Milk used to be delivered on electric milk 'float' vehicles in the UK in glass pint bottles. The milkman left pints of milk sealed with a foil top and took the used bottles left for them by the customer.
I used to watch the bottles being washed and sterilized on a conveyor through the factory window as a small child.
Today we have Tetrapak waxed paper boxed milk or plastic jugs. the Tetrapak website is classic wooly green washing https://www.tetrapak.com/us/sustainability/carton-recycling
Plastic jugs are already being discussed here. How on earth did we get to this low point?
