Yes it is! Fair Comparisons is a new feature that allows you to do just that - compare products on a component level. This means you can now compare the impact data of individual components within your products, rather than only for the overall product.

To see what this looks like you can create a comparison with a product, or several products, that contain at least two components (fx. a cup and a sleeve). Head over to your Comparisons section to get started.

The new feature is located under "Per piece". This means we now have three options for product comparison: "Per product", "Per kg", and "Per piece". "Per product" is now the total product overview (covering all components), while "Per piece" will allow you to look at individual components. With this, you can have a more fair comparison, as you can compare impact data "pr. component", while also seeing how much your components are emitting, relevant to the total emission. Below is an example to better illustrate the point:

Let's use it in an example: Imagine you have made a product that is comprised of 1 box (component A), 25 sleeves (component B), and 5000 cups (component C). With our new comparison feature, you can see how much emission each component produces, relative to each other.

When you first select the "Per piece" comparison, everything is shown in a 1:1 ratio, which means that everything is compared relative to itself: 1 box is emitting 1 box's worth of emissions; 25 sleeves are emitting 25 sleeves' worth of emissions; and 5000 cups are emitting 5000 cups' worth of emissions. If you want to see how much a single sleeve is emitting relative to the other components (in this case the box and the cups) you adjust your comparison settings by selecting (or reselecting) "Per piece" and changing the setting from Box to Sleeve. You will now see the comparison ratio for the Box component go from 1 --> 1 to 1 --> 0.04, and the Cups component go from 5000 --> 5000 to 5000 --> 200. This is because we are now using the Sleeve component as the default comparison. By doing so, we can account for how much emission is taking place on the Sleeve, while also account for the influence it has on the corresponding Box and Cups comments.

The same principle is the case if we choose the Cups component as our default unit of comparison. By adjusting your comparisons to reflect that of a single component within your product, you're able to isolate your data in new ways and get more specific data produced.

Something to consider: Comparisons with products that may not have multiple components will produce quite obscure percentages, as the data will be set for the total product - fx. you may end up comparing impact data for a single paper cup to that of a cardboard box. This will create large differences.
