At Foodpro this week, Catherine Dillon of Sphere Foods shared the merits of the company's 'Perfect Red' odour and flavour-free colourant.

In this demonstration on the Sphere Foods' stand, we see how the natural, crystalline product, derived from the hybrid Rubired grape via a patented drying process, goes easily into solution to add colour without changing taste or aroma.

The ACCC has instituted court proceedings against Clorox Australia, owner of GLAD-branded kitchen and garbage bags, over alleged false claims that bags were partly made of recycled 'ocean plastic'.

In news that is disappointing but not surprising given the recent reports on the unfolding Qenos saga, the new owner of Qenos has placed the company into voluntary administration. The closure of the Qenos Botany facility has also been confirmed.

An agreement struck between Cleanaway and Viva Energy will see the two companies undertake a prefeasibility assessment of a circular solution for soft plastics and other hard-to-recycle plastics.
