Compact by Design: Enhancing Sustainability through Efficient Product Design

At Amazon, we recognize the critical importance of sustainability in today's world. That's why we created Compact by Design, an initiative aimed at identifying products that, while they may not always look very different, have a more efficient design. By focusing on reducing excess air and water content, these products require less packaging, making them more efficient to ship.

The impact of these small changes in product size and weight can be significant when scaled up. Reduced carbon emissions are a key outcome, as the transportation of goods accounts for a substantial portion of global greenhouse gas emissions. By optimizing product design, we can contribute to a more sustainable future.

To qualify for the Compact by Design certification, products must meet specific criteria. For example, a product that traditionally comes in a 11.99oz package may be redesigned to fit into a 6-piece container, without compromising the overall quantity or quality of the product. This small adjustment not only reduces the packaging materials required but also enables more efficient transportation, leading to lower carbon emissions.

Another example is a household cleaning product that previously required a large container to accommodate excess water content. By removing the unnecessary water and optimizing the formula, the product can be packaged in a smaller, more compact container. This not only saves on packaging materials but also reduces the overall weight of the shipment, resulting in decreased fuel consumption and emissions during transportation.

These are just a few of the many ways in which Compact by Design helps drive sustainability. By focusing on the subtle yet impactful changes in product design, we can collectively make a significant difference in reducing our environmental impact. As more and more brands and consumers embrace this approach, the cumulative effect on global carbon emissions can be substantial.

At Amazon, we are committed to continually exploring innovative ways to enhance sustainability across our operations and in the products we offer. Compact by Design is just one of the many initiatives we have implemented to fulfill our responsibility to the planet and future generations. By working together with our partners and customers, we can create a greener, more sustainable future for all.
