PKN talks… Taking positive climate action through innovative packaging solutions, with Carol Kilcullen-Lawrence at UPM Raflatac, and Nicholas Rodgers at Ego Pharmaceuticals.

In this episode, Lindy Hughson, managing editor & publisher of PKN Packaging News, talks with Carol Kilcullen-Lawrence, sustainability consultant to UPM Raflatac, and Nicholas Rodgers, packaging technologist at Ego Pharmaceuticals.

The podcast explores how the industry is tackling climate change, and its response to the Climate Bill legislative requirements. We get an insight into how UPM Raflatac and Ego are undertaking these positive climate action initiatives ahead of targets, fulfilling consumer expectations, and how they meet label regulatory requirements, through their Forest Film solution.

We also get an insight into the relationship between suppliers and brand owners to implement Forest Film, and how it won them a number of Packaging Innovation and Design Awards (PIDA) awards.

Food & Drink Business

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.  

The winners of the 62nd annual Australian Export Awards were announced in Canberra yesterday, featuring three winners from the food sector – including dessert manufacturer Frosty Boy Global, in the Agribusiness, Food and Beverages category.

Mondelēz International has appointed Toby Smith as President Japan, Australia and New Zealand, with the incumbent, Darren O’Brien, appointed Global Chief Corporate and Government Affairs officer.
