OYA is a location-based database of products based on their social and ecological impacts.
Part of this information includes supply chain, firms' scandals, country of origin, water, and CO2-footprint of its ingredients and certifications. These are compared with similar options within the retail store or with local producers.
By dissecting the products and showing what happens behind the curtain, consumers can compare and finally make rational decisions over what to consume.
