Aside from being thinner, it’s still plastic waste being discarded, and they’re now making separate plastic containers to hole yet another separate plastic container. Inform me as to how this is so much better than recyclable milk jugs? Or even better, the glass ones which are recyclable and starting to be more common here in the US? I mean aside from a marginally smaller amount of plastic it’s no different, and there’s not really much of an economic benefit I can see.


Edit:Someone please inform me how you keep them closed in the pitcher too. Like is it a clothespin kinda job or what do y’all usually use?

The economic benefit comes from the bags being cheaper to make and ship, therefore the savings are passed on to the customer. The bags are typically a decent amount less than regular jugs. And you answered your question on why bags vs jugs for environmental reasons- they use less plastic. I’m not trying to make an argument for one or the other. I don’t even drink milk.
