The environmental problems associated with our daily use of plastic has been highlighted recently in the news and people are looking for ways to cut down their usage of plastic where possible.
Bates Farms and Dairy LTD have in place a sustainable and long-term solution to one of those problems. The plastic milk bottle. This solution is by no means a new technological advance, it is simply the humble and much-loved glass pint of milk.
Bates Farms and Dairy LTD have been providing a doorstep delivery service for 79 years and now has the third generation of Bates’ at the helm and they are always looking to push the company’s values of supporting local farmers, providing a reliable service and offering a sustainable packaging option.
The dairy employs 95 people from your our local community and as a dairy we are keen to keep the traditional doorstep delivery service going for generations to come. Our milk is sourced locally within a 20-mile radius of the dairy. Please got to our website to meet some of our fantastic producers (www.batesdairy.co.uk).
The average glass milk bottle will do 30 trips to a doorstep during it’s lifetime meaning that one glass bottle is the equivalent to 8 of the big plastic milk bottles and cuts down significantly on the waste that needs to be dealt with. It also lightens the load from the supermarket back to your house!
The whole process from cow to doorstep takes less than 48 hours meaning not only are you getting a sustainable and locally sourced product but you are also getting your milk as fresh as can be.
Anybody interested in milk deliveries in environmentally friendly glass bottles delivered by our fleet of battery powered milk floats can get in touch with us on the contact details below.
Why not start deliveries today and do your bit to reduce plastic use. If you do then don’t forget to rinse and return as each journey the glass bottle does is one less piece of plastic!
