Compact by Design is an initiative we created to identify products that, though they may not appear drastically different, have a more efficient design. Through the removal of excess air and water, these products require less packaging and become more efficient to ship. At scale, these small differences in product size and weight lead to significant reductions in carbon emissions.

The focus of this program is on sustainability. Small changes in product size and weight can result in lower carbon emissions. While the physical appearance of these products may not always look very different, their design is optimized for efficiency.

There are many ways in which products can qualify for the Compact by Design designation. For instance, reducing the amount of excess air and water in a product allows for less packaging to be used. This, in turn, makes the overall product more efficient to transport, as less space is required. When these small adjustments are applied across large volumes, the cumulative impact on carbon emissions can be substantial.

By identifying products that have been designed with efficiency in mind, Compact by Design aims to highlight offerings that are better for the environment without sacrificing functionality or quality. The program recognizes that sometimes the most impactful changes are not always the most obvious ones. Simple tweaks to the size and weight of a product can have meaningful consequences when scaled up.

Sustainability is at the core of this initiative. Compact by Design seeks to incentivize manufacturers to explore ways of optimizing their products, even if the visual differences are minor. The goal is to drive progress through these incremental improvements, which can collectively make a significant difference in reducing the carbon footprint associated with the production and transportation of consumer goods.

In summary, Compact by Design is a program focused on identifying products that, despite their similar appearances, have been designed with efficiency and sustainability in mind. By highlighting these offerings, the initiative aims to encourage more environmentally conscious design choices that can lead to meaningful reductions in carbon emissions.
