Hello everyone From my childhood I can remember that we used to always have milk in a plastic bag. (90's kid) Why is that no longer the case today? It would cause much less waste than the Tetrapacks.

Because they burst all the time, ask your parents 😒 In the 70s, milk and fruit juices were available in the form https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.allmystery.de%2Fdateien%2Fuh58533%2C1273605005%2Csunkist2_DW_Vermisc_743252g.jpg%3Fbc&f=1&nofb=1
And they are almost impossible to close. Reusable is the magic word. But nobody wants that any more, so we continue to use waste-producing packaging. In the past, you went shopping for fresh milk and bread and butter almost every day, so the bag was OK. One or two tubes, but if you only go twice a week... OK for a single household, that might still work.

I don't want to have to experience the milk tubes any more 😒 but what I would like 😎 would be if the 70s "mountain top tetrapacks* came as retro 😍↵↵↵↵...I think that's completely wrong https://www.suedostschweiz.ch/aus-dem-leben/2020-04-12/in-den-laeden-fehlt-die-milch-die-bauern-muessen-sie-wegschuetten 😢 😒 😡 🤬

Yes, absolutely. But the packaging industry has improved over the last 30 years. Maybe there's a good in-between. I always notice how these tetra packs fill up my fridge unnecessarily quickly 😒

I don't know what problems you have... I haven't bought milk in tetrapacks for over 20 years. Since the bottles have been around, even past milk no longer turns sour 5 days after opening. I certainly wouldn't cry a tear for the tubes.

//I always notice how these Tetrapacks fill up my fridge unnecessarily quickly// @TheUfffi I would try flattening the packs ;) And then there are the 2l M-Budget Tetras - double the amount of milk with only slightly more packaging
Yes, I still know these bags from the old days, which also included the "plastic dispensing container", but no, I don't mourn the milk bag at all. I prefer to keep the milk sealed in the fridge. If... then I'd rather have a "glass bottle" like the milkman did back then :-) I also remember the milk kettle and getting fresh milk every day or every 2 days, today my small single built-in fridge is much too small for that.

Tetrapacks can also be collected at many large collection and disposal centers. But apart from the fact that there is less in the bin bag, I have serious doubts about the ecology of recycling ...

Are you sure that reusable bottles have a better energy balance? Keywords such as empty transportation, high-temperature water for sterile cleaning, production of the glass bottle as such. I wouldn't be absolutely sure - but consumers feel better (I'm saving the environment) so it's certainly in the minds of product strategists ...

Hello everyone, I would prefer milk in glass bottles anyway and put a deposit on them. Firstly, the milk doesn't absorb any unpleasant odors and secondly, milk from a glass carafe tastes much better and it's also good for the environment. LG
