Ardagh Group, Glass – North America and its partner Stanpac have partnered to provide glass milk bottles amid the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.
The latest move comes in response to the increasing demand for glass milk bottles from delivery companies across the US due to the outbreak. Americans still want these bottles delivered to their doorsteps even at this time when states are reopening.
