Meal kit maker Marley Spoon has announced the Australian launch of “the world's cheapest meal kit” service, Dinnerly, following its successful roll-out in the US.

Like other offerings, the kit includes pre-measured ingredients that are delivered to the door, but Dinnerly meals, only cost from around $6 per serve.

It also boasts fewer ingredients, promising a quicker and easier 20-minute prep and “unfussy, affordable weeknight cooking” compared to existing meal kit offerings, which cost from around $10 per serve.

“Dinnerly was developed to make quality, home-cooking convenience accessible to millions more.” said co-founder Rolf Weber.

“Recipes use fewer ingredients, packing is streamlined and recipes are online, meaning Dinnerly fits within a typical family budget."

A set menu of three family-friendly recipes is currently on offer, costing $39 for two people, and $69 for four people, plus shipping of $8.95.

The menu is expected to expand in early April to six recipes every week, including vegetarian options.

Dinnerly is now available to order in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and ACT.

Packaging News

Following the voluntary administration of Recycling Plastics Australia and confirmation that no Commonwealth packaging scheme will be introduced this term, voices from across the packaging and recycling value chain have delivered a blunt assessment of what is at stake.

Pact Group CEO and managing director Sanjay Dayal has advised the board that he intends to leave the company, with an executive search now under way for his successor.

With a Commonwealth packaging scheme ruled out this term, pressure is building ahead of the 18 September Environment Ministers Meeting, as industry, recyclers and environmental groups demand clarity on what meaningful national reform can still be delivered – and when.
