Amcor Rigid Plastics has launched a new range of PET stock bottles and preforms.

The range has been designed for dairy, aseptic, and high-pressure processed (HPP) liquid beverages.

They are spill-proof and offer high quality sealing in convenient sizes.

The rigid plastic packaging giant said the PET beverage collection is available in round, hourglass, and square shapes and comes in four sizes.

Three filling types include cold-fill for dairy and juice, aseptic for dairy and juice, and high-pressure processing (HPP) for juice.

The new dairy bottle is designed to maximize process efficiencies while applying technologies including the lightweight Bericap Aseptic finish.

Quality sealing is achieved due to the tight tolerance of the finish, product spoilage is virtually eliminated, and secondary packaging and distribution costs are reduced.

For brand owners and co-packers, Amcor’s vacuum absorbing technology provides bottle stability even during challenging altitudes and temperatures encountered during transportation and distribution.

Food & Drink Business

Western Australian producer, Brownes Dairy, has been put up for sale according to the Australian Financial Review (AFR), as one of its biggest lenders, China Mengniu Dairy, calls in its $200 million loan. A reduced demand for milk in China and the current positioning of the global market could be driving the decision.

The Central Coast is about to receive a boost to its local food and beverage manufacturing industry, with construction starting on the $17.14 million Food Manufacturing Innovation Hub, funded by the federal government’s National Reconstruction Fund (NFR).

The Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) says Australia is at a “critical crossroads” when it comes to R&D and decades of rhetoric have not delivered material change.
