT: Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) is a global ecolabel for IT products. It evaluates products based on 51 environmental criteria, including energy efficiency, material selection, and end-of-life management. While not strictly a reparability score, EPEAT does consider product longevity and upgradability, which are important factors for repairability.
Tasks
- We need to find open implementation of those scores, or write them ourselves
- We need to list all the variables they need to be computed and add support within the Folksonomy Engine
