"Consumption of milk per capita has gone down every year over the last 30 years," says Sylvain Charlebois, director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. "Actually, it's gone down by more than 20 per cent since 2015."

I dont think any liquids are sold in cardboard. It woukd leak. Usually its lined with plastic, so no longer compostable.

But glass cab be reused.

No, but it would be compostable. And renewables depending on the wax source (eg soy)
