Organisations can now apply for up to $20,000 to raise awareness about recycling beverage containers away from home.

The Keep Australia Beautiful Beverage Container Recycling Program has been offering grants since 2009 due to funding from The Coca-Cola Foundation (CCF) and Coca-Cola South Pacific (CCSP).

The companies have distributed over $1.6 million to support community recycling projects throughout Australia.

This year, over $440,000 in grant funds is available, and groups and organisations are able to apply if they can prove that their project focuses on recycling beverage containers away from home, educates the public, or improves recycling and waste management infrastructure.

Applications close 1 July, and applicants will be notified by 1 August.

You can apply here.

Australia’s native food industry has received a boost – with Indigenous-owned Cooee Foods Australia acquiring native ingredients suppliers, Creative Native Foods – placing it under First Nations ownership for the first time in its 25 years.

The Top 10 remained a stable list this year, with five companies holding their position – Fonterra (#1), JBS (#2), Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (#3), Asahi (#4), and Thomas Foods International (#7). The biggest change was Treasury Wine Estates dropping out of the list, from #10 to #13.

Food & Drink Business and IBISWorld present this year’s Top 100 companies, a ranking of Australia’s largest food and drink companies by revenue. This year reflects a sector positioning itself for immediate term viability and long-term competitiveness.
