We’re finalists! We are proud to announce that we have been nominated as a finalist in the Innovative Products or Services category of the Premier’s Sustainability Awards 2020 for our Milk In Glass Bottles initiative. The Innovative Products or Services Award category recognises outstanding innovation in products or services that contribute to sustainable outcomes over the past year. Now in its 18th year, the Premier’s Sustainability Awards are Victoria’s most highly recognised annual sustainability awards program comprising 10 categories.
When we kicked off our Milk In Glass initiative, our main goal was to put a dent in the amount of plastic packaging we use. We now deliver over 5000 reusable glass bottles of organic milk weekly, to over 50 retailers Victoria-wide, with a return rate of 95% of bottles refilled and reissued. The initiative has averted 10,068kg of plastic bottles from landfill, as of May 2020 – incredible! This recognition would not be possible without the help of all of our pledgers, Pozible supporters, Contain Design Studio and Swear Words for designing the bottle, loyal Milk In Glass customers and Milk In Glass retailers out there - we wouldn't be here without you and we salute you!
The Victorian Premier’s Sustainability awards are a fantastic way to raise awareness of and celebrate Victorian groups, organisations and businesses who are leading the way to a more sustainable future, and we’re proud to be a part of it. Wish us luck for the announcement of the winners on Wednesday the 16th of December!
