Carbonell Extra Virgin Spanish Olive Oil (2 Litre)

Compact by Design is an initiative we have created to identify products that, despite not always appearing visibly different, feature more efficient designs. Through the removal of excess air and water, these products require less packaging, thereby becoming more efficient to ship. At scale, these minor differences in product size and weight culminate in significant reductions in carbon emissions.

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

The key is that, while the outward appearance of these products may not always vary greatly, the underlying design optimizations result in meaningful environmental benefits. By reducing the amount of excess materials, the overall packaging and shipping footprint is minimized, which translates to lower carbon emissions.

This holistic approach to product design and logistics represents an important step towards more sustainable consumption. Even incremental improvements in size and weight can accumulate to make a significant impact when scaled across millions of product units. The Compact by Design initiative is designed to identify and highlight these environmentally-conscious design choices.

The objective is to empower consumers to make informed decisions that support more sustainable product options, without requiring drastic changes in their buying behavior. By making minor yet impactful adjustments to the physical attributes of products, manufacturers can deliver the same functionality with a reduced environmental toll.

Sustainability is a complex challenge that requires multifaceted solutions. Compact by Design demonstrates that even small design optimizations can contribute meaningfully to lowering carbon emissions and minimizing the overall ecological footprint of consumer products. As consumers increasingly prioritize sustainability, initiatives like this will play a crucial role in driving positive change throughout supply chains and manufacturing processes.
