Milk can be delivered in plastic bottles, glass bottles, or paper cartons. We preclude from using the latter two because the glass bottles are considerably heavier than plastic ones. So if we can deliver 2000 liters of milk in plastic bottles in a single vehicle we'd require 4 such vehicles to transport the same quantity in glass bottles; thus killing the motive entirely as it will have a much larger carbon footprint. In the case of paper cartons, the walls of a paper carton micro-perforations & thus chances of contaminant seeping through are much higher.
