West Horsley Dairy, the family-owned foodservice distributor and supplier of premium dairy products, has teamed up with Delphis Eco to reduce the number of single use milk poly bottles that go to landfill or end up in the ocean.
This step means its customers will be offered the full range of Delphis Eco’s British-made, all-natural cleaning products, which will be supplied in packaging made from recycled milk poly bottles.
West Horsley Dairy’s Director, Catherine Colton, explained: “We’re delighted to be offering the full range of Delphis Eco’s cleaning products which are highly effective, yet do not use caustic ingredients that are toxic to the environment.
“This relatively small British producer has led the way and put big brands to shame in the way they have pioneered what was originally the UK’s first 100% recycled packaging, made from single-use milk poly bottles. It’s a fantastic initiative and we are very excited to be sharing this opportunity with our customers, many of whom share our passion for best practice in sustainability.
“We are very aware of the implications of our customers using plastic milk bottles and the ‘unintended consequences’ when it comes to disposing of single use plastic waste. The figures are worrying with estimates that nearly 40m poly bottles are used in the UK every day and only 20m of those are recycled. We all need to do more.”
