Introduction to products and variants
In Prodikt, a product is displayed similar to how it appears in a webshop or on a company website. Each product includes a picture, description, technical details, circularity data, and sustainability information.
A product is a unique item defined by its climate impact and material composition. If either of these change, it is considered a new product and requires a separate product page
A variant is a version of a product where the weight, material composition and sustainability metrics remain the same, but other attributes - such as color, size, or design - differ. Since the product data stays consistent, a variant does not require a separate product page.
Example: A floor with same weight per m2, but with different options of colours will be treated as one product (the colour options will be variants of the products).
Different thickness of the floor will have different weights per m2, and therefore it will be treated as new products.
