Champion: Abel & Cole - Refillable Plastic Milk Bottle

It’s a double award win for Abel & Cole’s Refillable Plastic Milk Bottles, having walked away with the prize for Sustainability Initiative of the Year at this year’s Grocer Gold Awards, but the innovation is more than deserving of another trophy.
