About Fluven

A name built from two ideas: flow and green.

Fluven is a coined word: fluide (French: fluid, flowing, effortless) meets vert (French: green), softened to -ven. Neither word appears in the name. Both ideas live inside it: seamless motion and deep sustainability, without announcing either.

That duality is the product. Our mission: make sustainable shopping effortless.

Product

Sustainability intelligence, built into your browser.

Fluven is a Chrome extension that scores Amazon products in real time across three sustainability dimensions. No tabs to open, no databases to search.

Instant scoring

Every Amazon product page triggers real-time sustainability analysis using Claude AI. Scores appear as a floating overlay, no extra clicks, no waiting.

Top Pick

On search result pages, Fluven surfaces the single most sustainable option, grounded in the same scores you see on the page, so better choices take zero extra effort.

Greener alternatives

When a product scores low, Fluven surfaces a higher-scoring alternative right away, so switching to a better option takes one click.

The Scoring Rubric

Click each dimension to explore the criteria.

How a score is built

Four steps, applied to every product Fluven evaluates.

1

Category detection

Every product is routed to one of 7 category rubrics (food and grocery, electronics, apparel, beauty and household, home and furniture, books and office, general) so products are judged against fair peers.

2

Category baseline

Each category starts from a research-based baseline: certified organic food starts at 70, books at 70, refurbished electronics at 65, conventional food at 58, new electronics at 33, synthetic-fiber apparel at 33.

3

Evidence-based adjustments

Only facts visibly stated on the product page count. Certifications add points (Fair Trade +15, Cradle to Cradle +15, ENERGY STAR +12, Carbon Neutral +12, FSC +10, GOTS +12, refillable or concentrate formats +10) and red flags subtract (single-use plastics -18, ultra-fast fashion brands -20, palm oil without RSPO certification -8). Nothing is inferred: if a certification is not printed on the page, it does not count.

4

Weighted verdict

Overall = 40% carbon + 30% waste + 30% ethics. 65-100 is Great Choice, 40-64 is It's OK, below 40 is Worth Avoiding.

A few examples

A certified-refurbished laptop starts from the refurbished baseline of 65 and gains a renewed bonus, typically landing Great Choice.
An organic Fair Trade coffee starts at 70 and gains organic and Fair Trade credits, landing Great Choice.
A fast-fashion polyester jacket starts at 33 and loses further points for the brand and uncertified synthetics, landing Worth Avoiding.

What keeps scores honest

Scoring is deterministic, the same product always gets the same score. Food products are cross-checked against the Open Food Facts Eco-Score database when available, and scores note only facts present in the product listing.
