C8 is said to deliver a “quick and direct energy source, which helps metabolise fat directly into ketones, a metabolic state of burning fat effectively for energy as opposed to glucose”.

Nootropic Oil has no chemicals, hexane, solvents or preservatives and is gluten-free. It joins Coco Earth’s current range, which includes Liquid Coconut Oil, MCT Oil, MCT Powder, and Grass-fed Ghee Butter.

Coco Earth’s Nootropic Oil is available In 250ml (25 serves) and 500ml (50 serves) sizes, and can be purchases on the Coco Earth website.

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.
