Questions first, explanation underneath,
-
Are tetra-pak containers actually better for the environment? Or is it a bit of a con?
-
Would powdered Oat milk be better than tetra-pak, or other containers?
I’m getting into Oat milk, been a long time coming, finally just getting on and doing it.
We’ve ordered some Nimbus powdered online. But for now I’ve been drinking from the Tetra-pak Oat milks. Brands were Vitasoy and Oatley (apparently they’re shipped from Europe? Wtf?).
I looked up thinkstep anz’s comparative assessment of tetra-paks impacts and it comes out top. But this seems about as independent as a trouts flipper, so i’m not sure i trust their conclusion.
Any answers, or guidance would be muchly appreciated. :)
Yep, got ya! I actually tried them for a while a few years back, for this exact environmental reason, but the milk kept going off too quick. It led to litres getting poured down the drain. Sometimes this shit is so impossible! 🤣
Oh interesting. I guess because you can’t close it up properly? I avoid buying them when I can because it runs out too quickly and then I have to go back to the shops for more. Tend to buy 3 L bottles for my cereal (the only time I really use milk, since I switched to having my tea black).
Yeah thats what i supposed it must be. I should’ve tried putting it towards the back of the fridge instead of in the door, maybe that would’ve made a difference as well.
They do run out quickly For now I think i’ll still have milk with cereal, can’t get my head around having anything else yet. I don’t have it often, so its not a big part of the change. I’ve tried black coffee a bit over the last year as an alternative option… its not for me. No point in living if thats how i have to have coffee! The Italians would hate me! 😄
