In this regular monthly podcast, industry insiders Lindy Hughson and Kim Berry provide insight, analysis and commentary on the top news stories shaping change in Australia’s dynamic packaging industry.

May was a busy month, we start off with an in-depth review of the exciting products seen at the Interpack trade show, with insights into the in-person mega-show experience and the increased push for sustainable solutions seen on the show floor. We also celebrate the strong performance from Australia in the WorldStar 2023 awards, and the announcement of Lindy’s election as president of the International Packaging Press Organisation (IPPO).

Moving to news closer to home, we comment on the Moccona vs Vittoria glass jar IP legal action, and Nestle's new refillable formula pack. We wrap up by announcing Boris Munster’s new role as the managing director of Tetra Pak Oceania, and explore designs for the Papa Salt gin bottles (made for actor Margot Robbie and friends) and Lion’s XXXX new limited release beer cans.
