With the Milk Inliner, water, cleaning agents and disinfectants can be saved in the catering sector of coffee houses, bakeries or service stations that already use milk in drums. The time savings for the staff who is in charge to clean the drums must also be considered. As a replacement for classical milk cartons, the milk inliner brings further advantages, significant savings on milk packaging and a even a more pleasing appearance at the counter as an add on. The use of one milk inliner only can save the waste of 20 milk cartons. Saving potential: at least partly replacing the 928 billions of hardly recyclable aluminium-paper-plastic milk carton waste with easy-to-recycle polyethylene-film.
Milk is a sensitive product and widely used. Milk is normally sold in commercial 1 liter carton-aluminum-plastic-composite packaging. This packaging is used in all areas like in private households or in commercial use (coffee bars, fast food chains,..). The annual per capita milk consumption worldwide has risen from 95 l to over 116 l in the last 20 years. That means: a lot of packaging waste. Advantages: a) The milk is in a closed container and cannot be contaminated by insects for example. b) The appearance of a milk carton free coffee counter or salesroom looks much more hygienic than one with started, open milk cartons. c) The use of a milk inliner can save the waste of 20 milk cartons. d) There is no need to rinse and disinfect the interior of the milk barrel, thus saving water, detergents and disinfectants and e) The liner is 100% recyclable.
