The Light Proof™ bottle preserves the nutritional value and fresh taste of milk and cream through a unique design that incorporates triple layer technology. With opaque inside and outside layers, the middle layer is the game changer; coloured black, it blocks out 100% of light. Also key to the design was ensuring the HDPE bottle preserved the nutritional value and taste of its contents while still remaining light weight and recyclable.
