According to the USA's Glass Packaging Institute (GPI), farm fresh milk in glass bottles is making its way back into homes across North America. Several dairies have introduced, or reintroduced, glass bottles for milk and other dairy products to meet consumer demand and environmental objectives. "Packaging milk in glass is an American tradition and a decision that is proven to be healthy for consumers and the environment." said Joseph Cattaneo, GPI President. "Glass is 100% pure, which protects the "farm fresh" taste of milk and is 100% recyclable and reusable." In fact, according to a recent survey, researchers report a trend towards glass packaging as the first choice of consumers who say they care about the environment and their individual and family health. Nearly 60% of consumers believe glass packaging is "best suited to a healthy lifestyle." And while 83.1% of consumers think plastic containers have added chemicals, only 11.9% think glass does.
