As consumer brands and retailers continue their quest for sustainable packaging, it seems that milk is front and center. Developed by Dairy Crest in conjunction with UK retailer Sainsbury’s, JUGIT is a pouch-based packaging solution that uses significantly less packaging material than conventional plastic milk containers. The pouch is used along with an easy-to-pour, reusable plastic jug. After the pouch is dropped into the jug and the main body of the lid closed-trapping the top of the bag using secure clips-a spike attachment on the inside of the lid punctures the pouch. A recloseable spout then flips open for pouring. (Injection-molded jug: RPC Group, www.rpc-marketrasen.co.uk)
