Questions first, explanation underneath,

  1. Are tetra-pak containers actually better for the environment? Or is it a bit of a con?

  2. Would powdered Oat milk be better than tetra-pak, or other containers?

I'm getting into Oat milk, been a long time coming, finally just getting on and doing it.

We've ordered some Nimbus powdered online. But for now I've been drinking from the Tetra-pak Oat milks. Brands were Vitasoy and Oatley (apparently they're shipped from Europe? Wtf?).

I looked up thinkstep anz's comparative assessment of tetra-paks impacts and it comes out top. But this seems about as independent as a trouts flipper, so i'm not sure i trust their conclusion.

Any answers, or guidance would be muchly appreciated. :)

the milk kept going off too quick

Oh interesting. I guess because you can't close it up properly? I avoid buying them when I can because it runs out too quickly and then I have to go back to the shops for more. Tend to buy 3 L bottles for my cereal (the only time I really use milk, since I switched to having my tea black).

    Yeah thats what i supposed it must be. I should've tried putting it towards the back of the fridge instead of in the door, maybe that would've made a difference as well.

    They do run out quickly For now I think i'll still have milk with cereal, can't get my head around having anything else yet. I don't have it often, so its not a big part of the change. I've tried black coffee a bit over the last year as an alternative option... its not for me. No point in living if thats how i have to have coffee! The Italians would hate me! 😄
