Glass isn't greener on the udder side, says Creamery

Isle of Man Creamery's been revealing why it won't be making a switch to glass milk bottles.

On its Facebook page, the Cronkbourne-based company responded to calls for it to swap its plastic bottles for glass.

It says the environmental cost of using glass is much higher than plastic - and new plant-based packaging it's considering will have a negative carbon footprint.

The creamery says transporting, sterilising and cleaning glass bottles would have a huge environmental impact as it produces 128,000 units of milk each week.
