Speciality coffee roaster Toby’s Estate has launched its new Single Serve Coffee Bags, with the aim for consumers to enjoy a barista-made coffee without the need for a machine.

Toby’s estate is looking to remove the stigma around instant coffee with its new single serve bags, as it targets consumers needing an “easy way to make a cup of coffee anytime, anywhere”.

The Single Serve Coffee Bags are also 100 per cent biodegradable, with the outer packaging made using renewable and compostable materials.

As part of the launch, Toby’s Estate will be giving away 1,000 free coffees in activation spaces in Melbourne and Sydney to sample the coffee and enter the draw to win a year’s supply of coffee.

Toby’s Estate activation spaces will be held in Melbourne’s Southern Cross Station on 21 and 22 February, and in Sydney’s World Square on 28 February and Chatswood Mall on 29 February.

 

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.
