Ten Acres Pharmacy, Pillumina to Be Joined by National Stewardship Action Council in Celebrating Earth Day Launch
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Californer -- Ten Acres Pharmacy (https://tenacrespharmacy.com), owned by sustainability advocate Dr. Sonya Frausto, is pioneering a new era of environmentally responsible pharmaceutical services. As the first pharmacy in Sacramento to adopt Pillumina's durable and 100% recyclable aluminum bottles, Ten Acres is setting a bold example for how other local businesses can reduce plastic waste and champion sustainability in healthcare.
Last year, over 7 billion prescriptions were dispensed in the U.S. — yet only 3% of plastic pill bottles were recycled. That means that more than 6.8 billion ended up in landfills or incinerators. It's time for a change. Pillumina, a Bay Area-based innovator in sustainable healthcare packaging, is transforming the pharmaceutical industry with aluminum pill bottles that are infinitely recyclable. This Earth Week, Pillumina and Ten Acres Pharmacy are joining forces to raise awareness and inspire action toward more sustainable practices in healthcare and showcasing a tangible solution to the pervasive issue of single-use plastic waste.
Earth Day Celebration Event
The public is invited to celebrate Ten Acres Pharmacy's groundbreaking switch to sustainable packaging alongside Pillumina and the National Stewardship Action Council (https://www.nsaction.us/), a driving force for a responsible circular economy in California and across the U.S.
