Delivering fresh ways to reduce plastic waste, shop ethically and feel good about convenience.
About us
Our business started as a local milkround inspired by David Attenborough's Blue Planet and the need to reduce plastic waste. In the space of a few short years, we've grown from four friends and a truck to a vast network of milkmen and women working tirelessly to reduce consumer waste. Our mobile tech supports our 'eco-warriors on earlies' by connecting them to our customers via online ordering and driver apps, facilitating convenient doorstep deliveries. The tech also connects us to our network of independent dairies, farmers and suppliers who are mutually committed to sustainable produce and plastic-free packaging. We're continually innovating to expand our return and reuse range, and our business is ever-evolving. But we're purpose-driven, and our environmental goals are steadfast. Our mission is to revolutionise consumer habits by delivering fresh ways to return and reuse packaging, shop ethically and feel good about convenience.

Morning everyone, happy Friday! At Modern Milkman, we believe in the power of community and sustainability. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Hubbub, an award-winning environmental charity dedicated to inspiring positive change. Amongst their many projects, the Community Fridge initiative provides spaces that bring people together to share food, meet up, learn new skills and prevent fresh food from going to waste. They’re open to all and anyone can share or take food, including surplus from supermarkets, local food businesses, producers, households and gardens. They have 600 and counting. Our partnership with Hubbub aligns perfectly with our mission to help people adopt sustainable habits and reduce packaging waste through closed-loop supply chains. There are two simple ways you can support Hubbub's amazing work: 1. Add a Virtual Pint to Your Order Enhance your regular delivery by adding a virtual pint. 95% of the cost will be donated directly to Hubbub's Community Fridge Network, supporting local communities and reducing food waste. 2. Refer a Friend in August Spread the word! For every friend you refer in August, Modern Milkman will donate £5 to Hubbub. It’s a great way to share the benefits of our service while supporting a cause that matters. Thank you for being part of the Modern Milkman community and for your continued support in making our world a better place. https://lnkd.in/eMDz8v2j
Crying over spilt milk? No, we’re celebrating over a virtual pint of milk! We’ve partnered with Modern Milkman, who – as well as offering sustainably packaged, plastic-free groceries – are supporting our Community Fridge Network to share food amongst communities and save food waste. For the month of August, every time you successfully refer a friend, The Modern Milkman will donate £5 to Hubbub. And for the rest of this year, you can ‘buy’ a virtual pint of milk with your regular order, and 95% of the cost will be donated to the Community Fridge Network. Wondering what a Community Fridge is? They’re spaces that bring people together to share food, save it from going to waste, connect and learn new skills. In partnership with the Co-op the Community Fridge Network has grown to over 650 fridges across the UK and last year they shared around 18 million meals' worth of food to over 600,000 visitors! We think that’s worth raising a glass for! 🥛 Find out more or pick up a virtual pint here: https://lnkd.in/dz23p8Ub
