Cadbury has expanded into the premium space with an “indulgent” chocolate brand called Cadbury Coco.

The dark chocolate is described by the company as “thin, smooth and refined”, delivering a lingering cocoa character.

Cadbury has launched a multi-million dollar marketing campaign led by a new TVC that emphasises the product's premium status, and a three-month sampling program will reach a further 1.5 million people.

Cadbury has also partnered with Virgin Australia and Opera Australia, with sampling activity taking place across Virgin business lounges and at performances of Anything Goes at Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Arts Centre in coming months.

The launch campaign will include outdoor activity, cinema advertising, social media, an online video and in-store activity.

Cadbury Coco is available this month, in both blocks (RRP $3.99) and gifting packages (RRP $12.99) in dark chocolate flavours including Dark Orange and Dark Mint.

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.
