We’ve gone round in circles about this one too. It seems to go against everything we’ve heard. Plastic = bad. Right?

So when we set about looking into the most sustainable option for packaging Rogue Oat we found time and time again plastic milk bottles came out on top.

Why?

1. Plastic bottles ensure a longer shelf life.
2. Plastic milk bottles have a total lower carbon emissions than the equivalent glass bottle.
Research shows that from a carbon perspective, glass bottles need to be recycled at least 20 times. In practice, most glass bottles only survive being reused 18 times.
3. Plastic bottles need less protection when transported, so vans can transport more in one go.
4. Plastic allows bigger pack sizes, meaning you can get more Rogue Oat in one bottle.
