As you know, we are always on the lookout for new ideas and partners to help us on our sustainability journey.
And we have some exciting news to share!
This month we partnered with legendary Tassie company, The Udder Way, to deliver our Organic Full Cream and Low Fat Milk direct to customers, taking another step towards our mission to eliminate single-use plastic milk bottles from our business, and your lives!
Australian designed and made, The Udder Way Keg System is a convenient and reusable milk storage and handling unit designed for food service and retail. Each unit holds 18L of milk, and allows for refrigerated storage and dispensing of milk from an installed tap ensuring fresh and free-flowing milk, without the waste and clutter involved with conventional single-use plastic bottles and crates.
We are currently the sole milk supplier to food service and retailers using The Udder Way Keg System across Victoria.
You will be able to visit retailers such as The Leaf Store in Elwood or Hawthorn and pour your own organic milk from a purpose built retail dispensing unit, using our 1L Milk in Glass bottles. Participating cafés will also have the convenience of organic milk on tap, with direct access to fresh, free-flowing milk for lattes, cappuccinos, milkshakes and more.

Partnering with The Udder Way is one of many steps in our sustainability journey, says our boss Simon.
“Since introducing Milk in Glass three years ago we have diverted approximately 26.9 tonnes of plastic from landfill. Limiting plastic waste isn’t cheap or easy but we know there is a lot of support out there for sustainable processes and packaging.”
“Collaborating with innovative businesses like The Udder Way takes us another step closer to eliminating single-use plastics and fulfilling our sustainability goals.”
The Udder Way Keg was created by Tassie café owner Ed Crick, who developed the system out of a frustration that over 500 million single-use plastic bottles are used every year, with less than half being recycled.
“We have partnered with Schulz Organic Dairy because we share a similar vision and mission. Each of our Kegs eliminates the need for 7,000 single-use plastic bottles over an 8-10 year lifespan before being recycled.”
“We are thrilled to announce, due to our partnership with Schulz Organic Dairy, we now have enough Kegs in rotation that sets a cycle in place to eliminate the use of one million single-use plastic bottles each year, for the next 8-10 years,” says Ed.
