The Australian Packaging Covenant (APC) is looking to build awareness of its role beyond its traditional packaging industry roots with the creation and launch of a new video.

Approved this month by the APC council and now live on the APC's website, the video uses animated graphics to provide a simple and effective communications tool to explain the APC's role and achievements.

APC chief executive Stan Moore told PKN the video was designed to simplify the organisation's message to make it more accessible to the wider community and raise awareness of its work.

“Our brief was to make our role understandable and relevant to a broader audience beyond those who deal with the APC all the time,” he said.

“It's like a short, easily accessible and understandable snapshot into what we do and what we promote.

“Those people who interested in real and sustainable outcomes would find it interesting, and hopefully they will then go and look further into what we do.”

The federal government has confirmed it will not proceed with the Tax Laws Amendment (Incentivising Food Donations to Charitable Organisations) Bill 2024, saying the legislation contains “deficiencies that compromise its policy intent”, even as food insecurity remains at record levels across Australia.

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem. 

Victorian-based Aquafab has completed a $620,000 Series A raise through Birchal, supported by over 300 investors. The company told Food & Drink Business that the funds will support continued national growth and plans in place to enter the US and UK markets this year.
