6.5 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%
5.5
Why this score ▸
The product contains neodymium (4% by weight), a functional EU Critical Raw Material, which prevents it from qualifying for the 7-8 band despite high recycled content. While the supply chain shows diversity with extraction from the EU, Australia, and Chile, the presence of a non-trace functional CRM limits the score to the moderate range.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The dishwasher's supply chain is diversified across Australia, Chile, and the EU (Germany), all with stable governance, and relies on OECD due diligence guidance. However, the lack of a third-party verified audit for specific materials like copper or steel limits the score to the moderate risk range.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
8.0
Why this score ▸
This dishwasher achieves a high circularity score due to its screw-based disassembly, verified 88% practical recovery rate, and active manufacturer take-back scheme. The combination of design for disassembly and compliant labeling places it in the 'Well-Designed for Recovery' category, exceeding the typical small appliance baseline.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The dishwasher features all standard screws and has a public service manual, with spare parts committed for 15 years. The iFixit score of 8 confirms this high level of repairability, placing it in the 'Designed for Repair' category.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
7.5
Why this score ▸
The manufacturer demonstrates verified good practice with an RBA audit completed and ISO 14001 certification in a low-risk jurisdiction (Germany). While ILO compliance is claimed, the presence of the RBA audit and environmental certification justifies a score above the baseline, though full supply chain transparency to raw materials is not evidenced.
How long will it last?
PL · 8%
9.5
Why this score ▸
This dishwasher demonstrates exceptional longevity with a 10-year warranty and a stated 20-year design life, exceeding the 'Designed for Life' threshold of 10+ years. The modular design and 15-year software support further confirm its capability to outlast market norms, though the lack of a submitted IP rating prevents a perfect score.
Does it give back to nature?
RI · 15% · scale −10 to +10
-3.0
Why this score ▸
The product scores in the Extractive band (-3.0) because it contains 62% recycled content and operates a verified take-back scheme, which qualifies it for the minimum of -3 per Rule 1. It is not Depleting because the combination of recycled content >= 50% and a verified take-back program explicitly exempts it from the -7 floor. It does not qualify for Restorative or Regenerative bands as no ROC certifications or verified ecosystem restoration evidence were submitted.
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 dishwasher earns a HIP Score of 6.5 out of 10, indicating solid performance with a Regenerative Index of -3.0, which reflects its use of recycled materials and a take-back program. While it contains some critical raw materials, the product stands out for its long design life, easy repairability, and high recovery rate at the end of its life. Overall, it represents a durable and responsible choice within the larger appliances category.
What This Means For You
When shopping for large appliances, look for models that offer long warranties and clear repair manuals to ensure they last for decades. Prioritize products that use recycled content and have verified programs to take the item back for recycling when you are done with it. Avoid appliances that are difficult to disassemble or lack spare parts, as these often end up in landfills much sooner.
