Microplastics Are Everywhere, But Startup Keeps it Away From Medication
The push to reduce plastic consumption was historically touted primarily as an environmental benefit but, in recent years, more evidence shows that the material frequently leaks into our bodies via food packaging, cosmetics and even air pollution.

She is a leading voice in circular economy policy and Founding Director of the National Stewardship Action Council. She gets it: innovation is the way forward, and that means saying goodbye to problem plastics in pharmaceutical packaging. Pillumina bottles are designed to do just that. 100% recyclable aluminum today. Refillable solutions on the horizon.
We’re incredibly proud to have the support of Heidi Sanborn

Researchers have found microplastics in our lungs, bloodstreams, and even placentas. These tiny fragments can carry toxic chemicals, disrupt hormones, and trigger inflammation. This isn’t just about protecting the planet - it’s about protecting ourselves. The health of the Earth and the health of our bodies are deeply connected. It's time we reimagine the role of plastic in our lives — especially in everyday essentials like pill bottles. Follow us @pilluminainc to learn more about the plastic revolution
We’ve all heard about microplastics polluting our oceans — but they’re also showing up in our bodies

Unlike plastic, which degrades after each cycle, aluminum can be recycled endlessly without losing its integrity. That’s why Pillumina bottles are made from 100% aluminum, to reduce plastic waste, support a circular economy, and deliver a safer, cleaner alternative for prescription packaging. A small change that adds up to a huge difference
Recyclable doesn’t always mean recycled, but aluminum is different
