Last month, ABCL CEO Geoff Parker attended the Solving Plastic Waste CRC Annual Partners Conference in Brisbane, where ABCL is proud to be an industry partner supporting a project on better understanding the presence of micro- and nanoplastics in the Australian agricultural supply chain, focusing on apples.

A highlight of the event was meeting our project’s PhD researcher, Apeksha Goswami, whose project poster was recognised with the “Outstanding Poster Award” at the Conference Dinner.

Congratulations, Apeksha, on this well-deserved achievement. We are proud to support this important research and look forward to seeing the project progress👏🎉♻️

The Australian Beverages Council’s ESR30 Sustainability Education Program is expanding to alcohol manufacturers across Australia.

Originally developed for non-alcoholic beverage companies, ESR30 provides practical, manufacturing-focused training across areas including carbon footprint management, decarbonisation and net zero planning, energy and water efficiency, waste management, sustainable procurement and packaging.

The virtual program is designed to help businesses and their teams build sustainability capability, identify practical actions and progress their sustainability journey.

With growing expectations from customers, regulators and supply chains, the program provides particularly valuable support for small and medium-sized manufacturers without dedicated sustainability teams.
