Sustainability starts with the choices healthcare organizations make at scale. Hospitals, telehealth providers, and veterinary systems choosing alternative packaging can significantly reduce emissions, energy use, and plastic waste. Use Parcel Health’s Impact Calculator to understand the environmental impact of replacing traditional vials with Tully Tubes and see what’s possible when sustainability is built into your packaging decisions.

Because real change happens system by system.

Pharmaceutical packaging is meant to protect medications but some materials may introduce hidden health risks. Additives like UV-328 are commonly used in plastic pill bottles, yet most people never think twice about the packaging used to deliver and store their medications.
Learn why this matters for patient safety and the future of healthcare. Read more on our blog : parcelhealth.co/blog/toxic-additives-in-pharmaceutical-packaging

Sustainability in packaging isn’t just about virgin vs. recycled plastic. Recent research shows recycled plastics are prone to leaching chemicals linked to hormone disruption and other health concerns. Recycling is essential, but it should never come at the expense of patient or consumer safety especially for medications and health products.
The good news: there are solutions that allow us to meet our needs without relying as heavily on single-use plastics. Switching to new alternatives, like our Tully Tube, makes a difference.

The amber pill bottles we see every day? They became the default not because they were the best option, but because they met early regulatory and operational needs, and were never meaningfully re-evaluated.
At scale, default systems that rely entirely on single-use plastics create real impact on human health and the environment. We’re here to design a more thoughtful approach to pharmaceutical packaging, one that works better for people and the planet.

We often keep medications in the bathroom because it feels private and fits into our daily routines. But heat and humidity can quietly reduce how well medications work over time. Choosing a cool, dry place you see every day makes safer storage part of your lifestyle.

Check out our Tully Tube at www.parcelhealth.co/shop that is designed to make safe storage feel discreet and intentional.

On the 12th of Jan, we celebrate National Pharmacist Day by recognizing the people who truly understand what pharmacists need—starting with our own co-founder, Melinda.

As a pharmacist herself, Melinda has firsthand experience with the challenges and responsibilities that come with patient care. That insight is what helped inspire Parcel Health, built to empower pharmacists to create real impact with every prescription filled, impact on patients, on safety, and on the environment, not plastic.

We’re proud to be founded by a pharmacist who understands the profession deeply and is committed to making meaningful change, one small, thoughtful improvement at a time.

Thank you to Melinda, and to all pharmacists, for the expertise, care, and impact you bring to healthcare every day.

We’re excited to spotlight as our Partner of the Month 🤝 Mixwell Pharmacy shares our commitment to thoughtful, patient-centered care, and together, we’re redefining how medication is packaged and experienced. Through our collaboration, the Pet Print Tully Tube supports tailored pharmacy solutions while prioritizing durability, clarity, and responsible material choices.

The distinctive pet print design makes it easy for families to differentiate their pets’ prescriptions from medications meant for other household members—adding an important layer of safety and convenience to everyday care. Partnerships like this remind us that meaningful innovation in healthcare happens when values align and real-world needs are thoughtfully addressed.
