With two weeks to go before The Convenience Culture LIVE Breakfast Forum is staged in Melbourne, here's a look at who's coming, and why you should join them.

In recent months there has been a veritable proliferation of on-the-go snack and ready meal product launches, so it comes as no surprise that there's high interest in a forum covering the convenience megatrend, and particularly in how it is influencing new product development, and also our packaging choices. This will be the focus of the Food & Drink Business LIVE Breakfast Forum, to be held on 12 October at Arts Centre in Melbourne.

Packaging News

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.
