For generations, the clink of glass bottles on the doorstep has been part of British life. Today, Milk & More is keeping that tradition alive, while proving it’s also a powerful solution for a more sustainable future.
That’s why Friends of Glass is proud to recognise them as a Glass Champion.
Milk & More delivers fresh British milk in refillable glass bottles to homes across the UK, alongside eggs, juice and everyday essentials, and all before 7am, with no minimum order and no delivery charge!
Operating from 31 depots and working with over 130 British dairy farmers, the business combines nationwide scale with strong local roots.
At the heart of their model is reuse.
Each year, Milk & More collects, washes and refills more than 55 million returnable glass bottles, keeping packaging in circulation and dramatically reducing waste. This closed-loop system is a perfect example of the circular economy in action—where materials are reused again and again, rather than discarded after a single use.
Glass plays a vital role here. It is durable, safe, and endlessly recyclable without losing quality, but crucially, it can also be reused multiple times before recycling is needed. By prioritising refillable glass over single-use packaging,
Milk & More is helping to cut plastic waste while delivering a product that customers trust.
What sets Milk & More apart is how seamlessly sustainability fits into everyday life. Customers simply return their empty bottles to be collected on the next delivery, making participation effortless. This convenience has helped reintroduce reusable packaging to modern households at scale.
Milk & More is not just reviving a tradition—it is reinventing it for today’s world.
Their commitment to refillable glass, support for British farmers, and ability to make sustainable choices easy for customers make them a standout example of what’s possible.
For these reasons, Friends of Glass is proud to celebrate Milk & More as a true Glass Champion—leading the way towards a more circular future.
