Australian actress and model Olympia Valance and entrepreneur Jeff Gobbels have joined forces to launch Splash Vodka, a low-calorie, ready-to-drink alcohol made from only three ingredients.

Splash Vodka has no sugar and contains only local vodka, soda water and natural flavour for its two varieties, Lime and Raspberry.

Valance said the team managed to create a clean formula for the products without skimping on the taste.

“To me, my investment in an Australian company, along with a product that I love and truly believe in was a no brainer,” she said.

“Everyone knows that I love to wind down at the end of a long work week with a drink, but this doesn’t mean I want to sacrifice my fitness goals in the process. No one wants to feel guilty about what they’re putting into their bodies when they should just be focusing on enjoying the present moment.”

Splash Vodka is made in small batch runs and is 100 per cent Australian made and owned.

It is now available in four-packs for RRP $20.00 and cases of 24 for $99.00.

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.
