And by better packaging we of course mean packaged the traditional way &#8211; in glass bottles.<\/p>\n<p>With consumers constantly on demand for locally sourced, good quality produce; we think that glass bottles are the perfect way to showcase a premium product from our very own British milk farmers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-752 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/08\/Untitled-design-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"971\" height=\"547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/08\/Untitled-design-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/08\/Untitled-design-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/08\/Untitled-design.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 971px) 100vw, 971px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Those of you who are lucky enough to still have milk delivered in glass bottles to your doorstep will know; there\u2019s nothing quite like it. Glass keeps milk fresh, cooler and taint-free. Glass is 100% recyclable and of course, endlessly reusable. It acts as a natural barrier against bacteria, as it\u2019s virtually impermeable to oxygen, thus keeping milk full of its natural vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, unlike paper cartons or plastic, glass needs no additional chemical layer so there\u2019s no danger of chemicals leaching into the milk.<\/p>\n<p>Busy mum of two Alice Cooper says: \u201cWe get through gallons of milk but fortunately it\u2019s all delivered to our doorstep in glass bottles every day by our local dairy.\u201d Alice loves taking her children, Samuel (6) and Amy (3), to the dairy farm to see the cows getting milked. \u201cIt\u2019s great that they can see directly where it comes from and I can also teach them about reuse and recycling too when we return the empty bottles, ready to be used again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So whether you\u2019re a dairy farmer, a supermarket owner or just someone like Alice and her family who love the taste of cool, fresh milk, we hope you too can enjoy milk presented as it should be \u2013 in a glass bottle.<\/p>\n<p>Have your say &#8211; would you prefer to buy your milk packaged in a glass bottle??<\/p>\n\r\n            <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An insight into the wonderful combination of fresh milk and glass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":752,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-taste"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Glass and Milk - the Perfect Partnership - Friends of Glass UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"An insight into the wonderful combination of fresh milk and glass.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/stories\/glass-and-milk-the-perfect-partnership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Glass and Milk - the Perfect Partnership - Friends of Glass UK\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"An insight into the wonderful combination of fresh milk and glass.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/stories\/glass-and-milk-the-perfect-partnership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Friends of Glass UK\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-08-21T13:43:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-08-18T13:50:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/08\/Untitled-design.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"576\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/stories\/glass-and-milk-the-perfect-partnership\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/stories\/glass-and-milk-the-perfect-partnership\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/friendsofglass.com\/uk\/#\/schema\/person\/020c8f935e53b78218b548c299c31daf\"},\"headline\":\"Glass and Milk &#8211;
