PepsiCo has launched a new Doritos flavour to promote the new Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom movie.

The packs reference the Universal Studios release, and inside are large, lava-coloured, Chargrilled Steak-flavoured chips.

The new flavour offers a smoky, meaty experience reminiscent of an Aussie barbecue.

An on-pack promotion across all Doritos flavours will also give consumers the chance to win a trip to Hawaii as well as $500 daily cash card prizes.

PepsiCo also organised a 'dinosaur stampede' in Sydney's CBD this week, with samples and movie passes given to passers-by.

Doritos Colossal Chargrilled Steak is available in 80g packs in petrol and convenience stores, and 150g packs in all supermarkets.

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom will be released in cinemas on 21 June.

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.
