At Icecat, we believe that good data is the backbone of sustainable progress. Over the past years, we’ve been steadily enriching our Open Product Database with sustainability-related product information. Today, we’re proud to share a major milestone: 12 million sustainability data elements are now live and available.
This growing dataset is more than just a number — it reflects our long-term commitment to supporting sustainability across global supply chains. While policy frameworks like the EU Green Deal, ESPR (Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation), and upcoming initiatives such as the Digital Product Passport continue to evolve, we see one thing clearly: the demand for accessible, standardized sustainability data is here to stay.
Our current taxonomy already includes key environmental and circularity attributes, helping brands and retailers meet early sustainability demands and improve transparency for consumers. As new regulations roll out, we’re ready to adapt — and we’re actively following developments to ensure our taxonomy supports future requirements.
To give a snapshot of what’s already available, we’ve highlighted the Top 20 most-used sustainability data elements in the table below. Consequently, these elements reflect what brands are prioritizing and what users are searching for today.
Additionally, this milestone is just one part of our broader commitment. We’re continuing to:
We invite everyone — from manufacturers and retailers to solution providers and policymakers — to explore our Open Database and collaborate with us as the sustainability landscape matures.
