Called Bounce Bites, the on-the-go snacks are gluten-free, GMO-free, vegetarian-friendly and cold-pressed using natural ingredients.

The Australian-made recipe for the bites includes no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, or refined sugar, and there are three flavours: Blueberry Banana Bliss, Coconut Almond Kiss, and Coconut Cacao Delight.

Bounce commissioned Ace Packwell in Belrose, Sydney to make the pouches, which are designed for easy storage.

The recommended retail price for each pack is $6.95.

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.
