Packaging
We like to think we could spot a block of Whittaker’s Creamy Milk from a mile off, but there’s more to packaging than how it looks.
Our packaging might be world class in design, quality and food safety, but we need to do better for the environment. So we’ve been re-thinking the future of packaging and what that might look like. Follow our journey as we road test ideas and solutions that bring us closer to 100% sustainable packaging.
