Score Breakdown
How rare are the materials?
MSI · 20%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The product relies on abundant materials including borosilicate glass and stainless steel 304, with no EU Critical Raw Materials present. High recycled content of 55% and diversified supply sources in the EU contribute to a low scarcity profile.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The supply chain for glass food storage is sourced from Germany and the European Union, regions with stable governance and low political risk. The presence of an OECD due-diligence framework and a documented alternative supplier supports a moderate risk rating, though the lack of third-party audit verification limits the score to the upper end of the moderate range.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The product features hand-separable design and a verified 88% recovery rate, exceeding the 80% threshold for circular design. Compliance with recycling labels and an active manufacturer take-back scheme further support this high score, indicating practical recovery of glass and other materials in Germany.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
8.0
Why this score ▸
The product features hand-removable stainless clips and a verified iFixit score of 8, indicating component-level replaceability. Spare parts are committed for 15 years and a public service manual is available, aligning with the Designed for Repair criteria.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
8.0
Why this score ▸
Manufacturing occurs in Germany, an OECD jurisdiction with strong labour law enforcement. The facility holds ISO 14001:2015, EMAS, and ResponsibleSteel certifications, and an RBA audit has been completed. A modern slavery statement is published, and ILO compliance is claimed.
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 30 years, exceeding the criteria for the highest tier. The modular design further supports extended usability, and the German assembly indicates high manufacturing standards.
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 55% recycled content combined with a verified take-back scheme and closed-loop programme for glass and stainless steel. It is not Depleting because the recycled content exceeds 50% with a verified take-back mechanism, satisfying the minimum threshold for the Extractive band. While the closed-loop flow and renewable energy usage are significant, the absence of Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) inputs or verified ecosystem restoration prevents a score in the Restorative or Regenerative bands.
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 glass food storage set earns a HIP Score of 7.2 out of 10, matching the current market baseline for kitchen equipment. It achieves a Regenerative Index of -2.0, reflecting its strong use of recycled materials and a verified take-back program. Overall, the product stands out for its durable construction, long design life, and high potential for recycling.
What This Means For You
When shopping for kitchen storage, look for items made from durable materials like glass and stainless steel that come with long warranties or repairability guarantees. Prioritize products that offer take-back schemes or high recycled content to support a circular economy. Avoid single-use plastics or items with no clear path for repair or recycling at the end of their life.
