OUR 1-FOR-1 IMPACT PROMISE
1 POUND OF PLASTIC REMOVED FROM NATURE WITH EACH PURCHASE
“Nature is one of Medicine Box’s Seven Pillars of Wellness - perhaps the most important one of all. We rely on nature to heal us, so it’s up to us humans to return the favor. rePurpose Global’s mission and activity worldwide is an important acknowledgment of humanity’s interdependence with nature and that WE are all stewards of the earth.”
—Brian Chaplin, Founder and Chief Brand Officer, Medicine Box
HOW IT WORKS
-
CALCULATE
We have committed to creating a verifiable, quantifiable, and tangible impact on the environment. But it’s not just us! We are bringing you along on this journey to make sure that every product you purchase means more plastic removed from nature
-
FINANCE
For every product that is purchased, we fund the elimination of 1 pound of plastic waste from the environment through our collaboration with vetted rePurpose Impact Projects that are empowering waste workers to tackle plastic waste in local communities.
-
REDUCE
Pursuing sustainability is a continuous commitment. That’s why we are working with rePurpose Global to develop a roadmap for the future to reduce the use of virgin plastics in our products - and build a more circular business and delivery model.
FOR MEDICINE BOX, NATURE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE OF ALL.
IMPACT THAT UNITES THE WORLD
When we choose to take action on our plastic waste, we create meaningful impact in a world without borders. We fund waste management facilities and empower local communities in geographies without the necessary infrastructure to remove, recover, and recycle plastic waste that would have otherwise remained in the environment for centuries.
SUPERCHARGING SYSTEMIC IMPACT
First, we work with vetted and experienced circular economy and waste management ventures. Next, we fund programs that enable these ventures to scale up plastic waste avoidance, removal, recovery, and recycling efforts. Finally, through thorough due diligence, we ensure adherence to global environmental and labor standards.
It takes an army to fight the ongoing plastic waste crisis, and with rePurpose Global, we are able to create tangible environmental and socio-economic impact. We’re not only helping remove plastic waste from the environment, but we’re also enabling steady livelihoods for forgotten waste workers across the globe.
