Waarom gebruiken we bij Pure Goat Company eigenlijk metalen blikken?

Why do we use metal cans?

What a goatee question!

The main function of packaging is: to protect the contents from contamination, spoilage and damage during the logistics process and also afterwards. Metal, more specifically: tinplate, offers resilient protection and is one of the strongest barriers against UV and oxygen. This allows products to be stored for longer and less needs to be thrown away. In addition, essential nutrients are better preserved. That makes you and your little one happy too, right?

Sustainability

Another important aspect is sustainability. Metal is a very sustainable choice because it can be recycled endlessly. There are big differences between the number of times different materials can be recycled. Some materials, such as plastics, can only be recycled a limited number of times before they degrade and have to be disposed of permanently.

With metals, a circular flow is possible, reducing the need for new material. Metal also has one of the highest recycling rates compared to other materials. High recyclability and high recycling rates are both necessary for circularity. So throw your empty Pure Goat can in the metal- and plastic waste stream!

Did you know: 80 percent of all metal ever produced is still in circulation? So Goat right?

FAQ'S

No, in most cases, goat milk is not suitable for babies with a diagnosed cow milk protein allergy. This is because the primary allergen in cow milk, the casein protein, is about 90 percent identical to the protein found in goat milk. Consequently, your child may experience similar allergic reactions. If you suspect an allergy or have doubts about making the switch, always consult your midwife or pediatrician first.

Many parents consciously make the switch to goat milk because they are looking for a natural and pure alternative to traditional cow milk formula. Goat milk naturally has a mild and creamy taste that babies find very appealing. Pure Goat Company uses organic whole goat milk, complemented with organic lactose, plant-based oils, GOS fibers, and essential vitamins and minerals. While breastfeeding is always the first and best choice, organic goat milk formula provides a safe and high-quality alternative.

Switching from cow milk to goat milk is usually very smooth due to its mild flavor. However, it is best to introduce the new formula gradually. Start by mixing a small amount of goat milk formula into the current formula and slowly increase the proportion over time. Monitor your baby’s reaction and digestion closely during the transition. For personal guidance, you can always contact your midwife or our customer service team.
