ABOUT

Every year, billions of plastic pill bottles end up in landfills & dumps. Because small bottles can’t be recycled, they become toxic waste that devastates our natural ecosystem.

Introducing the Prescription Paper Pill Bottle.
• No plastic. No artificial glue and coatings. No toxic dye
• It meets FDA requirements for water, light, and child resistance
• Once emptied, it can be composted to enrich soil giving back to the earth

When patients pick up their prescriptions, pharmacists can provide a sustainable container to hold medications that can be reused. And won’t harm the environment once it’s discarded.

The result of 12-months of research, design, development, testing, & redesign, the paper bottle is made by hand or machine with die-cutting, folding, & scoring. Eliminates plastic polymers used for fittings to secure caps. And replaces toxic glues with eco-friendly beeswax adhesives & coatings.

Made in partnership with TOM, Tikkun Olam Makers, the global maker group dedicated to creating affordable solutions for neglected problems, the paper pill bottle has an open-sourced design available to any pharmacy. And produced bottles have been distributed to local pharmacies for trial.

Supported by postings in social media, online films, and outdoor posters, the campaign targeted independent pharmacies and manufacturers of sustainable packaging.

Medicine that’s good for a patient’s health now comes in packaging that’s 100% compostable. And that’s good for the planet.
