Score Breakdown
How rare are the materials?
MSI · 20%
7.5
Why this score ▸
The product utilizes primarily abundant materials including stainless steel, aluminium, and commodity plastics with no EU Critical Raw Materials present. Supply diversity is strong with extraction occurring across the EU, USA, and Chile, and the 40% recycled content meets the threshold for low scarcity performance.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The supply chain is geographically diversified across France, the EU, Chile, and the USA, all with stable governance scores. The manufacturer has implemented the OECD Due Diligence Guidance framework and documented an alternative supplier, meeting the criteria for moderate risk despite the lack of third-party audit verification.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
7.5
Why this score ▸
The food processor features screw-based disassembly and a verified take-back scheme, enabling 80% of materials to enter practical recycling streams. Compliance with recycling labelling and design for disassembly supports a score within the 7-8 range for well-designed recovery products.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
7.0
Why this score ▸
The product features screw fasteners, a public service manual, and a 15-year spare parts commitment, aligning with the 'Designed for Repair' criteria. The iFixit score of 7 further supports this rating, indicating that independent repair is genuinely practical for this food processor.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
7.0
Why this score ▸
The manufacturer holds ISO 14001:2015 certification and has completed an RBA audit, indicating verified good practice. Production occurs in France, 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 product demonstrates exceptional longevity with a 5-year warranty and a stated design life of 15 years, exceeding the 10-year threshold for the highest tier. The modular design further supports extended usability by enabling component replacement. Although the IP rating and software support were not submitted, the verified design life and warranty alone justify a score in the 9-10 range.
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 40% recycled content combined with a verified take-back scheme and closed-loop programme. It does not qualify for the Depleting floor (-7) because the presence of a take-back scheme and substantial recycled content meets the minimum threshold for the Extractive band. It does not reach the Renewable band (0) as primary materials include virgin stainless steel, aluminium, and polycarbonate without bio-based renewable certification.
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 food processor and blender achieves a HIP Score of 6.7 out of 10, matching the current market baseline for small appliances. It also carries a Regenerative Index of -2.0, reflecting its use of recycled materials and a verified take-back program. Overall, the product stands out for its durable design, long warranty, and commitment to spare parts availability.
What This Means For You
When shopping for small appliances, look for items with long warranties and clear repair manuals to ensure they last for years. Prioritize products that offer take-back schemes or use recycled content, as these features support a more circular economy. Avoid buying items that are difficult to disassemble or lack a plan for end-of-life recycling.
