We believe in

Environmental Circlarity

Our Product Ethos

We believe that sustainability, healthcare, and safety shouldn’t be at odds. By recycling your Tully Tube — the world’s first and only paper prescription pill bottle — you are helping to address the challenge of reducing plastic waste in healthcare.

We also believe in environmental circularity in healthcare. That’s why we source recycled materials for our products, with an eye on reducing carbon emissions and enhancing recyclability.

Finally, we align with the United Nations’ 3R’s Initiative for mitigating all waste, join us!

1.Reduce

We engineered the Tully Tube to use between 33% - 70% less plastic than conventional plastic vials. With Parcel Health’s proprietary and protective paper technology, together, we can drastically reduce plastic pollution with every prescription.

2. Reuse

Patients tell us every day about how they use their empty Tully Tubes for crafts, gardening and more delightfully beautiful uses. Do you? Share your reuse ideas and use #TullyTubeFun! Finding ways to reuse anything instead of contributing to the global waste crisis is what we all can support.  

3. Recycle

When it’s ready to leave your home, the Tully Tube can be recycled in mixed recycling bin or if required by local municipalities, disassembled into separate components for mono-material recycling.
