Medicine cabinets are one of the last places people think of when they make sustainable changes and transition to a plastic-free lifestyle. And, let’s be real — most companies don’t make it easy to choose eco-friendly health and wellness products, opting instead for single-use containers made from unsustainable plastic.

We met up with the founder of one of these companies, Russell Gong of Cabinet Health, to get the down-low on creating an eco-friendly medicine cabinet — plus some top-shelf tips for a smooth transition.
