The healthcare industry, especially in pharmaceuticals, generates a significant amount of global CO2 emissions. An example of the industry’s impact is through the billions of single-use, amber vials that stock the shelves of every pharmacy across the United States.
Parcel Health, a women-founded sustainable medication packaging startup located in Pittsburgh, PA, has set its eye on minimizing pharmaceutical packaging waste, starting with its first product, a pill bottle replacement called the Phill Box™.
