Materials, emissions and exposure risk in everyday use.
Raw materials, production, transport and end of life.
How long it lasts under normal — and careless — use.
Spare parts, documentation and whether repair is realistic.
Labour conditions and treatment of people across the supply chain.
What is published, verified, and what stays unanswered.
Cost measured against expected lifespan, not sticker price.
Assessor's note
Best available end-of-life for a barrier bag today. Repairability is not a meaningful criterion for single-use packaging.
