AIDEA Microfiber Cleaning Cloths - 100 Pack, Absorbent Towels for House, Kitchen, Car, Window

Focusing on Sustainability: How Small Changes in Product Size and Weight Lead to Lower Carbon Emissions

At Amazon, we created Compact by Design 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.

Here are a few examples of how products can qualify for the Compact by Design certification:

AIDEA Microfiber Cleaning Cloths: These ultra-versatile microfiber cloths are perfect for a variety of cleaning tasks. The soft, non-abrasive material will not scratch surfaces, and the highly absorbent fabric traps dirt and grime effectively. Available in a range of sizes and color options, these cleaning cloths are long-lasting, machine-washable, and fade-resistant.

AIDEA Laundry Detergent Sheets: Compact by Design detergent sheets are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional liquid or powder detergents. By removing excess water, these sheets are more efficient to ship and store, reducing the overall carbon footprint of the product.

AIDEA Compressed Facial Sponges: These natural cellulose sponges are compressed to reduce their size and weight, making them more efficient to package and transport. Once activated with water, the sponges expand to their original size, providing a gentle and effective cleansing experience.

By focusing on sustainability and making small changes to product size and weight, we can significantly reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental responsibility. The Compact by Design initiative is just one way we are working to create a more sustainable future.
