THE southern bench of National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Monday directed Aavin to explore the feasibility of selling milk in reusable plastic bottles.

The directive was issued in response to a petition filed by S P Surendranath Karthik and Ayya, urging Aavin to adopt environmentally friendly packaging alternatives, such as glass bottles, instead of the single-use plastic packets, which has been the practice for the past three decades.

During the hearing, Aavin's counsel highlighted the high costs (around ₹1,500 crore) associated with switching to reusable plastic or glass bottles.
