About the bureau

We test the green version so you don’t gamble on it.

Sustainable swaps are everywhere, and most marketing won’t tell you which actually hold up. We buy them, live with them, and publish the honest verdict — with the number behind it.

What we believe

Material first

A swap only counts if it’s genuinely better made — renewable, reusable, or compostable. We judge by what it’s made of, not how green the label looks.

Bought, not gifted

We buy everything at retail and live with it. No sponsored picks, no freebies steering the verdict.

Scored, not hyped

Every review ends in a Readout — a number on four axes and a plain verdict — so a green claim has to survive the data before it earns a Buy.

Methodology

How we score

Every pick is scored 0–5 on four axes. They’re weighted into one composite verdict — and each score is derived from what a product is verifiably made of and certified as, not how green its label looks.
