Ten Acres Pharmacy Leads the Way in Sustainable Packaging with

Sacramento, California (April 22, 2025): Ten Acres Pharmacy, 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 waste and champion sustainability in healthcare.

The Problem
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. Plastic pill bottles are not accepted for recycling in most community recycling programs.

The Solution
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 and learn how patients, providers and policymakers can work together to curb plastic pollution.

Event Highlights
Spotlight on sustainability - see how Ten Acres Pharmacy is leading by example with its switch to recyclable bottles.
Innovation in action - learn about Pillumina's aluminum pill bottles and their potential to replace plastic pill bottles that cannot be collected in U.S. household recycling.
Understand the urgent and persistent need for more sustainable legislation in healthcare.

"We are honored to partner with Ten Acres Pharmacy and sustainability champion Dr. Sonya Frausto!," Peter Daheb - Pillumina Co-founder said. "Sonya immediately recognized the positive impact she can have on her community by switching to our infinitely recyclable aluminum pill bottles to replace the plastic bottles with shockingly low 3% recycle rate. She is committed to being part of the solution to help reduce plastic waste by choosing our environmentally friendly pill bottles to promote a healthier planet!"
