EcoTrace – Sustainable Shopping

Carbon footprint · Repairability · Price-to-CO₂ index · Local shops · Achievements

EcoTrace shows the real environmental cost of what you're about to buy — right on the Amazon product page, before you click "Buy Now." WHAT IT SHOWS 🌱 CO₂ footprint — production + shipping emissions, broken down and explained 🔧 Repairability score — based on iFixit data and the EU ESPR Repairability Index 2024 💶 Repair cost estimate — typical workshop and DIY prices for 30+ popular devices ♻️ Second-hand alternatives — direct links to Back Market, Rebuy, Vinted, Willhaben & more 💡 Predecessor models — see how much you'd save by buying last year's model instead 🗺️ Local shops nearby — find repair cafés and second-hand stores near you WHY IT'S DIFFERENT EcoTrace runs entirely offline. The CO₂ database (456 products), repairability scores (300+ devices), and predecessor model data are all built into the extension — no data is sent anywhere, no tracking, no ads. Information appears in under 300ms. Optional: connect a free Climatiq API key in settings for live emission data on products not in the local database. DATA SOURCES All values come from published manufacturer lifecycle reports (Apple PER, Samsung PCF, Google Environmental Reports) and peer-reviewed studies (HIGG MSI, Poore & Nemecek 2018, EcoInvent v3.8). Every number is sourced and shown transparently in the widget. PRIVACY No data leaves your browser unless you explicitly enable the Climatiq API or live iFixit lookups in settings. No accounts, no tracking, no analytics. Open source on GitHub. https://github.com/Maxation/EcoTrace Available in German and English.
