  How to use it: 
  In order to assign an impact category to a product, users must first select the product from the list of available products. Once selected, users can then assign an impact category from the list of available categories.

  When assigning an impact category to a product, it is important to consider the environmental impact of the product. For example, if a product has a high energy consumption, it should be assigned a higher impact category than one with a lower energy consumption. Additionally, it is important to keep track of the impact categories assigned to each product in order to ensure that they are accurate and up-to-date.
