Nestlé Professional Beverage Solutions has created a range of ice blends for making '15-second smoothies'.

Targeted at the time-poor consumer, the Nestlé Sjora and Uncle Tobys Easy Ice Blends form a base for smoothies, frappes and crushes.

Each blend contains 75g of real fruit in every cup, and contains no artificial flavours or colours.

Easy Ice Blends come in four options; Berry Crush, Banana Oat, Mango and Pine Lime Coconut.

All that's needed is a blender, freezer space and water to mix up a quick smoothie.

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.
