compactible
Able to compress
Compactible describes something that can be compacted—compressed, condensed, or made more dense.
The word appears in technical contexts: compactible soil, compactible waste.
It overlaps with compressible but emphasizes reduction to a smaller, denser form rather than mere squeezing.
Also spelled compactable.
