PITTSBURGH — Parcel Health, the award-winning leader in sustainable pharmaceutical packaging, announces the launch of Tully Tube, the world’s first paper-based, child-resistant prescription pill bottle. As part of Parcel Health’s vision to protect people and preserve the planet, the company aims to displace 1 million plastic pill vials by mid-2025 with its safer parcels.
Since its first shipment on August 30, Parcel Health, a women-founded and led company, has already prevented more than 150,000 plastic pill vials from entering the waste stream—an important step in addressing the global plastic waste crisis.
Answering the question, "What does pharmacy packaging look like in 20 years?" Dr. Kyle McCormick, owner of Blueberry Pharmacy, said, "Unlikely plastic. So it makes sense to stay ahead. We have tried several alternatives and Tully Tube is the one patients like the best, hands down. It also helps that it is beautifully designed.”
