Milk bag

[6][7][8] The consumer public preferred plastic jugs for years, but largely accepted the new containers in parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes in the 1970s.

[12] There has been limited compliance from dairy businesses in buying back consumer plastic as required by the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board.

Due to the price differences, a relationship was observed between the socioeconomic status of the consumer and the type of milk container that they customarily purchased.

[15] Milk bags are also commonly used in Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

[16] In the United Kingdom, Sainsbury's began a pilot experiment on distributing milk in bags in 2008 in conjunction with Dairy Crest.

[18] The product was expanded nationwide in 2010, at which point the bags retailed at a discounted price compared to traditional containers,[19][20] but stopped in early 2015.

[21] DuPont introduced milk bags to American schools in 1989; by 1993 three million pouches a day were being served in 24 states.
