In an attempt to boost the sale of milk, the Arizona diary has come up with a retro style. The Danzeisen Dairy of Phoenix has begun selling milk in glass bottles. Milk in mocha, strawberry and orange are some of the flavors that are sold by Danzeisen. The flavored varieties are made with 2 percent milk.

"It's a different taste," said Tricia Tejeda, a mother of four who uses Danzeisen milk. "It's really natural. You can tell the difference."

Danzeisen sells around 4, 000 glass bottles of milk in a week which is 5 percent of the milk produced by more than 2,200 cattle head at two nearby Danzeisen farms. The rest is distributed by United Dairymen of Arizona.

According to environmental reports, glass is more environmental friendly, while plastic bottles add to landfills for hundreds of years are not degradable.
Manufacturers are opting lighter materials like cheaper waxed cartons and plastic jugs for packaging as glass bottles frequently broke, said Danzeisen.

"Conventional plastics do not biodegrade ... within any meaningful human timescale ... they just break apart into smaller plastic fragments," Algalita, a research organization focused on plastic pollution.

Danzeisen uses modern technology such as computerized cooling system to run 1950s-era bottler, eventually it is planned to operate the same with smartphone.
