Milk bags make environmental sense. Sure the plastic may or may not be recyclable, but the bags are so much lighter than glass, and a little lighter than cardboard, as well as being more efficient with space -- it's saves on transportation CO2 in so many ways.
As well, unlike Tetrapak, empty bags don't have to be cut up or compressed. They just naturally take up so little space.
We really should ship more liquids in bags.
- timbit42 3y agoThere is also less plastic in milk bags than plastic jugs. Cartons also have plastic on both the inside and outside to make them waterproof. I think the cartons have less plastic than the bags but it is harder to recycle either the cardboard or the plastic because they are fused together.
