Arla’s new bottles are doing more than being your morning coffee’s best friend—they’re holding a promise to the planet.
Bottles With a Past
Arla has switched its Cravendale and B.O.B. 1-litre bottles, produced at the Stourton site, to post-consumer recycled PET (rPET). This means your milk bottle may have had a former life as a water bottle or other drink container. This bold move eliminates nearly 900 tonnes of virgin fossil plastics from production—a true heavyweight win for the environment.
A Circular Vision
But Arla isn’t stopping here. The company is determined to achieve fully circular packaging, where every bottle can be recycled and reborn again and again. The removal of virgin fossil plastics is part of this vision, as Arla works to make your favourite dairy products more planet-friendly.
The Cap-Off to a Great Idea
These bottles are just the latest milestone in Arla’s packaging journey. Before this announcement, the company revealed the introduction of clear caps for their private label milk bottles.
