The Pros and Cons of Milk Bags

Bagged milk is a preferred packing method for milk in Canada, India, China, Brazil, South Africa, Poland, Israel, and others. The process is quite a bit cheaper than carton or jug packing methods, and consumes roughly 75% less raw materials to produce. Essentially, a bag of milk is less expensive to make than a carton or jug. This fact alone would have me convinced that milk farms all around the country either have, will, or will closely consider switching to the bag method as the demand for lower prices rages on.

If a reduced overhead price isn’t enough, here are a few more reasons bagged milk might be a good idea.

  • Milk bags are 100% recyclable. Milk cartons coated in wax are not.
  • Less storage space required on your refrigerator shelf.
  • Bags are portioned for maximum shelf life.
  • Easier to ship.
  • Sometimes less expensive to buy than jugs or cartons.
Of course, with every great idea comes at least a few disadvantages. Here are some of the drawbacks to bagged milk.

  • Pouring end can become heavy and topple over causing a spill.
  • Once opened, a bag is not easily resealed.
  • Bags are easily broken or punctured during transit.
  • Bags sit awkwardly in your fridge once opened unless in a pitcher.
The Pros and Cons of Milk Cartons

Milk cartons (and jugs) are both popular packaging methods of milk in the US and in many places around the world. These containers can also be found in countries that go through more bagged milk than not, making the milk carton one of the more recognizable items at grocery stores around the world.

There are some advantages of using a milk carton over a bag. These include:

  • Defined and resealable pouring spout.
  • Durability during transit and use.
  • Easily repurposed for other things such as gardening or storage.
  • Requires no additional equipment to store once opened.
  • It’s Easier to Drink out of a carton.
As with the milk bags, there are some disadvantages to look out for when using a milk carton.

  • Cartons with wax lining aren’t always recyclable.
  • Cartons cost more to produce and require more raw materials.
  • Larger waste footprint, difficult to break down.
  • Not always waterproof from the outside.

I've been to Canada but don't recall drinking milk while I was there.

Once opened, what is the shelf life on a bag of milk?
In the US cheap milk has about a 2 week window from the time you buy it until it is spoiled.
th

Organic milk has a month and a half to two months before it spoils.
th




There does not seem to be any true difference in storage time or quality from carton to (plastic) containers... but I don't know how a bag or pitcher would vary.
I can't decide whether letting milk oxidize in the open would be better or worse... (in refridgerated conditions, of course)
:patrice:

Breh... That's unopened it last that long. Once open you have 7 days to drink it. Trust me... I thought the same but it doesn't stay good for 2mths only the shelf life.
