Promoting Sustainability: Compact by Design

Sustainability is a key focus, and even small adjustments in product size and weight can contribute to lowering carbon emissions. To address this, we have introduced Compact by Design, a program aimed at identifying products that, while not always visually distinct, possess a more efficient design.

By removing excess air and water, these products require less packaging, making them more efficient to ship. Although the changes may seem minor, when scaled up, the cumulative impact on carbon emission reduction can be significant.

There are several ways in which products can qualify for the Compact by Design program:

1. Reduced Packaging: Products that utilize minimal packaging, such as eliminating unnecessary air space or reducing the amount of packaging material, can contribute to lower emissions during transportation.

2. Efficient Sizing: Products that are designed with a more compact and streamlined size, without compromising functionality, can lead to decreased shipping weight and volume, resulting in lower carbon footprints.

3. Concentrated Formulations: Products that are formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients, while reducing the amount of water or other diluents, can reduce the overall product size and weight, leading to more efficient shipping.

4. Lightweight Materials: The use of lightweight materials in product construction, such as alternative plastics or innovative packaging solutions, can decrease the overall weight of the product, further contributing to emission reductions during transportation.

5. Optimized Dimensions: Products that are carefully designed with dimensions that maximize efficient packing and stacking in shipping containers can optimize transportation utilization, reducing the number of trips required and the associated carbon emissions.

6. Refillable Designs: Products that offer refillable options, allowing consumers to reuse the primary packaging, can reduce the overall amount of packaging waste and the associated environmental impact.

By implementing these strategies, we aim to drive meaningful changes in product design and packaging, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future. The Compact by Design program is a testament to our commitment to environmental responsibility, and we encourage our customers to join us in this journey towards a greener tomorrow.
