There's a reason we deliver our milk in glass, the way milkmen always did. Glass is better for the milk, better for the planet — and part of what makes a doorstep round special.
Glass keeps milk tasting better
Glass is inert: it doesn't impart any flavour or chemicals into the milk, and it keeps out light and odours better than plastic. Cold glass straight from the fridge also keeps milk colder for longer. The result is milk that tastes exactly as it should — clean and fresh.
How our returnable system works
- Your milk arrives in a returnable glass bottle on your round day.
- When it's empty, give it a quick rinse.
- Leave the empties out on your next delivery day.
- We collect, sterilise and refill them — again and again.
A single glass bottle can be reused many times over before it's ever recycled, which dramatically cuts waste compared with single-use plastic.
Less plastic, less waste
- No single-use plastic bottles heading to landfill each week.
- Bottles reused dozens of times, then recycled.
- A shorter, local supply chain — farm to doorstep, with no shops in between.
The milkman's glass bottle was sustainable long before "sustainable" was a buzzword.
Please return your empties
Rinsed bottles left out on your delivery day go straight back into circulation — thank you for helping us keep it a closed loop.
