Microfiber Cleaning Cloths - 8 Pack

Compact by Design: Focusing on Sustainability

At Amazon, we created the Compact by Design initiative to identify products that, while they may not always look very different, have a more efficient design. By removing 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 essence of Compact by Design lies in the understanding that even minor changes in product size and weight can have a considerable impact on sustainability. When products are designed to be more compact, the required packaging is reduced, and the transportation emissions decrease. This approach aligns with the broader focus on sustainability, as small steps can accumulate to make a substantial difference.

Here are a few examples of products that qualify for the Compact by Design program:

Essential Microfiber Cloths: These highly absorbent and versatile cleaning cloths are designed to be compact, reducing the overall size and weight of the packaging.

Multi Usage Cleaning Cloths: Offering a range of cleaning options, these microfiber cloths are engineered to be space-efficient, contributing to their Compact by Design designation.

Compressed Facial Sponge: By compressing the sponge, the overall volume and weight of the product are minimized, optimizing transportation and storage.

Dish Cloth Kitchen Towel and Microfiber Kitchen Towel: These textiles are designed to be compact, allowing for more efficient packaging and shipping.

Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge: The compact design of this sponge reduces the amount of packaging required, aligning with the Compact by Design principles.

Laundry Detergent Sheets: Replacing traditional liquid detergents, these sheets are designed to be lightweight and compact, reducing the environmental impact of transportation.

The Compact by Design initiative demonstrates Amazon's commitment to sustainability. By identifying and promoting products with efficient designs, the company aims to encourage manufacturers to prioritize sustainability in their product development. This approach not only benefits the environment but also enhances the overall customer experience, as these compact products are often more convenient and space-saving.

As we navigate the evolving landscape of conscious consumerism, the Compact by Design program serves as a guiding light, empowering customers to make informed choices that contribute to a more sustainable future. By focusing on small yet impactful changes in product design, we can collectively work towards a greener and more efficient world.
