Glass dairy containersare good for the environment because glass is one of the most recyclable materials you can use. And milk just tastes better when it's in glass!
Here’s 5 reasons to choose glass when you buy milk:
- Milk Bottles Contain Farm Fresh Milk
Often milk travels great distances before it gets processed into the final product. Unlike milk in glass bottles, which comes from local farms and can be from the cow to your table in as little as 24 hours. This quick turnaroundgreatly increases the shelf life. Milk in glass bottles is left closer to its original state than milk in other packaging. Due to the less processed nature of the milk, more enzymes remain. This makes iteasier to digest, and many people with milk intolerances can drink milk in glass bottles.
- Milk Bottles Stay Colder
Glass bottles keep milk cold longer. Colder milk is tastier milk.
- Milk Bottles Are Eco Friendly
Glass dairy containersare good for the environment because glass is one of the most recyclable materials you can use. It’s actually 100% recyclable and it can be recycled endlessly – without loss in quality or purity – into new glass bottles or jars. Additionally, the more recycled glass we use to make new glass, theless raw materialsthe industry needs to use to produce glass.
- Milk Bottles Make Milk Tastes Better
Glass bottles don’t transfer a foreign scent and taste into the milk, the way paper or plastic containers do. Drinking milk from glass bottles is the only way to get that delicioustrue milk taste. The tastier the milk, the more likelykids will drink it. Which is a win for parents everywhere.
85% of Europeans would recommend glass packaging to their friends and family. You should, too.
