The details matter. So do the people behind them. 💚

This week, we recognize Pharmacy Technician Day and National Check Your Meds Day.

To the technicians keeping pharmacy work moving: thank you. 💚

We also thank the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) and the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) for raising awareness, sharing resources, and encouraging participation in patient education.

Arrange a medication review with your pharmacist. Include prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements, and bring the questions you’ve been meaning to ask.

Sustainability comes in different sizes. ♻️

Alongside our smaller vials, Pillumina’s 165 cc and 220 cc sizes are designed for larger capsules, including size 0 and larger, and 90-day or 120-day supplies, depending on medication size and quantity.

More size options. The same commitment to reducing single-use plastic through recyclable aluminum packaging.

Every conversation is an opportunity to care. 🎀

This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we recognize the people affected by breast cancer, their loved ones, and the healthcare professionals who support them.

For pharmacy teams, care can mean making time for a question, listening to a concern, or helping someone find the right support.

At Pillumina, we’re proud to be part of a pharmacy community that puts people first.

This October, make space for conversations. Let people know they have support. 💕

Your expertise matters. Your care makes a difference. 💚

This World Pharmacists Day, September 25, Pillumina celebrates the pharmacists who explain, reassure, and support their communities every day.

We join FIP in recognizing this year’s theme: “Empowering pharmacists for healthier futures.”

Thank you for putting patients first and helping shape the future of pharmacy. 🌱

Prescription packaging waste is an important - and often overlooked - part of community pharmacy operations.

Join Pillumina Co-Founder and CEO Peter Daheb on September 1 for an NCPA Foundation continuing education webinar examining packaging waste, the current microplastics evidence, and practical stewardship options for independent pharmacies.

Attendees will also learn how to evaluate sustainability claims and develop a measured, low-risk pilot for their stores.

A new study published in the European Heart Journal detected micro- and nanoplastics in the blood of 84% of patients experiencing a serious heart attack. 🫀

For comparison they were detected in:

🔴 84% of patients experiencing a heart attack
🟠 40% of patients with chronic ischemic heart disease
🟢 32% of patients with normal coronary arteries

The research does not prove that microplastics cause heart attacks, but it adds to a growing body of evidence examining the connection between plastic exposure and cardiovascular health.

🌎 Plastic pollution is no longer only an environmental issue.

🫀 It’s becoming a human health crisis.

At Pillumina, we believe healthcare packaging should be part of that conversation too.

♻️ It’s time to rethink our dependence on single-use plastic and work toward a healthier, more circular future for healthcare.

A recycling symbol should reflect what happens in the real world, not what is only theoretically possible ♻

A federal judge has temporarily blocked enforcement of California’s SB 343, a law designed to limit misleading recycling claims.

This matters in healthcare. Amber plastic prescription vials often display recycling numbers, even though the EPA says they are not recyclable in most areas of the United States.

The result is consumer confusion, and more plastic sent to landfills.

That is why we created an aluminum alternative to conventional single-use plastic prescription packaging.

No confusion, no greenwashing, just clean innovation for human and planet health. 🌍✨

🏥 Pharmacy Myth Monday

❌ MYTH: Sustainable packaging isn’t durable.

✅ FACT: Choosing a more sustainable packaging solution doesn’t mean compromising on performance. Pillumina aluminum prescription vials are engineered to meet the everyday demands of pharmacies while supporting a more sustainable future.

Did you know aluminum’s carbon cost actually decreases every time it’s recycled? 📉♻️

Unlike plastic, which builds up emissions over time, or paper, which requires new trees for every cycle, recycled aluminum drops down to ~0.5 kg CO₂/kg up to 24x lower than primary production!

For pharmacies and healthcare brands tracking ESG goals, switching to Pillumina creates real, measurable change:

🌱 1,000 Rx/month = 870 kg CO₂ saved/year

🌱 5,000 Rx/month = 4.4 tonnes CO₂ saved/year

🌱 10,000 Rx/month = 8.7 tonnes CO₂ saved/year

Same workflow. Standard labels. Zero plastic waste.
