Compact by Design: Sustainability through Efficient Design

The pursuit of sustainability often lies in the details. Small adjustments in product size and weight can make a significant impact on carbon emissions. To identify these impactful changes, we created the Compact by Design program, which highlights products that, though they may not appear markedly different, possess a more efficient design.

By removing excess air and water, these products require less packaging, becoming more efficient to ship. While the individual differences may seem minor, the cumulative effect of these small changes in product size and weight can lead to substantial reductions in carbon emissions when scaled up.

There are numerous ways in which products can qualify for the Compact by Design designation. Some key criteria include:

1. Reduced Packaging: Products that minimize the use of packaging materials, such as unnecessary air pockets or excessive water content, can qualify for the Compact by Design label. This not only reduces waste but also decreases the carbon footprint associated with shipping and transportation.

2. Efficient Dimensions: Products designed with a more compact and streamlined shape, without compromising functionality, are eligible for the Compact by Design recognition. This optimization of product dimensions translates to more efficient use of space during transportation and storage.

3. Weight Optimization: Products that have been engineered to reduce their overall weight, without sacrificing quality or performance, can qualify for the Compact by Design program. Lighter products require less fuel for transportation, resulting in lower carbon emissions.

4. Concentrated Formulations: In the case of liquid or powder-based products, formulations that have been optimized to remove excess water or other diluting agents can be considered for the Compact by Design designation. This concentration leads to a smaller package size and reduced shipping impacts.

5. Intelligent Packaging: Innovative packaging solutions that minimize material usage, employ recyclable or biodegradable materials, and optimize the overall product-to-package ratio can also meet the Compact by Design criteria.

By highlighting these products, the Compact by Design program encourages and recognizes the efforts of manufacturers and brands to prioritize sustainability through efficient design. As consumers, we can make informed choices that support these eco-conscious initiatives, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future.
