Cooling Comfort, Conscious Choices: Earth Day 2025
Share
At Menopod, we believe that comfort and sustainability go hand in hand.
As we head into Earth Day 2025, we are taking a moment to reflect on the small but meaningful ways we’re working to reduce our environmental impact—through the materials we use, the programs we’ve joined, and the decisions we make every day as a small business.
Leading With Reusability and Refurbishment
When Jessica took over Menopod in 2024, she inherited more than just a product—she stepped into a legacy of care and intentional design.
From the beginning, Menopod was created to be reusable. Today, we are proud to continue that commitment through our refurbished program, which gives gently used units a second life. Each refurbished Menopod is individually tested, cleaned, and repackaged to offer the same cooling relief at 55% off the price of a new unit.
Offering refurbished devices isn’t just about affordability—it’s about reducing waste and making thoughtful use of the resources we already have.
Carbon-Neutral Shipping
Since October 2024, we’ve partnered with Shopify Planet to ensure every Menopod order ships carbon-neutral. So far, we’ve helped remove:
73 kg of carbon from our deliveries, equal to
-
- Charging 9,208 smartphones
- Driving 297 km
- Burning 31 liters of gas
While those numbers may seem small, they represent something bigger: the power of a small business choosing to make a difference.
Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to fund carbon-neutral shipping on every order. We’re just getting started—and excited to see where 2025 takes us.
Choosing Materials That Matter: The Power of Copper
One of the most important design choices in Menopod is our copper cooling plate. Why copper?
✔️ It’s naturally antimicrobial.
✔️ It offers fast, targeted relief.
✔️ It’s incredibly durable, helping to reduce the need for replacements.
Copper is one of the most recycled materials globally, with around 32% of the world's copper demand met through recycling. Its ability to be recycled repeatedly without any loss of performance makes it a sustainable choice for long-lasting products.
On Earth Day, we are proud to highlight this material not just for what it does, but for how it aligns with our mission: to create a product that’s made to last and designed with intention.
Small Business. Big Heart.
We’re not a massive company—and we don’t pretend to be. But what we do have is heart, and a deep commitment to doing things the right way.
We believe that comfort should be accessible, mindful, and sustainable wherever possible. From the materials we choose to the decisions we make as a brand, our goal is always the same: cooling comfort, with intention.
