‘Unwrapping Innovation’, a bite-sized summary that captures critical conversations shaping the future of sustainable packaging for the nation’s F&B sector. The report includes insights from an industry panel chaired at the launch of FaBA’s Sustainable Packaging Trends Report. It brings together perspectives from leaders tackling one of the sector’s most pressing challenges: how to move beyond good intentions and into action.
Susie Khamis writes that in the early 1930s, the Bushells brand of tea faced a market dampened by the grim mood of the Great Depression. In response and in contrast to the images it had pursued just a few years earlier, Bushells integrated a discourse of judicious consumption into its advertising. Sensitive to the atmosphere of caution and restraint, yet also mindful of middle-class aspirations, the brand forged a unique point of difference that would survive the recession.
The objective of this two-day course is to familiarise Defence and Industry participants with the requirements of the Australian Industrial Capability (AIC) contractual framework across the procurement life cycle.

This publication is not a substitute for specialist legal and contracting advice and users should obtain advice where appropriate.
The report examines technological lessons from the war in Ukraine, showing how drones, electronic warfare, AI, software integration and space-based systems have reshaped modern warfare. Success now depends on adaptable, networked technologies and resilient industrial ecosystems rather than traditional platforms.
Australia’s food and beverage (F&B) manufacturers were set targets that all packaging they use is 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025. Despite policy implementation delays, actions to this end continue, including phasing out problematic and unnecessary single-use plastics packaging. A major risk exists that as F&B producers move to new packaging formats, they will lose shelf life, create undesirable product attributes, and in the process increase food loss and waste (FLW). This project is aimed to assist SME firms to transition to sustainable packaging
Private Cameron Robison states, that according to the Chief of Army’s Capability Intent (CACI), the Army, and individual soldiers by association, must be capable of engaging in sustained close combat in order to win the land battle. Fundamental to CACI is the notion that the capacity of Australian Army soldiers to engage in close combat must be both ‘optimised’ and ‘sustainable’. While the provision of all classes of supply is important to optimising and sustaining the performance of soldiers engaged in close combat, the provision of sustenance items, namely food and water, is vital to enhancing the capacity of soldiers to achieve enduring tactical success on the battlefield.
