Product Tools

The Higg Materials Sustainability Index (MSI) is a material scoring tool that measures the environmental impacts of material production from raw material to the finished processing of the material. The Higg MSI API can be used by companies to integrate Higg MSI data within their own internal systems. It can also be used by third-parties, such as Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems, to enable shared customers to access Higg MSI account data in the third-party system. The Higg Product Module (PM) includes a full analysis of the product inputs and processes to calculate a cradle-to-grave (ie raw material through end of use) product impact assessment. The PM API allows you to automatically send your MSI materials to Product Module to fill out product bill of materials. You can further customize the product within Product Module or use the Product Module defaults. The impacts for the products can then be pulled back into your third-party system.
The limited API endpoints will not return LCIA impact values for sub-processes within a material. All API interactions and endpoints are the same. However, these are accessed at different base-urls. MSI API (Limited) MSI API (Full) PM API
