Pic’s Peanut Butter has teamed up with New Zealand chocolatiers Whittaker’s to launch its Peanut & Chocolate Butter to Australian stores.

“Peanuts and chocolate have always gone well together, and the team have done a marvellous job of turning them into something I know lots of customers will find irresistible,” said Pic’s founder Pic Picot.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing this Pic’s Peanut & Chocolate Butter to Australians, as it’s been going nuts in New Zealand since its launch in late January.”

The Peanut & Chocolate Butter combines Pic’s crunchy peanuts with Whittaker’s Creamy Milk & Dark Ghana Chocolate 72 per cent, with a pinch of salt.

The 290g jar is now available in all Coles stores, and in Woolworths & independent stores from the end of May nationwide for RRP $9.00.

Following the voluntary administration of Recycling Plastics Australia and confirmation that no Commonwealth packaging scheme will be introduced this term, voices from across the packaging and recycling value chain have delivered a blunt assessment of what is at stake.

Pact Group CEO and managing director Sanjay Dayal has advised the board that he intends to leave the company, with an executive search now under way for his successor.

With a Commonwealth packaging scheme ruled out this term, pressure is building ahead of the 18 September Environment Ministers Meeting, as industry, recyclers and environmental groups demand clarity on what meaningful national reform can still be delivered – and when.
