Zero-Waste Score Test

Measure your zero-waste practice score with a 20-item eco-habit checklist and get tier-based personalized advice.

This is a self-assessment reference tool, not an official environmental metric. Don't be discouraged by low scores — use this as motivation to add habits one at a time.

Check all habits you regularly practice

What is Zero-Waste?

It's a lifestyle that minimizes waste output. 100% zero is unrealistic, but the 5R principle — Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot — guides practice.

How is the score calculated?

Each of 20 items carries 3-5 point weights for 100 max. Weights reflect environmental impact. Your score sums the weights of checked items.

Are tumblers really eco-friendly?

Producing one tumbler uses materials equivalent to ~1,000 disposable cups. You need to use it consistently for 2+ years to break even environmentally. Keeping what you have is more important than buying new.

Where should I start?

Easiest 3: ① bring eco-bags ② carry tumbler ③ no food leftovers. After a month of these, expand to the next level.

What is the zero-waste lifestyle?

Zero-waste is an eco-movement that minimizes daily-life waste and pursues resource circulation. Endorsed by UNEP and Korea's Ministry of Environment, individual habits compound to address global environmental issues.

Why measure?

Concrete scores and area-specific strengths/weaknesses make next actions clear. This tool checks 20 daily habits to give an eco-score with tier-based advice.
