Correcting Primer for Even Skin Tone

Compact by Design is an initiative we created to identify products that, despite not always looking 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 can lead to significant reductions in carbon emissions.

Sustainability is the focus, and even minor changes in product size and weight can contribute to lowering carbon footprints. Here are just a few of the many ways products can qualify for the Compact by Design program:

One way products can qualify is by reducing the amount of excess air or water included in their packaging. This not only decreases the overall size and weight of the product, but also leads to less packaging material being required. As a result, these products become more efficient to transport, ultimately reducing the carbon emissions associated with their distribution.

Another qualifying factor is the optimization of product design to minimize unnecessary components or materials. By carefully evaluating the product's design and eliminating any superfluous elements, the overall size and weight can be decreased without compromising the product's functionality or performance. This streamlined approach translates to lower carbon emissions throughout the product's lifecycle.

The use of more compact and efficient packaging solutions is also a key criteria for the Compact by Design program. By exploring alternative packaging materials and designs that reduce the overall volume and weight, products can become lighter and more space-efficient to ship. This, in turn, leads to a reduction in the carbon footprint associated with transportation and logistics.

In addition to the direct impact on size and weight, the Compact by Design initiative also considers the indirect environmental benefits of more efficient product design. For example, products that require less packaging material or are designed to use fewer resources during production can have a significant positive impact on sustainability metrics, such as water usage or energy consumption.

By focusing on these types of design optimizations, the Compact by Design program aims to identify products that, while outwardly similar to their conventional counterparts, have a more eco-friendly and carbon-conscious approach. These small yet impactful changes can contribute to a larger collective effort towards a more sustainable future.
