Day 2: FRESH OAT MILK IN GLASS!

I am so excited. Today, whilst documenting my waste, both recyclable and not, I felt guilty about the number of tetrapack boxes of Moma oat milk I get through. 

I made the switch to non-dairy milk years ago, and have over time landed on oat milk for its superior flavour, but even more so for its superior sustainability cred (compared to almond, soya, coconut, etc). But even though I’ve cut down my dairy, and try to drink the best of the alternatives, I learned that Moma was bought/ is being bought by AG Barr, a big dairy company that also sells bottled water, which is completely against my values. As I mentioned already I have also never sat comfortably with the many boxes of tetrapack that I waste. 

So today I embarked on some research (to the detriment of all my course reading I need to do!) and found out about Oato – a small UK business making fresh oat milk, using British oats, that they sell in glass bottles via milkmen around the UK! Heart racing (hyperbole) I scanned to see if any of these milkmen deliver to my area…. and YES! Milk and More, a British business keen to bring back the milkmen culture and help people consume more sustainably, and who work with small suppliers with good ethics, take Oato and deliver to Weston.

I will signing up to receive my refillable gladd bottles of fresh oat milk from Monday (I am away this weekend), and I am genuinely so stoked. Thanks, cChallenge! 🙂
