How Cabinet Health Aims to Rid Your Medicine Cabinet of Single-Use Plastic

Published

If you open up your bathroom cabinet—or someone else’s if you’re over for a party and snooping—you’re probably going to find single-use plastic bottle after single-use plastic bottle. Plastic is the norm in the pharmaceutical industry since it’s inexpensive, waterproof, and will keep those pills safe and effective. Last year, the pharmaceuticals plastic bottle market was valued at $8.08 billion, and it’s only expected to grow.

Of course, that’s not if the sustainable healthcare company Cabinet Health has anything to say about it.

Cabinet wants to change the way the pharmaceutical industry works. No more boring ibuprofen bottles and no more amber prescription bottles in your medicine cupboard or recycling bin. They’ve innovated to create something that’s practical, pretty, and helps out Mother Earth.
