Together, the duo hope to reduce the number of single-use milk poly bottles that end up in landfill or the ocean.
Family-owned West Horsley Dairy will now offer customers Delphis Eco’s full range of British-made, natural cleaning products - with all packaging made from the recycled milk poly bottles.
Director Catherine Colton said: “West Horsley Dairy is 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 40 million poly bottles are used in the UK every day and only 20 million of those are recycled. We all need to do more!
“This is a ground-breaking symbiotic relationship which enables our customers to make a real difference. When restaurants and operators talk about ‘nose to tail’, this is the plastic equivalent in closing the loop on how plastic in the dairy Industry is used and recycled, giving a ‘second life’ to ‘single life’ plastic and encouraging consumers and businesses to recycle more back into the chain.
“We’re delighted to be offering the full range of Delphis Eco’s cleaning products which are highly effective without using 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”.
