Score Breakdown
How rare are the materials?
MSI · 20%
7.5
Why this score ▸
The product primarily utilizes abundant materials including steel, glass, cast iron, and enamel, with no dominant EU Critical Raw Materials present. Supply chains show good diversity across the EU and Chile, and the 45% recycled content exceeds the 40% threshold for low scarcity classification.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The supply chain demonstrates moderate risk with sourcing from Germany and the EU, which have stable governance scores. The presence of an OECD due-diligence framework and a documented alternative supplier supports this rating, though the specific primary materials are not listed in the provided data.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The cooker features screw-based disassembly and a verified take-back scheme, enabling 90% of materials to enter practical recycling streams. Compliance with recycling labelling and design for disassembly supports a score in the Well-Designed for Recovery range, reflecting high recovery rates for a standard small appliance.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
7.0
Why this score ▸
The cooker features all standard screws and has spare parts available for 15 years, supported by a public service manual. The iFixit score of 7 aligns with the 'Designed for Repair' criteria, and the product meets EU Ecodesign requirements within its scope.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
7.0
Why this score ▸
The manufacturer holds ISO 14001:2015 certification and has completed an RBA audit, meeting the criteria for verified good practice. Production occurs in Germany, an OECD jurisdiction with strong labour law enforcement, and a modern slavery statement is published.
How long will it last?
PL · 8%
9.0
Why this score ▸
The cooker features a 5-year warranty and a stated design life of 20 years, exceeding the 10-year threshold for the highest longevity tier. The modular design further supports long-term repairability, aligning with the criteria for products designed for life.
Does it give back to nature?
RI · 15% · scale −10 to +10
-2.0
Why this score ▸
The product qualifies for the Extractive band (-5 to -1) due to 45% recycled content combined with a verified take-back scheme and closed-loop programme. It is not Depleting because the presence of substantial recycled content and a take-back scheme explicitly exempts it from the -7 floor. The score does not reach Renewable (0) as primary materials are not bio-based renewable and no FSC/PEFC certifications are present.
MSI 20% · SCR 18% · RC 18% · R 13% · SEI 8% · PL 8% · RI 15% = 100%
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 cooker achieves a HIP Score of 6.8 out of 10, matching the current market baseline for larger appliances. It also carries a Regenerative Index of -2.0, indicating it is designed with a focus on material recovery and circularity. The product combines durable materials with a strong warranty and a verified take-back scheme to support long-term use.
What This Means For You
When shopping for large appliances, look for models that offer long warranties and spare parts availability to ensure they last for many years. Prioritize products that include a verified take-back program, as this helps ensure materials are recovered and reused rather than discarded. Choosing items with high recycled content and clear disassembly instructions supports a more sustainable cycle for your home.
