OUR IMPACT IN THE WORLD

We pursue sustainability through innovation.

The waste that results from single-use industries, especially the portable personal care world, has largely been ignored. In our lifetime, roughly 9 billion single-use plastic travel bottles and 6 billion silicone travel bottles will end up on beaches. Our goal is to make a dent in that number through thoughtful innovation.

We are a young company – but we don’t take shortcuts. We design durable, modular, reusable systems so that when you switch to Cadence, your footprint gets smaller over time. When design and innovation meet a conscious lifestyle, large-scale change can happen.

How design fights waste.

Quality is a word that gets tossed around a lot. At Cadence, we believe that quality is synonymous with integrity, meaning that everything we create should bring you peace of mind knowing they will last a lifetime.

Personalization is two-fold. It means that we design around you and your needs so that you never have to compromise your lifestyle, routine, or the environment when making the more sustainable choice. It's also the ability to customize, and build a flexible, modular system, so that it can expand and change with you – eliminating the need to toss or replace it.

Cleaning up beaches

Currently, 80% of plastic on the beaches ends up in the ocean. Now, some of it ends up in your Capsules. Our partner, Envision Plastics, collects plastic from beaches around the world by employing local communities – our recent batch of material was collected from the Yucatan and Baja Peninsulas. The ocean-bound plastic then gets processed in California and North Carolina, and currently makes up 20% of a finished Capsule.

Reusing leftover material

Manufacturing can leave leftover “scrap” material that typically gets thrown away. We’re reusing our own scrap by re-grinding it and re-integrating it into our material mix. All of this reprocessed material makes up an additional 30% of a finished Capsule.

Keeping packaging circular

Every single component of our packaging is either recyclable or compostable. Our butter paper packaging is made from cellulose fibers making it both biodegradable and compostable. Our shipping envelopes and boxes are 100% recyclable, you can either compost or recycle the shipping labels.
