Parcel Health, a pharmaceutical packaging company that is devoted to the protection of people and the preservation of the planet, invented a prescription medication bottle on paper.
According to Yanko Design, the new prescription bottles, which are called Tully Tubes, consist mainly of 100% sustainable paper.
According to cabinet health, around 194 billion bottles are used every year. Most are not recycled. Instead, they go to landfills, where they contribute to air, water and soil pollution.
The new approach of Parcel Health to prescribing bottles uses a paper base made of certified paper, sustainable paper and recyclable materials for the road edges. It is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and is the first of its kind to be approved for use in the pharmaceutical industry.
Of course, a thin paper bottle for important medications is not acceptable. That is why Tully tubes are resistant to water, air humidity and warmth. They use a three -layer construction to protect the bottle content from the elements, while a food and compostable coating further protect pills from water.
The child -safe bottle caps are made of recycled plastic according to the consumer. The bottle cap and the seal can easily be separated from the paper base, which can easily recycle the plastic parts and compost the paper.
These bottles are also more customizable for companies, as it is more affordable to expand paper of entertaining designs than plastic.
Tully tubes do as well as plastic bottles, but do not strain the environment as much. The use of recycled plastic gives this material a second life and keeps it from landfills. The replacement of the plastic body with paper essentially cuts plastic waste – means less dirty fuel breakdown for the creation of plastic, a process that contributes significantly to air and water pollution.
All of these factors mean that pharmaceutical industry continues to serve consumers and at the same time reduce the possibilities for microplastics to get air, air and soil, which contributes to improving our health.
Environmentally friendly initiatives such as brands can drastically reduce pollution, contain the overheating of the planet and reduce the presence of harmful contamination.
