<hr />
<p><strong>INCHEON SOUTH KOREA- 10 August 2026 — As the European Union&#8217;s new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) takes effect this Wednesday, August 12 — reshaping the rules for compostable and bio-based packaging entering the EU market — bioplastics associations from across the globe have agreed to strengthen their collaboration, sharing knowledge and working together to win greater recognition for the sector&#8217;s role in the circular economy.</strong></p>
<p>The commitment followed a meeting of global bioplastics peak-body leaders in Incheon, South Korea on Friday, 7 August, where Australasian Bioplastics Association (ABA) CEO Martine Poulain represented Australia and New Zealand. The meeting, convened by Dr In-Joo Chin, President of the Korean Bioplastics Association, followed the 2026 Global Conference on Sustainable Plastics at Songdo Convensia. ABA has been a founding member of the alliance since 2016, alongside associations from Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and Thailand. Members agreed to retain the alliance&#8217;s current governance structure under a single president, and will now meet twice a year, with the next online meeting set for 10 March 2027. The next Global Conference on Sustainable Plastics has already been confirmed for Incheon in September 2027.</p>
<p>The timing is pointed for Australia, where inconsistent rules and public confusion over what “compostable” actually means have long held the sector back. South Australia introduced mandatory labelling requirements for certified compostable items earlier this year, giving consumers and processors a clearer way to identify genuine, certified products — the kind of consistency industry leaders say is needed more broadly, both within Australia and internationally.</p>
<p>With regulatory frameworks diverging by market both internationally and within Australia, industry leaders agreed that no single association can solve this alone, and committed to working more closely together. Leaders committed to:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>A joint advocacy framework</strong>, sharing resources and aligning messaging so each member association is better equipped to make the case for certified bioplastics in its own market.</li>
<li><strong>A shared communications initiative</strong>, equipping member associations to correct misinformation and reinforce, consistently, where bioplastics fit within circularity.</li>
<li><strong>An infrastructure knowledge-sharing network</strong>, exchanging successful international models for composting, organics collection and biogasification.</li>
</ul>
<p>“The EU’s new packaging rules landing this same week are a reminder of how fast the regulatory landscape is moving, market by market — and we see the same fragmentation here at home, state by state. Certified bioplastics only deliver on their promise as part of a genuine circular system. What changed on Friday is that we’re no longer working this out on our own here in Australia. We now have every major bioplastics association across the region and beyond sharing what’s working and backing each other up.”<br />
— Martine Poulain, CEO, ABA<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
For an industry that has too often worked out its answers alone, country by country, that collaboration is the real story. As regulation accelerates in Europe and infrastructure expands here at home, ABA and its international counterparts are no longer solving these problems in isolation — they’re sharing what works and solving them together.<br />

<p><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-17602" src="http://aipack.com.au/wp-content/uploads/result_group_Labelling_article_June2026_400px.jpg" alt="result_group_Labelling_article_June2026_400px" width="38%" height="26%" />Labelling waste is one of those hidden costs that quietly builds over time, often without drawing much attention until it starts impacting efficiency.</strong><br />
<strong>Extra materials, bins filling up with liner, constant roll changes, and the small but frequent interruptions on the line – all contribute to a process that is more resource-heavy than it first appears. While each element seems minor in isolation, together they can affect both operational flow and overall cost.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></strong><br />
In many cases, these inefficiencies aren’t immediately visible in reporting, but they show up in day-to-day operations through slower throughput, increased handling, and the need for additional labour to maintain output. It’s not something that usually gets attention until it starts affecting how the line actually performs.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
Across different operations, the same pattern continues to emerge: manual handling, frequent changeovers, and waste that is simply accepted as part of the process. As businesses look more closely at where time, labour, and materials are being absorbed, linerless labelling is starting to come into the conversation more often.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
Plus, it doesn’t mean walking away from traditional labelling – it’s about having the flexibility to support both, depending on what your operation needs.<br />
For many, it starts with a simple question: how much time, material, and labour is actually being absorbed by this part of the process?<br />
Solutions like the cab HERMES linerless print and apply system are designed for integration into production lines, enabling automatic printing and application of labels, reducing downtime through fewer roll changes, and supporting a wide range of materials and applications.<br />
Its compatibility with existing applicators and setups also allows businesses to transition without major disruption, making it easier to adopt linerless alongside current processes.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
The result is a more efficient, consistent, and flexible labelling approach, with less waste, fewer interruptions, improved use of labour, and measurable cost savings over time. It also supports broader sustainability goals by reducing material waste and minimising what ends up in the waste stream.<br />
That’s the shift, and for many, it starts with taking a closer look at what’s already happening on the line.<br />

<h3>2025 AIP Career &amp; Salary Survey report now available for AIP Members: Request your copy today</h3>
<p><strong>For the fifth consecutive year the AIP has released the key findings from the 2025 Career &amp; Salary Survey for the Food, Beverage and wider industries.</strong></p>
<p>According to AIP Executive Director, Nerida Kelton FAIP, the Australasian Career &amp; Salary Survey report was developed to provide a more detailed breakdown of the people who make up the industry including their roles, education, experience, career satisfaction, concerns and salaries. The survey and results cover the industry across Australia, New Zealand and Asia.</p>
<p>“The 2025 Career &amp; Salary report provides not only salaries, and career-related data, but it also highlights the growing level of technical packaging professionals within the industry. Now more than ever, with Extended Producer Responsibility and eco-modulation coming to the Australasian region we need to see more technically skilled packaging professionals in the industry. Packaging Technologists and Engineers need to have the technical qualifications to ensure that the packaging materials, designs and choices being made are fit for purpose, functional and offer the lowest environmental impact. This is where the AIP can help train packaging manufacturers, suppliers, brands and retailers to have the most technically-competent teams in readiness for the next era of packaging design.” Mrs Kelton said.</p>
<p>AIP Education Director, Prof Pierre Pienaar FAIP, CCPL added that ‘If you are growing your team, or simply need to retain the talent you have, then the AIP Career &amp; Salary Report provides the insights to ensure that you have the most qualified team in place to keep your business moving in the right direction,”</p>
<p>“The 2025 Career &amp; Salary Survey once again shows how well qualified the people are that work in our industry. Whilst the industry is very-well skilled, we still need to see more people technically qualified in the science, engineering and/or technology of packaging. Packaging is a science, and anyone that is a Packaging Technologist of engineer requires formal qualifications in the field,” Prof Pierre Pienaar said.</p>
<p>“The AIP is here to fill technical packaging knowledge gaps for everyone that works in, and around packaging. Knowledge can be attained through our training courses, workshops, forums, webinars, the Fundamentals of Packaging Technology course, Certificate in Packaging Technology, Diploma in Packaging Technology, the Master of Food &amp; Packaging Innovation degree and the Certified Packaging Professional designation. The more packaging professionals in the Australasian region that undertake education and training through the AIP, the more informed and technically-sound packaging decisions will be made, for the overall betterment of the company and the industry. ” he said.</p>

<hr />
<p><strong>Soft Fruit Lidding Film: Starbarrier GPE CL AF 18PET by Camvac Rockwell</strong><br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-17558" src="http://aipack.com.au/wp-content/uploads/national_Resources_Camvac_Rockwell_450px.jpg" alt="national_Resources_Camvac_Rockwell_450px" width="45%" height="30%" />Starbarrier GPE CL AF 18PET has been introduced as a next generation mono material lidding film designed to help food producers cut plastic, streamline operations and improve consumer experience. The film launches at a time when retailers and brand owners are demanding both reduced environmental impact and more reliable pack performance.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
Engineered as a lightweight 18µ PET solution, Starbarrier GPE CL AF delivers clean, consistent peelability &#8211; addressing long standing issues with traditional multi layer laminates that often tear or leave residue on trays.  Early adopters report that the film peels off in one piece, maintains strong yet controlled seal integrity and improves burst strength across fresh and frozen applications.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
A key advantage is its universal sealing capability.  Starbarrier GPE CL AF can be sealed to aluminium, polypropylene and emerging paperboard tray formats, allowing producers to consolidate SKUs and prepare for future shifts toward fibre based packaging. This versatility also supports smoother line performance, with improved dwell times and more stable sealing.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
As brands continue to push for lower impact packaging, Starbarrier GPE CL AF 18PET positions itself as a practical, scalable step toward mono material systems &#8211; offering measurable reductions in plastic use while enhancing the overall functionality of lidding films.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
<strong>FOR BEAUTIFUL FOOD</strong><br />
<strong> Smoothwall Trays by Cuki</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-17562" src="http://aipack.com.au/wp-content/uploads/national_Resources_cukil_450px.jpg" alt="national_Resources_cukil_450px" width="45%" height="34%" />Cuki’s black smoothwall trays are fast becoming a quiet hero in premium food presentation. Their glossy black surface creates instant contrast, making colours appear richer, textures more defined and meals more appetising.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
Unlike standard aluminium trays, the smoothwall finish gives food a clean, modern backdrop. Beyond aesthetics, the trays offer the functional performance producers rely on &#8211; oven ready, freezer ready, robust through distribution and compatible with a wide range of lidding films.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
But it’s the visual impact that sets them apart. They help brands elevate ready meals, premium convenience dishes and chef crafted ranges without changing a single recipe.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
For producers looking to differentiate on shelf, Cuki’s black smoothwall trays deliver an immediate upgrade: a simple packaging choice that makes food look fresher, more premium and undeniably more beautiful.  Matching RPET clip on lids also pair seamlessly with the smoothwall tray structure, maintaining a clean, modern look while ensuring the product remains visible and protected.<br />
<span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span><br />
