PKN talks... collecting today, creating tomorrow – unpacking the story behind Close the Loop's new brand identity, with Joe Foster and Jessica O'Donnell.

 

In this episode, Lindy Hughson, Managing Editor & Publisher of PKN Packaging News talks to Joe Foster, Chief Executive Officer, and Jess O'Donnell, Marketing Manager, at Close the Loop, about what lies behind the group’s new brand identity

We kick off the discussion by getting detailed insights into ASX-listed Close the Loop's cohesive rebranding process, as well as its continued global expansion. We go on to review the company’s progress towards achieving a true circular economy, how it stands out in a market where competitors use ‘close the loop’ messaging in their branding, and how the new brandmark has ensured a unified identity to enhance relationships with stakeholders as the group moves forward as one entity under one brand.

The discussion also explores the meaning behind the new mobius loop logo and the ‘collecting today, creating tomorrow’ tagline that together reflect Close the Loop’s current services, accessibility to new clients, and future expansions.

We take a brief diversion to congratulate Jessica on her recent win in the Communications Excellence category at PKN’s Women in Packaging Awards.

We wrap up by getting a sneak peak into Close the Loop's future plans and key goals, with a focus on overcoming challenges presented by soft plastics.

Food & Drink Business

Inghams has returned to volume growth with reduced dependence on Woolworths but net profit fell 61.5 per cent to $34.6 million as input cost inflation, first half production inefficiencies and a tax provision weighed on FY26 earnings.

Endeavour Group’s decision to reset shelf prices at Dan Murphy’s has restored sales momentum but taken a heavy toll on earnings, with annual profit down 87.8 per cent to $52 million for FY26 after $372 million in pre-tax significant items covering restructuring, asset writedowns and the exit from its winery portfolio.

Food and beverage businesses that delay adopting AI, precision agriculture, digital modelling and fermentation technologies risk being locked out of the commercial opportunities attached to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, a new perspective paper from Australia’s Food and Beverage Accelerator (FaBA) says.
