According to the Guardian, the company's product a2 will be sold in 100% recyclable packaging with FSC (Forest stewardship Council).

The first batch of products in a new package has appeared on the shelves of British supermarkets today.

In the UK, used daily 38.5 million plastic bottles, of which 15 million are not processed. The plastic packaging is standard for dairy products sold in the country.

It should be noted that plastic wastes have become a very emotional national issue discussed at the massive television and in the media.

This has led to an increased consumption of milk in glass containers, although the proportion of packaging throughout the country remains small - approximately 3%.

According to polls, 25% of consumers expressed "extreme concern" over the plastic, and 21% say the industry should go even further and stop using any plastic containers.

The brand a2 Milk is growing in the UK (he has a 10% market share in Australia and is the largest in the USA) and became popular among consumers who suffer from adverse reactions to conventional milk. Raw materials for processing, the company supplies a number of farms in the Shropshire, Cheshire and North Wales. They produce milk containing only the A2 type of the protein beta-casein, without protein A1 present in ordinary milk, which, according to some people, is harmful.

"Very impressive is the fact that a relatively small brand in the dairy industry was the first who made the transition from plastic bottles to cartons," said Rosie Teasdale of the Council on forest management in the UK. - "If all the milk supplied in plastic in the UK became available in cardboard, we could significantly reduce the use of plastic."

"The company a2 Milk has always been a pioneer, and the introduction of cardboard boxes in the UK market is another step that we made first," said Simon Hennessey, Director General for international development 2 Milk.
