Making my milk habit more sustainable still

I had just drank the last milk my milkman had delivered before I headed for the Netherlands. And it’s a long journey! Plenty of time to use. And in the train I saw an advert for oat milk in powder form. That sounded ideal! Why move all the water in oat milk around? I can get that from the tap. The environmental footprint goes down a lot if you only transport the solids around. So I immediately ordered a sachet. 


It arrived soon. So what do I think? I would say it is a winner. It just makes oat milk! But you end up with less packaging. What’s not to like. Even the cat approves of it. 

Making milk

Two species product testing 

The one thing that is a bit of a snag is that the cartons you buy liquid milk in our recyclable, but my county does not accept the LDPE This stuff comes in for recycling. I will probably have to bring that to a collection point in a big supermarket… but that's doable. So that's me on oat milk powder from now on I think!
