This is a great idea and follows many of the behaviours found around the world for refilling existing containers rather than starting anew each time.

Can you make an air-tight recyclable paper box? So that humidity/etc doesn't get in the pills

Probably wouldn't work, since a lot of people get refills
before
they run out. Maybe glass bottles, or bottles made of paper like those insufferable paper straws?
