The team at Food & Drink Business is thrilled to announce the launch of its very own podcast.

This year has shown all of us the need to keep pushing ahead, try new things, develop new skills and to not “just keep swimming” but, in the words of my old school principal, “swim up and over the edge, up and over the edge”.

And so, we podcast! Food & Drink Business brings you your on the go bite of the food & beverage industry.

 Click here for our first episode.

Adding this latest edition to our multi-media platform is part of our commitment and determination to be the premier site the food and beverage sector turns to for news, insights, profiles and more.

Each episode will feature a discussion on an aspect of the industry. Interviews with CEOs, change drivers and industry experts, insights from start-ups to global companies, explorations into trends and consumer behaviour, foodtech and processing tech advances – it is all coming your way.

At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.

Pact has reported a decline in revenue and earnings for the first five months of FY26, citing subdued market demand, as chair Raphael Geminder pursues settlement of the long-running TIC earn-out dispute.

PKN brings you the top 20 clicks on our website this year, a healthy mix of surprise and no-surprise. Pro-Pac Packaging led the list, Women in Packaging came in at #4, and Zipform's paper bottle at #15.
