South Australian based Twenty Third Street Distillery has launched its Violet Gin in a new RTD can, mixed with a sugar-free tonic.

The Violet Gin RTD can is also vegan, gluten-free and contains 82 calories.

The Violet Gin – made with Lemon myrtle, finger lime and pepper berry – are in cans designed with artwork from South Australian artist Claire Ishino.

Claire Ishino spent several years living and working in Japan, making washi paper collages, resin and silver jewellery before returning to Adelaide where she now concentrates on producing gouache or acrylic paintings and black and white illustrations.

Ishino says her work is inspired by her love of colour, repetition and pattern.

The Twenty Third Street Distillery Violet Gin & Tonic is available online, at Dan Murphys and selected retailers nationally for an RRP of $25 for a pack of four.

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.
