Hydration brand, Liquid I.V., is bringing its Hydration Multiplier drink mix to Costco Australia, expanding its retail footprint to meet demand.

The Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier was first introduced in Australia in March, stocked in Chemist Warehouse. Unilever, the parent company of Liquid I.V., established a local manufacturing facility to support the brand’s success.

The company states that Hydration Multiplier is a science-backed electrolyte drink mix, scientifically formulated to deliver faster hydration than water alone.

Unilever Australia & New Zealand health & wellbeing lead, Clare Standing, said that there had been an enthusiastic response from Australians praising the taste, ease and convenience of Liquid I.V.

“We’re thrilled to bring Liquid I.V. to Costco Australia following a successful rollout in late March. In the US, Liquid I.V. consistently leads powdered hydration sales at Costco and we aim to translate this success in Australia.”

Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier Lemon Lime Electrolyte Drink Mix is available at Costco for RRP $39.99 for a 30 pack.

Packaging News

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.

A cross-sector open letter is urging national leaders to agree on a pathway for regulated producer responsibility schemes at the September Environment Ministers Meeting.
