Recyclable Prescription Bottles

Why aren’t prescription bottles recyclable?

I have lots of meds. It physically pains me to toss the empties in the trash.

Even better question:

Why even have bottles? I’d be fine with zip lock baggies or something. The script details could be printed directly on the bag.

I’d support any innovation to reduce the amount of packaging material. Ditto making that packaging recyclable.

There should be a design competition.
