Vaseline Lip Therapy | Lip Balm for Very Dry Lips | 20g

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. The removal of excess air and water from these products results in less packaging required and more efficient shipping. At scale, these small differences in product size and weight lead to significant reductions in carbon emissions.

One of the key focuses of Compact by Design is sustainability. Small changes in product size and weight can lead to lower carbon emissions. Here are a few of the many ways products can qualify for the Compact by Design program:

1. Reduced Packaging: By removing excess air and water from products, less packaging is required. This leads to a smaller overall product size and weight, which in turn reduces the carbon emissions associated with shipping.

2. Efficient Shipping: With a more compact product design, more units can be transported in a single shipment. This increased efficiency in the supply chain results in fewer truck or airplane trips, ultimately lowering the carbon footprint of product delivery.

3. Space-Saving: Compact by Design products take up less shelf space in retail stores and warehouse storage. This allows for more efficient use of existing space, reducing the need for additional facilities or expansions, which would require additional energy and resources.

4. Material Reduction: The optimization of product design can lead to the use of fewer raw materials, such as plastics or metals. This directly contributes to a lower carbon footprint, as the extraction, processing, and transportation of these materials are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions.

5. Energy Efficiency: Certain Compact by Design products, such as electronics or household appliances, may be designed to consume less energy during their operation. This further reduces the environmental impact throughout the product's life cycle.

By focusing on these areas, Compact by Design helps manufacturers and consumers alike to make more sustainable choices. The small changes in product size and weight may not always be visually apparent, but their cumulative impact on carbon emissions can be significant.

Sustainability is a critical consideration in today's world, and Compact by Design is one of the ways we are working to reduce the environmental footprint of the products we offer. Through these design optimizations, we can make a meaningful contribution to the fight against climate change while still delivering the high-quality products our customers expect.
