Embleton Hall Dairies is set to introduce a new 2l high density polyethylene (HDPE) recyclable milk bottle infini designed by UK-based plastic milk bottle manufacturer Nampak Plastics.
Infini, made with 15% recycled HDPE, has been designed to be light weighted by up to 13% compared to the standard two-litre bottle.
The recycled content will be increased further in the future with a target of up to 30% by 2015.
Embleton Hall Dairies director Paul Thompson said that the company has not changed the design of its milk poly bottles since 1984 and wanted to change it when Nampak approached them with a new design.
"That it improves bottle strength and reduces leakage rates is a massive bonus, and the results are good for both our customers and the environment," Thompson added.
Embleton Hall offers milk products, including 1% Fat Milk and Skimmed Milk along with 100% natural yogurts.
