Earth Day feels especially meaningful when your work drives measurable results.
We’re proud to share that health systems reduce plastic waste from pharmaceutical bottles by up to 73% just by switching to the Tully Tube. Our work helps our partners back up their own sustainability commitments with quantifiable progress towards a world with lower emissions and less plastic waste.
As we seek to eliminate plastics from healthcare packaging everywhere we can, we’re starting with the Tully Tube, the world’s first paper prescription bottle. Americans fill 6.8 billion prescriptions a year, almost every one in the same amber plastic bottle introduced in 1968 — and fewer than 1% get recycled.
We created the Tully Tube to solve this problem and begin to prove that pharmaceutical packaging does not need to come with such significant tradeoffs for the planet. We’re grateful to see how quickly and eagerly it’s been adopted. The industry is ready for change.
To every health system, telemedicine brand, retail pharmacy, and veterinary practice that has already chosen to make the switch to the Tully Tube: thank you. The bottle is just the beginning.
