Focusing on Sustainability: How Small Changes in Product Design Lead to Reduced Carbon Emissions

At FEBU, we have created the Compact by Design initiative to identify products that, while may not appear visually different, have a more efficient design. By removing excess air and water, these products require less packaging and become more efficient to ship. When scaled, these small differences in product size and weight can lead to significant reductions in carbon emissions.

Here are a few ways FEBU products can qualify for the Compact by Design program:

✨ EASY, EFFECTIVE CLEANING — Our 8"x7" Swedish dishcloths are strong enough to scrub, yet gentle enough to wipe any surface, saying goodbye to wasteful cleaning supplies.

🧼 WASHABLE & REUSABLE — FEBU's Swedish sponge cloths are a sustainable kitchen solution. Reusable up to 50 washes, each washable Swedish cloth can replace 17 rolls of paper towels, totaling 85 rolls replaced per pack!

💧 ABSORBENT & MULTIPURPOSE — Clean up messes with ease using our highly absorbent Swedish dishcloths. These versatile Swedish towels absorb up to 20x their weight, making them perfect for any kitchen task.

🌱 100% BIODEGRADABLE — Our Swedish cleaning towels are 100% biodegradable, vegan, and chem-free, made of 30% cotton and 70% cellulose, and compost in 6-8 weeks.

🗽 BASED IN THE USA – Designed with care on American soil, our USA based brand demonstrates our dedication to domestic industries. By choosing our Swedish cloths, you're backing local craftsmanship.

The small changes in product size and weight of FEBU's Compact by Design items lead to lower carbon emissions during shipping and transportation. By identifying and promoting these efficient product designs, we aim to contribute to a more sustainable future.
