The Handle Bar for GIBS

The Compact by Design program was created by the manufacturer to focus on sustainability. Small changes in product size and weight can lead to lower carbon emissions. While these products may not always look very different, they have a more efficient design.

By removing excess air and water, 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.

Some of the many ways products can qualify for the Compact by Design initiative include: reducing the amount of packaging material used, optimizing the product's dimensions to minimize wasted space, and using lightweight materials that don't compromise the product's functionality.

The goal of Compact by Design is to identify products that, through subtle design changes, can have a meaningful impact on the environment. These changes may not be immediately visible to the consumer, but they can translate to substantial reductions in the carbon footprint of the product over its lifecycle.

By focusing on sustainability and making small, thoughtful adjustments to product size and weight, the manufacturer is able to offer consumers products that are better for the environment, without compromising quality or functionality. The Compact by Design initiative is a testament to the manufacturer's commitment to environmental stewardship and their belief that even minor design improvements can make a significant difference in the fight against climate change.
