How scores are calculated
Materials (40%): How plastic-free the product is — raw materials, construction, and coatings.
Packaging (20%): Is the product packaged in plastic? Is it recyclable?
Transparency (20%): Does the brand disclose ingredients, sourcing, and manufacturing?
Durability (20%): How long does it last? Longer-lasting products reduce plastic waste over time.
This is a rating of this specific product only — not the company. Other products from this brand may score differently.

Drinking water is the most direct route of chemical exposure. Tap water can contain PFAS, chlorine byproducts, heavy metals, and microplastics.
Why We Rated It This Way
ZeroWater has the most effective filtration of any pitcher filter — removing PFAS, heavy metals, and virtually all dissolved solids. The plastic pitcher is a compromise. A glass carafe with ZeroWater filters would be ideal.
