7.3 HIP
This is the best score a product in this category can reach when the maker shares full data about
its materials, supply chain, repairs, and end-of-life. It is a target, not a product on sale today.

Score Breakdown
How rare are the materials?
MSI · 20%
9.0
Why this score ▸
The product utilizes only abundant commodity materials (aluminium and commodity plastics) with no EU Critical Raw Materials present. It achieves an exemplary score due to 68% recycled content and verified supply chains entirely within the EU, eliminating single-country concentration risks.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The camping tent's supply chain is sourced from the European Union and Netherlands, regions with stable governance and low political risk. The presence of an OECD due-diligence framework and a documented alternative supplier mitigates concentration risks, though the lack of specific material breakdown and third-party audit verification prevents a higher score.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
7.5
Why this score ▸
The camping tent features a pole-and-clip modular design with verified disassembly and a compliant recycling label, enabling clean separation of materials. With a 72% practical recovery rate and an active manufacturer take-back scheme, it meets the criteria for a well-designed product for recovery, falling within the 7-8 range.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The product features a fully screw-fastened design with no adhesive on the primary structure, ensuring non-destructive disassembly. It benefits from a verified 10-year spare parts commitment and a publicly available service manual, meeting the criteria for a product designed for repair.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The manufacturer operates in the Netherlands, a low-risk jurisdiction with strong labour laws, and holds multiple rigorous certifications including ISO 14001, GRS, bluesign, and ASI. The completion of an RBA audit combined with a modern slavery statement and ILO compliance claims confirms verified good practice, justifying a score in the 7-8 range.
How long will it last?
PL · 8%
9.5
Why this score ▸
The product demonstrates exceptional longevity with a 10-year warranty and a stated design life of 20 years, exceeding the 'Designed for Life' threshold of 10 years. The modular design further supports extended usability by allowing component replacement, aligning with the highest tier of the scoring rubric.
Does it give back to nature?
RI · 15% · scale −10 to +10
-2.0
Why this score ▸
The product scores in the Extractive band (-5 to -1) due to 68% recycled content and a verified take-back scheme, which qualifies it for a minimum of -3. It is not Depleting because the combination of recycled content >= 50% and a verified take-back scheme explicitly exempts it from the -7 floor. While the closed-loop programme and PFC-free practices are restorative, the absence of Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) inputs prevents a score in the Restorative or Regenerative bands.

About the HIP Methodology ▸
Starting scores are low on purpose. We only count what we can confirm from public data,
so most products sit between 2 and 4 out of 10 before a maker shares their own evidence.
That gap between the starting score and what a product could reach is the whole point.
When a maker proves what their product is really made of, the score goes up.
The HIP Mark shows it has been checked.

Consumer Summary
This camping tent earns a HIP Score of 7.3 out of 10, reflecting a solid balance of durability and responsible sourcing. It also carries a Regenerative Index of -2.0, indicating that while it uses significant recycled materials, it currently operates within a standard circular model rather than a fully regenerative one.
What This Means For You
When shopping for outdoor gear, look for products with long warranties and designs that can be easily taken apart for repair or recycling. Prioritize items made from common materials like aluminum and plastics that are sourced from regions with strong labor laws, and avoid products that rely on permanent adhesives or obscure supply chains.
