In this regular monthly podcast, industry insiders Lindy Hughson and Wayne Robinson provide insight, analysis and commentary on the top news stories shaping change in Australia’s dynamic packaging industry.

We discuss our progress for the 2025 National Packaging Targets, updates in the soft plastics saga, and the launch of a Container Deposit Scheme in Victoria. We also review the exciting developments in paper-based flexible packaging from Mars Wrigley, along with its investment in plant upgrades, and Amcor’s launch of its circular polymer material for flexibles in the ANZ market.
