Is it really less wasteful? Cartons seem to be easily recyclable using an hydrapulper, while the milkman distribution requires an extra truck trip, wasting a lot of gas compared to just carrying a couple of milk packages along with the rest of the groceries.

It's not wasting gas of the float is electric. Plenty of clean ways to charge that, especially considering they're unused during most daylight hours.
I believe this person is describing delivery by way of some kind of boat, rather than automobile.
