CowOn average 1 cow produces 90 glasses of milk a day.
Milk tankerThe farmer milks the cow and then the milk is transported by milk tanker to the bottling plant.
SupermarketYou can buy lots of different milk in different sized containers. The most popular is a 4 pint plastic bottle of semi-skimmed milk.
FridgeMost of us use milk everyday whether it is on our cereal or in cups of tea or coffee.
Bottling plantAll the plastic bottles are filled with milk before being transported to shops and supermarkets for you to purchase.
ManufactureThe pellets of recycled plastic are then used to make planks of plastic lumber in a multitude of different colour options. The pellets will also be used to make new plastic milk bottles.
Recycled tablesThe recycled plastic planks are used to make sustainable outdoor furniture including picnic tables, benches, seating, fencing and planters. Guaranteed to last for up to 25 years!
ReprocessorThe recycled plastic milk bottles are transported to a reprocessor where they are washed and cut up into tiny pellets.
CollectionA recycling lorry collects your recycling and takes it to a materials recycling facility where it is sorted into different recycling types.
