Australian boutique coffee maker Hunt and Brew will now be packaging its cold brew beverages in bottles made by Pact Group from 100 per cent recycled plastic and recyclable via kerbside collections.

Hunt and Brew said the shift to more sustainable packaging ensures the company is continuing to take steps that reduce its environmental impact where possible. 

“At Hunt and Brew, we want to be part of the circular economy with recycled plastic bottles,” explained Emily Creer, manager at Hunt Brew. 

“Our consumers are concerned about single-use plastics, and this is in addition to the container deposit scheme, helps to ensure we close the loop.”

Hunt and Brew launched the first Australian cold brew product earlier this year, with no added sugar and local coffee beans sourced from far north Queensland.

“We are proud to be taking a broad view in terms of sustainability by looking across the entire supply chain,” Creer said. 

“Our Australian coffee not only has recycled plastic bottles, but also is supporting local Queensland farmers and reducing the food miles across the country.”

Hunt and Brew is a multi-award-winning beverage company with awards at the World Beverage Innovation Awards, as well as the Australian International Coffee Awards for excellence in cold brew coffee.

Food & Drink Business

Queensland’s best beverages have been awarded at the 2026 Royal Queensland Distilled Spirits and Beer Awards, with Happy Valley Brewing Co and Nil Desperandum taking out the top honours.

Adelaide Hills wine producer, Sidewood Estate, has entered a national distribution partnership with Samuel Smith & Son, the domestic distribution arm of Hill-Smith Family Estates.

Twelve months after bringing four businesses together under the SPC Global banner, CEO Robert Iervasi says the biggest shift has been cultural as much as financial: the company has moved from making what it can and “finding a home” for it, to building the portfolio around what consumers want, in the channels where demand is strongest.
