As Australian soft drink company Bobby turns one and celebrates the success of three new flavours over the summer months, its range is launching in Coles.

Bobby is a “no-compromise, full-flavoured healthier option soft drink, that tastes just like the classics we know and love with added prebiotics for a healthy gut”, the company said.

Launched by Kristian Johannsen, who had previously worked at Minor Figures and Capi, Bobby is positioned as a, “low-calorie, low-sugar drink perfect for consumers who still want to enjoy a classic refreshing soft drink without all the crap”.   

It launched with four classic flavours – Cola, Orange, Lemon, and Berry – and released three new flavours over summer – Ginger Beer, Passion Fruit, and Creamy Soda.

Coles started ranging Bobby’s Cola and Creamy Soda in mid-April.

Packaging News

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.

A cross-sector open letter is urging national leaders to agree on a pathway for regulated producer responsibility schemes at the September Environment Ministers Meeting.
