Arnott's has put a modern twist on some of its classic biscuits with the introduction of the Twisted Faves range.

The company has given its Monte Carlo a salted caramel edge with a new salty cream filling. As for the Shortbread Cream, Arnott's added strawberries – making it Strawberries & Cream. And the original Delta Cream biscuit received an orangey twist with a citrus and milk flavour combination.

The biscuit revamp was in celebration of Arnott's 150-year anniversary, and these the first new flavours to come from the company in 10 years.

Recommended retail price for each pack is $2.69.

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.
