Are eco-scores comparable between tools?

1111 questions from 157 articles available in English.

Yes, between Ecobalyse and tools built on its API, such as Carbonfact, which produce the same score. Glimpact applies the pure European PEF method, without the criteria added by the French method: specific weighting (increased ecotoxicity, human toxicities at 0), microfibres, textile waste exports and a durability coefficient between 0.67 and 1.45. Its results therefore cannot be directly compared with the official French score. An ISO 14040 LCA carried out in Simapro uses boundaries and a functional unit specific to each study. Every communication must specify the method used.
