    Forever Bottles: reusable and refillable glass bottles
Close×

Thankyou has unveiled its latest innovation: Forever Bottles – reusable and refillable glass bottles which it says mark a significant stride towards circularity, aligning with its mission to create a positive impact on the planet.
 
As previously reported in PKN, in 2023, Australian-born social enterprise Thankyou reimagined consumerism for global rollout when it launched an all-new range in cleaning  products – a new category for the organisation, and added new products to its personal care portfolio.
 
The new Forever Bottles are crafted from recyclable glass and are designed to be purchased and used indefinitely, offering consumers an alternative to traditional single-use packaging.
 
With a focus on reducing waste and minimising environmental footprint, Thankyou says it has introduced these premium products as part of its commitment to a healthier planet.
 
Each bottle is designed to ensure longevity, encouraging consumers to embrace a mindset of reuse and reduce.

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.
