Something we are noticing with categories being dependent on the EEE status is that where there is uncertainty over the EEE status but there is a category you either stay with “Misc” or take a guess as to whether it might be electrical or not… e.g.
DVD players - these could be categorised as “Hi-fi separates” (which is probably what they’re most like, in terms of weight and CO2 impact) or “TV and gaming-related accessories” (which is a closer description to what it does). So one categorisation maybe gives a more accurate impact metric, but the other makes more sense?
Yup categorization does depend on what you are using the categorization for. Perhaps in MiscCat giving an idea of why we create statistics (e.g. for the Fixometer) might help people decide which is the appropriate category, like with the DVD player example you give
It might have been worth adding an input box to MiscCat to collect suggestions in order to quantify them. Nonetheless I can run some queries to find keywords within the remaining Misc items.
