Milk & More Nelson has been delivering glass-bottled milk to businesses and homes around the top of the south since last April. Marlborough deliveries will start early next month. The glass bottles can be collected and re-used, diverting about 6 tonnes of plastic bottles from landfill this year alone. The 1L bottles of pasteurised milk cost $3.20 delivered to the doorstep.
