"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."

While bagged milk is often cited as a unique Canadianism, it's actually not sold west of Ontario. Those who prefer it, however, say it's more cost efficient and some even believe it tastes better.

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.

I don't think cardboard recycling can tolerate anything like that

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