PayBeans

The Metric for Ethical Consumption


Our choices have an impact.

Make better choices for the planet and for people.

The things we purchase often have hidden consequences, whether they contribute to climate change, pollution, deforestation, or the exploitation of laborers.

PayBeans simplify the real cost of a product, helping you understand its impact on the environment, the community, and the world without all the reasearch.

How do PayBeans work?

A product you purchase has an associated cost in beans. This number represents the product’s non-monetary impact. It includes aspects such as carbon footprint, deforestation caused by its source, and the rights of the workers involved in production.

Why PayBeans?

It’s unrealistic to expect consumers to research everything they buy when life is already so complex. It’s easy to make mistakes and the additional mental load can make shopping difficult.

With PayBeans, a consumer gets a quick estimate to help make a snap decision, much like a Kosher or Non-GMO label.
