OPINION: Farmers won't get any credit for this from the daily media, so Milking It is giving the bouquets where they’re due.
Canterbury milk processor Synlait has canned production of reusable stainless-steel bottles for its Synlait branded fresh milk.
The listed milk processor launched Synlait Swappa Bottle one year ago in a trial involving two supermarkets in Christchurch.
The pilot was allegedly “very successful” but Synlait says it has made the difficult decision to cease production of the bottle. A significant investment was needed to take Swappa Bottle from a pilot product to a nationwide proposition, and the economics to do this did not stack up, says Synlait.
