PKN is excited to announce our move into the world of podcasts! As we celebrate our 60th year as the media voice of Australia’s packaging industry, we believe this addition to our multi-media platform is both timely and relevant.

We’re aiming to offer our members a blend of topical and sponsored content in this new format. Click here to listen to the first episode.

We’ll be airing discussions on all things packaging, highlighting innovation, design and sustainable packaging initiatives that are moving the industry forward towards a circular economy and meeting our national packaging targets. And we’ll be looking at exciting industry projects, and community initiatives, and covering technology and material developments too.

There are so many good news stories from the world of packaging, and we at PKN feel compelled to spread the word, bringing our audience entertaining and informative interviews with industry leaders, change drivers and experts across all aspects of packaging.

If you have any ideas or pitches that you think would work well for future episodes, please do reach out to me.

Food & Drink Business

The snack food landscape is changing in Australia. Ingredient lists, long dominated by ultra-processed foods (UPFs), are under ever-increasing scrutiny by experts and consumers alike. As regulation looks to catch up, brands and industry swing between competition and opportunity. Adam Elharte from snack bar company, Viva Perfetto writes.

Wide Open Agriculture (WOA) has released independent CSIRO testing of its lupin kernel fibre as it looks to turn a by-product of its protein process into a second saleable ingredient. The move will shore up the manufacturing model it is currently rebuilding.

Bubs Australia recorded 9.2 per cent revenue growth in FY26, driven by a 24 per cent increase in its US business, but higher airfreight, regulatory and tariff costs pushed the infant nutrition company to an EBITDA loss of $1.8 million.
