A biodegradable cup suited to both food and beverages of different temperatures will be launched next month.

Made to be used for ice cream, hot drinks, and takeaway food, the Foopak Bio Natura Cup uses a biodegradable aqueous coating as an alternative to a PE lining, ensuring the packaging is easily recyclable and compostable at end-of-life without the need for expensive plastic separation.

The cup joins the range of Foopak products spanning greaseproof papers and boards, cupcake and other bakery liners, as well as heat-sealable, PE and folding boxboards.

The Foopak range is halal-certified to the Indonesian HAS 23000 standard, helping brands to appeal to the growing number of Muslim consumers.

Food & Drink Business

Tasmanian premium food manufacturer Pure Foods Tasmania (ASX: PFT) says a year of restructuring and cost discipline is beginning to stabilise the business, with improved margins, expanding retail distribution and several months of positive operating cashflow recorded in the first half of FY26.

Endeavour Group has reported modest sales growth but weaker earnings for the first half of FY26 as the liquor and hospitality giant stepped up price investment and accelerated capital spending across its network.

Bulla Dairy Foods CEO, Allan Hood, has stepped down after 12 years of leadership within the company. James Downey, a fifth-generation member of one of Bulla’s three founding families, has taken up the role of acting CEO.
