About Cabinet Health:
Cabinet Health is a sustainable healthcare company that makes and sells the world’s first refillable medicine system for over-the-counter medicines and supplements in pursuit of their mission to eliminate single-use plastic in medicine.
Why we love them:
I love Cabinet Health because beyond being a certified B Corp, which is an incredible feat in and of itself, they managed to completely innovate the world of OTC medications that’s held pretty stagnant since I can remember. They also play a big role in the education of microplastics, and the toll they can take on our health. There are over 194 billion plastic medicine bottles produced every year, with around 90% of them ending up in our oceans, landfills, and air supply, which eventually break into microplastic, and end up in our bodies! The creation of Cabinet’s compostable medicine pouches was the first application of compostable materials for OTC medicines. Since their launch, they have offset 4.2 tons of CO2 carbon emissions, and continue to track multiple important metrics to make sure they’re doing their part. Plus, their bottles are completely refillable and stackable, so you can save room in your medicine cabinet and avoid the ugly white bottles!
