Glass bottles are way forward as public against plastic these days.
Only thing being not very "green" as all the energy needed for sterilization ,delivery and collection again !

Except it uses far less power than generating new plastic bottles!

Not everyday as per individual business though ?
Once you got your glass bottles you got to refill and sterilize daily .

Is much money in dairy farms selling milk directly to the customer?

"There was a post on here recently where somone has set up or is setting up their own ' Raw Jersey Milk ' farm produced and packaged buisiness. They are not using bottles which are expensive,they are using cartons that are re cyclable. No bottling and capping machines , and true fresh milk . That's the way to do it.
Raw milk is an exceptionally bad idea. Milk should be pasteurised, the general public arnt used to raw milk.

A very sad comment, but true.
I miss raw milk - grew up on a dairy farm with milk straight from the bulk tank and bottled milk doesn’t taste the same so I only really drink it in tea / coffee these days
Child dies from bugs in raw milk....... that headline wont do the industry any favours. Batch pasturisation doesnt alter the taste of the milk.

I'd rather "risk" drinking fresh milk (don't call it raw, it doesn't need to be cooked)
than what's in some dirt cheap "ready meals" or that shyte Iceland "party food" stuff you see advertised a Christmas.
Processors have made milk a bland uniform product with no appeal to customers, when it should have as much individuality as local cheeses.
Beefy, it's not pasturisation that ruins the taste, it's the fact that the greedy Dairies standardise it at 3.5% BF-then moan about low cream prices

I am sorry, but there is no way pasteurisation does not alter the taste.
It was a shock after drinking our own fresh milk for 35 years to buying milk. There is no comparison
Buying from where?
Agree, no way it tastes the same - i loved fresh milk when we had our cows, I don’t think I could drink it now though, just don’t enjoy the taste much of bought milk for me has become just an Ingredient of tea and coffee

I still have muesli drowned in milk for breakfast, but it is not the same sadly.

I hardly dare admit to bottling and selling raw milk on here, apparently I'm trying to kill everyone.
