Plant-based Milk Bottles Launched in New Zealand
October 14, 2020| |
Milk in recyclable plant-based bottles are now available in New Zealand.
The milk bottles are made from sugarcane, which is natural, renewable, and sustainably sourced from Brazil. Brazil is one of the biggest producers of sugarcane.
