A new online store, Just a Crumb, has launched to support Australian bakeries in reducing food waste – offering consumers cake offcuts and leftover treats that might otherwise go to waste, delivered to the door.

Located at justacrumb.com.au, the new site is founded on the principle of reducing food waste, partnering with local bakeries to rescue cake offcuts and delivering them around Australia for a more affordable price. Officially launched on 30 June, the site currently offers a range of products, including cakes, slices, and cookies.

Just a Crumb founder, Simon Shuster, said the company believes the best part of the cake isn't just the first slice – it's every bit of it.

“Our mission is simple: to make incredible sweet treats accessible and enjoyable, while also making a positive impact on food waste. Every crumb has a story, and now, every crumb finds a happy home,” said Shuster.

Head to JustACrumb.com.au to check out the range of sustainably-sourced sweet treats, now available for delivery Australia-wide.

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.
