Slate Milkĭespite the growing hype around dairy alternatives, a category that will grow at an estimated 23% CAGR between 20 to reach at least $5.1 billion in the U.S., according to PitchBook data, Lubin said Slate is not in a rush to jump on the bandwagon. Slate pivots itself as a sustainable brand as its products are packaged in 100% recyclable aluminum. The only outside water we use is to clean our machinery.” “When we ultra-filter our milk, we also remove some of the water naturally in milk, which gets sent back to our partner farms. This means, for every pound of plastic we use, we remove it from the planet,” he added. “Along with this, we do everything we can to be a sustainable brand: our products are packaged in 100% recyclable aluminum cans, and we’re actually a certified plastic-neutral brand through partner rePurpose Global. These ongoing developments are expected to drive Slate’ revenue increase by 200-300% next year, according to Lubin, who notes retail will account for the majority of the company’s sales by 2021 – around 70% with nearly 4,000 locations under major banners, including Publix, Wegmans, Market Basket, Ahold and Whole Foods WFM. The newly raised capital will support the launch of its two new flavors in 2022 and continued retail and e-commerce expansion. Slate, which sources dairy from family-owned farms in New York, is currently available in three different varieties: classic chocolate and dark chocolate milk, in addition to an espresso chocolate milk boosted with 150mg of caffeine per can. “We feel as though our taste profile and nutritional makeup for 20g protein, zero added sugar and no artificial ingredients is really what sets us apart,” he said. Most of these investors, Lubin believes, have been in similar situations when building their businesses and can effectively help Slate expand retail and online footprints.

The policy also phases out the short-order grill, adds more items to the salad bar, and prohibits dessert cookies and cakes.

It rolled out a new food program last fall in cafeterias at Fort Jackson in South Carolina Fort Sill in Oklahoma Fort Knox in Kentucky Fort Benning in Georgia, and Fort Leonard Wood, in Missouri-the five bases where the Army’s 10-week basic training sessions take place.
