6.8 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%
7.5
Why this score ▸
The product scores highly due to 48% recycled content and diverse supply chains across the EU, Poland, Chile, and South Korea. However, the inclusion of indium, a material on the EU Critical Raw Materials list, prevents a perfect score despite its low weight percentage of 1%.
Where do the materials come from?
SCR · 18%
6.0
Why this score ▸
The television supply chain sources key materials from Chile, the European Union, Poland, and South Korea, all of which have stable governance scores. The manufacturer cites the OECD Due Diligence Guidance and has documented an alternative supplier, meeting the criteria for moderate risk. However, the score is capped at 6 because the due diligence programme is not yet third-party verified.
Can it be recycled?
RC · 18%
7.8
Why this score ▸
The television features screw-based disassembly, compliant recycling labelling, and an active manufacturer take-back scheme, enabling 78% of materials to enter practical recycling streams. This performance aligns with the 'Well-Designed for Recovery' category where verified recovery rates and take-back infrastructure drive the score.
Can you fix it?
R · 13%
7.0
Why this score ▸
The television features screw-fastened assembly and a 10-year spare parts commitment with a public service manual, meeting EU Ecodesign minimum requirements for repairability. An iFixit score of 6 indicates practical independent repair capability, aligning with the 7-8 range for products within regulatory scope that satisfy baseline criteria.
Is it made fairly?
SEI · 8%
7.0
Why this score ▸
The manufacturer holds ISO 14001:2015 certification and has completed an RBA audit, which qualifies for the Verified Good Practice tier. Production occurs in Poland, an OECD member with strong labour law enforcement, further supporting the score.
How long will it last?
PL · 8%
9.0
Why this score ▸
The product demonstrates a design for life with a 5-year warranty and a stated 12-year design life, exceeding the 10-year threshold for the highest tier. The modular design and 10-year software support commitment further confirm its capability to outlast market norms.
Does it give back to nature?
RI · 15% · scale −10 to +10
-1.0
Why this score ▸
The product scores in the Extractive band (-5 to -1) due to 48% recycled content combined with a verified take-back scheme and closed-loop programme for indium. This qualifies for the minimum Extractive threshold under Rule 1, as the presence of recycled content and recovery mechanisms prevents the Depleting floor (-7) from applying. The score does not reach Renewable (0) because the primary material origin is not bio-based renewable and no FSC/PEFC or Regenerative Organic certifications are 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 television achieves a HIP Score of 6.8 out of 10, matching the current market baseline for consumer electronics. It also carries a Regenerative Index of -1.0, indicating it is in the extractive band due to its reliance on virgin materials despite having a verified take-back scheme. Overall, the product demonstrates strong durability and repairability features that align with the category average.
What This Means For You
When shopping for a television, look for models that offer long warranties, spare parts availability, and clear recycling instructions to ensure the device lasts longer. Prioritize brands that hold environmental certifications and have active programs to take back old units for proper processing. Avoid products that lack a clear path for repair or end-of-life recycling, as these contribute to unnecessary waste.
