8.1 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%
9.5
Why this score ▸
The product relies entirely on abundant bio-based materials (linen and hemp) with no EU Critical Raw Materials present. Supply chains are diversified across multiple EU farms in France, eliminating single-country concentration risks. The verified status of GOTS and organic certifications further supports the high sustainability rating.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The supply chain sources linen and hemp from France, a jurisdiction 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 single sourcing country limits the score compared to fully diversified chains.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
9.0
Why this score ▸
The product utilizes a single-material construction of linen and hemp, which are fully compostable and enter verified recovery streams, exceeding the 80% weight threshold for circular design. The presence of a manufacturer take-back scheme, compliant recycling labelling, and verified design for disassembly confirms practical circularity rather than theoretical recyclability. This approach aligns with the highest tier of circular product design where materials are explicitly designed for recovery and return.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
7.0
Why this score ▸
The product features a fully screw-fastened design using natural fibre with no adhesive, supported by a public service manual and a 10-year spare parts commitment. The iFixit score of 7 confirms that independent repair is genuinely practical for this category of linen and hemp accessories.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
8.0
Why this score ▸
Manufacturing in France, an OECD jurisdiction with strong labour law enforcement, combined with a completed RBA audit and multiple third-party certifications including GOTS, ISO 14001, and Oeko-Tex Made in Green. The presence of a modern slavery statement and ILO compliance claims further supports this verified good practice rating.
How long will it last?
PL · 8%
9.5
Why this score ▸
The product demonstrates exceptional longevity with a 5-year warranty and a stated design life of 20 years, exceeding the 10-year threshold for the highest tier. Manufactured in France, the linen and hemp accessories benefit from durable natural materials and a design explicitly intended to outlast market norms.
Does it give back to nature?
RI · 15% · scale −10 to +10
+6.0
Why this score ▸
The product qualifies for the Regenerative band (+6 to +10) because primary materials (linen and hemp) are bio-based renewable crops with verified soil-improving practices under GOTS certification, which explicitly precludes the Depleting floor. The presence of a closed-loop programme, end-of-life composting, and third-party verified regenerative practices (soil organic matter improvement and carbon sequestration) satisfies the requirement for third-party verified evidence to score above +5.

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 product achieves a HIP Score of 8.1 out of 10, matching the current market baseline for home lifestyle accessories while earning a Regenerative Index of +6.0. It stands out for using abundant, bio-based materials like linen and hemp that are fully compostable and designed for long-term durability. The combination of a robust 20-year design life and a 5-year warranty reflects a commitment to quality that goes beyond standard expectations.
What This Means For You
When shopping for home lifestyle accessories, look for items made from single-material, bio-based fabrics that are designed to be fully compostable at the end of their life. Prioritize products with clear warranties and long design lives, as these indicate a commitment to durability over disposable use. Avoid items that rely on mixed materials or adhesives, which often prevent recycling and reduce the product's ability to return to the earth safely.
