Milk Packaging Changing in the UK

Monday, February 11th, 2008

From Sustainable Is Good –

Milk packaging in the UK is changing. Supermarket chain Waitrose this week began selling milk in plastic bags called Eco Paks. The new milk packaging was tested in an in-store trial last year and based on consumers positive reaction to the trial the company decided to go ahead with a launch. The supermarket said it will promote the new bags in more than fifty stores across the UK including several in London. The Eco Pak uses 75% less plastic than plastic milk bottles and consumers can buy a reusable jug to pour their milk into.

You know…I seem to recall being able to buy milk in plastic bags like this when I was in my mid-20s and living in Germany…
