Eco Friendly Review · A testing bureau

Proof over greenwash.

We buy the sustainable version of everyday things, test what they’re made of, and score it — so a green label has to survive the data before it earns a Buy.

Three empty food storage containers in a row on a bone-white counter in soft raking daylight: a square clear glass box with a glass lid in a pale silicone frame resting flat on top, an open brushed stainless steel box with its clear glass lid propped against its side so the bare metal interior shows, and a translucent milky silicone box with the concertina folds readable in its sidewall and its soft lid lying beside itLatest readout

How we test

No greenwashing — just the swaps that survived the data.

  1. 01

    We buy it ourselves

    No samples, no sponsor picks. Every product is bought at retail, the same way you would.

  2. 02

    We live with it

    We use the swap in real life — through dishes, commutes, and laundry — and judge it by material and durability, not the label.

  3. 03

    We publish the number

    Each pick is scored 0–5 on four axes and given a verdict. The score is derived from what it’s made of, not how green it looks.
