Versatile Stain Remover for Efficient Cleaning (275 Loads)

Compact by Design is an initiative we created to identify products that, while they may not always look very 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 carbon emission reductions.

The goal of this program is to promote sustainability by focusing on making impactful, yet subtle changes. Small adjustments in product size and weight can result in lower carbon emissions. While the physical appearance of these products may not change dramatically, the underlying design optimizations make a real difference.

Some of the key ways products can qualify for the Compact by Design designation include:

1. Reduced product weight: By minimizing the overall weight of a product, less energy is required to transport it, leading to lower carbon emissions.

2. Decreased package size: Streamlining packaging dimensions allows for more efficient storage and shipping, reducing the environmental impact.

3. Elimination of excess materials: Removing unnecessary components, such as excess air or water, can significantly reduce a product's carbon footprint.

4. Optimized product dimensions: Carefully designing the product's size and shape to minimize wasted space can enhance transportation efficiency.

5. Lightweight materials: Incorporating lightweight, yet durable materials into the product's construction can decrease its overall weight and environmental impact.

Through these types of design optimizations, Compact by Design products are able to deliver the same functionality and quality while consuming fewer resources and generating lower carbon emissions. By focusing on these subtle yet impactful changes, we aim to drive meaningful sustainability improvements across a wide range of product categories.

The Compact by Design program is part of our broader commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We believe that by identifying and promoting these types of efficient product designs, we can encourage both manufacturers and consumers to make more conscious choices that contribute to a greener future.
