A Smart Choice needs to reduce the environmental impact in a life cycle perspective, reduce the negative impact of climate change or improve well-being during work or leisure. A Smart Choice may not outcompete other globally vital functions, like food supply, and also needs to fulfill a number of criteria regarding quality and function.
