Bulletproof added off-center accents and thick bases to the letter E. The triangular shape of the case is retained, but the black is swapped for blue in the logo's shadow, and the bottom of the logo overlaps a panel crease.

The Matterhorn artwork has been reworked and now appears above the logo. The new illustration of the Matterhorn preserves the hidden bear, a symbol of Bern, Switzerland.

Fanta is unifying its global brand identity for the first time, with a new logo set to roll out across all of its markets.

Until now Fanta has had an entirely different logo and packaging design in the US compared to its international markets. While the US stuck with the rounded logo introduced in 2010, in 2017 the drink rebranded in the UK and adopted a logo with a more angular font and a green leaf motif, surrounded by a coloured circle to match the flavour. Most of Fanta’s other markets use the same logo as the UK, though some have slight variations.

While their commitment to sustainability was commended, the transition would introduce a few headaches for fans. Zero plastic meant removing the window film, meaning there was no way to look at the figure before buying. Instead, being presented with merely an image of the toy printed on the box. This seemed to turn off some mint on the card collectors while also raising concerns regarding unsatisfactory paint apps. There were also reports of dishonest customers swapping out the figures, replacing some of the more sought-after collectibles with less desirable releases.

Charl Bassil, global VP Absolut, said: "Absolut Vodka has a rich heritage of collaborations and partnerships, and the brand is working towards developing packaging solutions that consumers want and our planet needs. Absolut remains committed to a sustainable future in which it continues to mix things up, with recyclable lighter paper-based bottles to complement Absolut’s iconic glass bottles. This ground-breaking test takes Absolut a step closer to that becoming a reality."

Industry will be forced to do more to cut waste and boost recycling after Australia’s federal and state governments agreed for the first time to impose mandatory packaging rules on manufacturers and retailers.

The agreement, at a meeting of environment ministers in Sydney on Friday, was welcomed by conservationists as a major breakthrough after years of voluntary industry action has failed to reduce waste.

The federal environment minister, Tanya Plibersek, said the “historic agreement” meant packaging would be “subject to strict new government rules”.

The dashboard offers access to metrics, orders, marketing plans and environmental compliance information all in one central location.
