DISTRIBUTION CONSIDERATIONS
27. Minimum Product Volume and Weight
Products that are compact and lightweight after packaging require less material and consume less energy in transportation, supporting ecological sustainability. This efficiency also lowers costs, enhancing economic sustainability. Designs that incorporate nesting, knockdown, modular, or folding configurations reduce distribution volumes, while carefully considered construction and dimensional planning can eliminate the need for over-sizing. We include all of these aspects at the design stage itself.
28. Minimum and Clean Transport
While all transport consumes energy, some modes—such as rail and sea—are inherently less impactful than air or road. Wherever possible, we prioritise these options and minimise transport distances overall. Reducing movement lowers emissions and costs, supporting both ecological and economic sustainability.
29. Local Production to Consumption Systems
We favour production and distribution systems that remain geographically close. Localised supply chains are simpler, more efficient, and require less packaging and long-distance transport. By keeping production rooted near consumption, we support local livelihoods while strengthening ecological, social, and economic sustainability.
30. Minimum Packaging
Packaging must protect the product and enhance its presentation—but excess serves neither purpose. Through careful design, we minimise packaging or remove it altogether where possible. Lean packaging solutions reduce material use, energy consumption, and waste, while maintaining a refined unboxing experience.
31. Reusable Packaging
Reusable packaging reduces the need for new material inputs and supports a culture of mindful consumption. Wherever possible, we reuse transport packaging within our operations, extending its life and reducing unnecessary waste.
32. Recyclable Packaging
We prioritise packaging made from recyclable that can re-enter the material cycle at end of life. Paper is favoured wherever possible, as it is widely accepted, efficiently recycled, and retains material value—supporting both ecological and economic sustainability.
33. Packaging Made From Low Impact Materials
Our packaging is designed using low-impact, non-toxic materials that are ozone-friendly and free from harmful emissions. We continually assess and refine our packaging systems, seeking better alternatives as materials and technologies evolve.
