Compact by Design

Compact by Design is a sustainability certification by Amazon aimed at identifying products with efficient designs that may not visually differ from others but significantly reduce packaging and shipping inefficiencies. By minimizing excess air and water, products incur less packaging, which in turn contributes to lower carbon emissions due to more efficient shipping processes. This initiative leverages existing product attributes, meaning no application or fee is required for inclusion. Products must be part of specified categories, have unit efficiency below category thresholds, and undergo measurement at fulfillment centers to qualify. It emphasizes accurate dimensions and weight in the Amazon catalog to achieve sustainability goals.
