Champagne house Pommery has released its 2020 World Collection, Wax. The collection pays homage to the world’s second largest continent, Africa, and its traditional wax prints.

The bespoke range features three limited edition multicoloured gift boxes, which showcase the coloured motives of wax prints, a hallmark of African culture and fabrics.

Pommery has been creating brut style champagne since 1874. The cuvées available in the Wax range include Brut Royal, Brut Rosé and Brut Apanage Blanc de Blancs. 

Pommery Brut Royal NV is composed of 40 crus and a traditional champagne blend - chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier - with citrus notes.

Pommery Brut Rosé NV adds a touch of Boozy Grand Cru Pinot Noir resulting in a pale pink, delicate rosé.

Pommery Apanage Blanc de Blancs NV is 100 per cent chardonnay with a fresh and complex flavour.

The range will be available in all major stockists from December.

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.
