Two High Commendations were awarded to EzyLug + Coconut Oil by Melrose and Caps & Closures; and Zero Triple Strike Garden Weedkiller Concentrate by Yates.

The Bronze Award went to Green Action Dishwashing Liquid 500ml by TrendPac; while the Silver Award went to Whistler - Avian Intelligence Birdfood Range for Fibrecycle by Zipform Packaging.

For this category koor’s unique design elevates reuse and refill principles, minimise single plastic usage and creates a more sustainable solution.

Food & Drink Business

Australian ready-made meal business, Fast Fuel Meals, has entered voluntary administration, with more than $20m in creditor claims outstanding as the company considers a change of ownership.

CocoCoast is targeting $200m in annual revenue within five years after growing 53% in the past year, as it looks to exploit gaps in the US beverage market created amid tariff disruption.

The evolution of fermentation from familiar tradition to a powerful platform for future food innovation was the topic of conversation at a recent invitation-only Novonesis business breakfast for business leaders from the Australian and New Zealand food and beverage industry.
