Coca-Cola Australia has launched a new variety called Coca-Cola Orange No Sugar.

Orange was chosen to become the newest limited-edition flavour because it ranks in the top five most popular fruits in Australia, with one in three Australian grocery shoppers purchasing oranges at the checkout.

Aimed at young adults, the new sugar-free flavour follows the release of Coca-Cola Raspberry, Coca-Cola Plus Coffee No Sugar, and Coca-Cola Ginger.

Influencers including ‘insta-famous’ Melbourne artist Chilli Philly, illustrator Mark Conlan, novice baker BakedByAndres and blogger PaulPayaSalad have all come on board to create and share content as part of the launch campaign.

The hint of orange flavour is designed to offer a citrusy note to palates and complement other limited-edition flavours.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
