Wild Hibiscus Flower Company is getting into the holiday spirit with its 2019 Gingle Bells Gin set, featuring six floral gin baubles, crafted in the company’s own distillery.

Each of the baubles are hand made by Wild Hibiscus Glower Co, all of which are infused with six different natural botanicals for a distinctive flavour and colour.

Co-creator of the Gingle Bells Gin concept Lee Etherington said they received extremely positive feedback last year for initial launch of the product.

“Many customers bought multiple boxes to give as gifts to friends, family and colleagues, and they reported it really created the ‘wow’ factor as it’s such a unique gift,” said Etherington.

“We’re also very excited to be taking control over the production of the gin this year.”

Each flavour is also accompanied with a cocktail recipe inside the gift set.

The Wild Hibiscus Flower Co Gingle Bell Gin set features Finger Lime, B’Lure Butterfly Pea Flower, Wattleseed, Snow Chrysanthemum, Wild Hibiscus and Pepperberry flavours.

The product can be purchased online and in select stockists for RRP$79.00.

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.
