Not so long ago caps-free packaging was standard within the dairy industry. Arla has been critisized by their own customers for switching to tetras with plastic cap already in 2019, but they defended themselves by saying that it is difficult to get reserve parts for the old packaging machines. Considering what share of the dairy market in Sweden Arla has - 69% (source: Swedish board of agriculture) - they can definitely influence what kind if packaging machines should be produced and what kind of packaging should be produced on them. Worth mentioning that other dairy companies still use cap-free packaging for their products, albeit fewer and fewer. Climate compensation is worth nothing if you don’t make an effort to actually minimize the environmental impact of your products. Dairy products have already a high impact, reducing the environmental load of the packaging is the least you can do. Looking forward to your reply. Best regards, Lena Allansson

I don't see cap free milk or milk variations of anything in the USA except for small containers of half and half and whipping cream. This is a good suggestion but it seems the whole beverage industry needs to be addressed.

This is equivalent to managing to chew a whole cow and not be able to work on the tail.. it's just a little bit of work left on the plastic cap Arla.

My impression is that Arla is really struggling with how to tackle being challenged by plant-based alternatives like Oatly. The 'net zero climate footprint' sticker does indeed seem like greenwashing. Would be great to see them own up to their actual climate impact, but I would be very surprised if they did as it would likely severely impact their business.
