The exhibits include:

· Krones’ plastic-free packaging LitePac Top, an eco-friendly and sustainable solutions alternative to shrink film packs.

· Insights into sustainable food for the future. Our alternative-food experts will be on-site to bring you up to speed on the increasingly varied world of meat, milk substitutes and alternative proteins.

· Material properties, processability, food suitability: find out everything you need to know about the use of Krones plastics recycling with MetaPure recycling systems.

The company will also be accompanied by Evoguard, presenting its high-quality pumps and valves that are suitable for use with beverages, plant-based beverages, and alternative food processing.

A national network for young grape and wine professionals has been launched, set to foster the next generation of winemakers, viticulturists, cellar door staff, wine judges and other roles in Australia’s wine sector.

A new bill was introduced to Parliament on 19 November, which offers a framework for regulating the sale or importation of organic goods in Australia, and stronger opportunities for exporting organic products.

The Senate Economics Committee has rejected the Food Donations Bill that proposed a tax offset for companies donating excess food to food relief agencies rather than dumping it. While the bill had the potential to deliver the equivalent of 100 million meals to food relief organisations, the committee said it had “serious concerns” including the bill’s “generous” tax concessions. Food relief agencies and social welfare organisations have questioned the committee’s decision to reject the bill outright rather than make recommendations for amendments.
