SMaRT is the ultimate standard for measuring a product's sustainability.
SMaRT evaluates performance over a products life cycle and supply chain using criteria in the areas of Health, Environment, Social Equity and Reclamation. SMaRT incorporates and builds upon other well known sustainable standards and practices to maximize robustness and reduce confusion. SMaRT is applicable to 80% of the world's products.
