"The sound of the bottles clattering in the milk truck and milk delivered to letterboxes in glass used to be a thing of the past.

But one Nelson company has brought it all back helping to divert an estimated six tonnes of plastic bottles from landfill this year alone.

Milk producers Oaklands Milk and milkman Milk & More Nelson have been delivering glass bottled milk to businesses and homes around the top of the south since last April.

The glass bottles are able to be collected and re-used like the good old days.

Oaklands Milk farmer Julian Raine estimated he was selling 1800 litres of milk in glass a day. This included home and business deliveries in re-useable glass bottles and people buying direct from his vending machines.

He believed consumers buying his milk in glass had saved over half a million plastic bottles going into landfill just in 2017."
