Hold on, what about material handling? Imagine trying to move around those ultra-dense laundry products. They'll need some serious machinery upgrades for that.

I'm going with product design. That's where the real magic happens. Plus, if they nail the formulation, the rest should fall into place.

I agree, if they can optimize the product design, it will have a ripple effect on the rest of the process.

Ha! I bet the transportation mode selection is going to be a real headache. Can you imagine trying to ship those super-concentrated liquid laundry products? Talk about a logistical nightmare!

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Packaging could be a good focus area too. They might need to rethink the container sizes and materials to accommodate the reduced water content.

But what about packaging? Wouldn't reducing packaging also help in saving water?

The product design seems like the obvious choice here. Reducing the water content by half will likely require significant adjustments to the formulation and manufacturing process.
