The Tully Tubes Paper-Based Pill Bottles Reduce Plastic Waste
Georgia Wray Norsten — February 18, 2025'Tully Tubes' offer a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic pill bottles, addressing the growing issue of medical packaging waste. Made from 100% recyclable paper, these bottles are FDA-approved for use in food and medicine, with a design that ensures durability and safety. While the child-resistant cap remains plastic, it is made from post-consumer recycled material, reducing its environmental impact. This innovation aligns with the broader trend of replacing single-use plastics with eco-friendly alternatives.
Beyond being recyclable, Tully Tubes are engineered for functionality. Their three-layer construction provides resistance to water, humidity, and heat, ensuring the integrity of stored medications. A food-safe, compostable coating further protects against external elements. To simplify disposal, a proprietary pull tab allows users to separate the paper bottle from the plastic cap, making composting and recycling more efficient.
In addition to sustainability, Tully Tubes introduce new customization possibilities. Unlike costly plastic alternatives, the paper-based design allows for printed branding and designs, offering a unique way to enhance consumer engagement while prioritizing environmental responsibility.
