Sustainability

Stop transporting water that does not need to move.

Carbon footprint of Milx versus conventional fluid milk distribution
  • About one-fifth of the packaging and distribution energy per pound of milk solids.

  • No refrigerated distribution: aseptic, ships at ambient.

  • Nine months of commercial quality in cool storage, so less product is lost when supply and demand do not line up.

  • Every Milx truck takes four trucks off the road.

  • For the plant: fewer shipments, less refrigerated warehousing, longer inventory windows, less spoilage and emergency production.

  • Basis: per pound of milk solids delivered; reference product is refrigerated fluid milk in gallon jugs; 5X concentration, the conservative end of the 5X to 7X range; refrigerated distribution assumed for fluid milk, none for Milx. Modeled with the methodology of Nutter et al., 2013 (International Dairy Journal 31, S57–S64); to be measured at the first commercial installation.

  • Milx supports the Net Zero Dairy Initiative of Global Dairy Platform.
