Center for Disease Analysis Foundation Awards Third Round of Grants for the CDAF Relink Program

 LAFAYETTE, Colo. - Saturday, 05. April 2025 AETOSWire

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Building on the progress of the first two rounds, the Center for Disease Analysis Foundation (CDAF) Relink program is pleased to announce seven hundred and eighty-two thousand dollars in funding for its third round of grantees. The following six organizations are beneficiaries:

The CDAF Relink program is in its second year of operation. Funded by an eight-million-dollar grant from the Gilead Sciences (Nasdaq: GILD) Relink program, it is currently the largest global effort to reconnect diagnosed but untreated Hepatitis C (HCV) and Hepatitis B (HBV) infected individuals to care. This is a crucial step toward achieving the World Health Organization’s 2030 Viral Hepatitis Elimination goals in the United States (U.S.). Significant progress has been made toward elimination in the last decade. However, increasing the number of HCV-infected people who complete treatment and are cured, or HBV-infected people who are retained in care remains challenging.

“In the case of HCV, many high-income countries like the U.S. are considered early adopters, that is, they were on the frontlines of diagnosis and treatment for HCV,” noted Homie Razavi, the Managing Director of CDA Foundation. “However, due to fragmented patient management systems, many diagnosed individuals are lost to follow up. It is possible that more than half of the population believed to be diagnosed but untreated may already be receiving care somewhere or have passed away. Additionally, organizational and legal constraints often prevent organizations from fully leveraging patient navigators to engage with the community and link individuals from high-risk groups to appropriate care. However, implementing culturally appropriate and innovative programs which meet patients at their point of need is sure to improve relinkage to care.”

Fundisani Mangena, Chief Operating Officer of First Choice Primary Care, believes the initiative will make a lasting impact on the well-being of the community served by his organization. “This funding supports our mission to improve health outcomes by closing treatment gaps and ensuring patients receive timely, life-changing care,” he stated. “Treatments and medications have come a long way,” said Tuesdae Stainbrook, D.O., MPH, chief investigator of TruReach Inc, another beneficiary. “These funds will help break down barriers that have prevented patients from engaging in care upon diagnosis.”

The call for a fourth and final round of proposals will open in September 2025. Proposals from state health agencies and their partners will be given priority. For more information, please visit https://cdafound.org/relink or contact the CDAF-Relink program at relink@cdafound.org.

It works with more than 110 countries globally and 26 US states on their viral hepatitis elimination programs. CDA Foundation is headquartered in Lafayette.

 MILAN - Saturday, 05. April 2025 AETOSWire Print 

Vision for Growth, Innovation, and Consumer Engagement

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--REJO, a global provider of heat-not-burn(HNB) solutions, proudly unveils its refreshed brand identity and strategic expansion into the European market, which is a meaningful milestone in its journey of growth and innovation. Known for crafting innovative and reliable products, REJO’s new visual identity reflects its progressive approach to advancing the industry.

Strategic Market Entry into Europe

Building on its steady progress in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, REJO is now poised to tackle the challenges of the European market with a focus on Switzerland and the Czech Republic with its diverse product range and market adaptability. Recognizing the rising demand for herbal alternatives, REJO is making thoughtful investments in heat-not-burn products, including TOZE herbal sticks, inspired by East Asia’s rich tradition of tea-based cigarettes.

Designed to deliver a refined user experience, TOZE herbal sticks pair seamlessly with REJO HS40, the company’s signature heating device, ensuring optimal flavor and consistency. This tailored approach positions REJO as a reliable provider of innovative alternatives in European HNB market.

A Fresh Look for a New Chapter

“Take a Break. Take REJO.”

With a renewed vision, REJO unveils a refreshed brand identity alongside a new slogan that underscores its commitment to offering innovative alternatives to traditional smoking. The brand now features a vibrant color palette, centered around a warm, inviting shade of green-symbolizing comfort, relaxation and a natural connection to the essence of the product.

The redesigned brand icon, featuring an extended “O” with a petal-like shape, highlights REJO’s advanced heating technology and reflects the brand’s commitment to innovation. This change aligns with REJO’s mission to empower individuals with mindful alternatives that redefine the smoking experience, while embracing the smoke-free future alongside its global partners.

REJO aims to be a trusted companion during those brief five-minute pauses in life, offering a diverse range of alternatives that support the journey toward a mindful lifestyle. Through ongoing innovation, REJO is driving change and inspiring an elevated way of living for consumers around the world.

Commitment to Innovation

The TOZE brand name embodies REJO’s commitment to join a smoke-free future, symbolizing the combination of “TO-bacco ZE-ro”.

Leveraging the well-established expertise in tea-based cigarettes from East Asia, REJO has innovated a unique herbal stick formulation that combines natural tea fibers, nicotine, and precisely balanced flavors. After over 300 product trials, REJO has perfected a formula that enhances aroma absorption while delivering a rich, full-bodied experience with every use.

Paired with the REJO HS40 heating device-boasting an impressive 40-stick capacity per charge-this combination delivers a smoother, more consistent flavor profile.

Strengthening Market Presence in Europe

REJO is strengthening its foothold in Europe, starting with the Czech Republic and Switzerland. Following a recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with a Czech distributor, REJO is poised to further expand TOZE’s footprint across the region. This initiative is part of a broader market strategy to establish a strong European presence.

Early market feedback from France, particularly among traditional tobacco retailers, has underscored the growing demand for TOZE products. Praised for their consistent aroma and reduced smoke odor, TOZE herbal sticks are well-positioned to meet the rising market demand for flavored alternatives.

Localized Growth and Consumer Engagement

REJO’s European expansion goes beyond product availability-it’s about building lasting connections with consumers. The company is actively recruiting industry professionals who embody its brand spirits:

“Stay Courageous, Be Undefined.”

To ensure a seamless market entry, REJO has secured key regulatory approvals, including: Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) registration, Poison Centre Notification (PCN) compliance, and Track-and-Trace registration.

Additionally, REJO is launching the REJO Club Fans Community, blending online interactions with offline events to create meaningful brand experiences and foster deeper connections with local users. By redefining the traditional five-minute break, REJO seeks to engage consumers through interactive experiences that go beyond product use, exploring new possibilities while meeting consumer needs.

Global Expansion and Continued Growth

While Europe remains a key focus, REJO continues to expand its global footprint, with products now available in nearly 10,000 retail outlets across Russia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. With a diversified product portfolio and the flexibility to adapt to various markets, REJO is poised for continued growth.

In Southeast Asia, REJO has rapidly expanded its presence, securing distribution in convenience stores and lifestyle locations. In Indonesia, the brand has established brand booths in cafés and dining bars, integrating e-commerce solutions for greater accessibility.

In the Middle East, REJO has solidified its presence through an exclusive partnership agreement at World Tobacco Dubai 2024 and a major distributor event in Dubai, engaging over 20 secondary distributors.

These efforts reflect REJO’s commitment to scalable, sustainable growth in key markets worldwide.

Pioneering the Future of Heat-Not-Burn Solutions

As REJO continues its global expansion, the company remains committed to its mission of redefining the smoking experience through innovation, reliability, and sustainability. With a strong foundation in place and ambitious plans for growth in Europe and beyond, REJO is committed to delivering reliable alternatives that empower consumers to make informed choices about their smoking experience.

“We remain flexibility in adapting to the changing market. By integrating market insights with technological advancements, we are confident that our European expansion will strengthen our position within the HNB industry,” said Li. “We believe in the potential of this market and are dedicated to creating reliable, accessible alternatives that cater to the evolving needs of global consumers.”

Gradiant Wins Gold at Edison Awards 2025 for ForeverGone PFAS Removal and Destruction

 ForeverGone is the industry’s first all-in-one solution to permanently eliminate PFAS “forever chemicals” in municipal and industrial water

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater treatment, today announced that its ForeverGone solution was honored at the 2025 Edison Awards with the Gold award. This prestigious recognition highlights Gradiant’s leadership in sustainability and technological innovation, reinforcing its commitment to addressing PFAS contamination, one of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or “forever chemicals,” are persistent synthetic chemicals found in industrial, municipal, and landfill waters. Linked to serious health risks such as cancer, immune disorders, and developmental issues, PFAS have become a global public health crisis. Gradiant’s ForeverGone is the industry’s first integrated solution that not only removes PFAS from contaminated water sources but also permanently destroys them on-site, without the risk of releasing toxic chemicals back into the environment.

The Edison Awards, now in their 38th year, recognize excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design, and innovation. Finalists are selected by a peer-related voting body, made up of top executives, academics, and innovation leaders from around the world.

“For years, industries and municipalities have struggled with how to fully eliminate PFAS without creating additional risks to the environment,” said Anurag Bajpayee, CEO of Gradiant. “ForeverGone finally provides a true end-to-end solution — one that concentrates and destroys PFAS at the source, ensuring these harmful chemicals are removed from nature permanently. This recognition from the Edison Awards affirms the transformative impact of our technology and our mission to deliver clean water solutions at a global scale.”

Gradiant’s ForeverGone technology, independently validated by multiple accredited laboratories, pairs Micro-Foam Fractionation and Destruction Engine to concentrate PFAS into a micro-foamate and then destroy it using electro-oxidation, delivering water that meets or exceeds the latest US EPA drinking water standards. This integrated approach sets new standards for simplicity, efficiency, and sustainability, delivering comprehensive PFAS removal at the lowest total cost.

Gradiant is rapidly deploying ForeverGone across industries including semiconductors, food & beverage, mining, and major municipalities, ensuring PFAS remediation becomes more accessible to communities worldwide.

Are you interested in ForeverGone for your site? Gradiant has introduced a free testing program to demonstrate ForeverGone’s ability to treat a wide range of contaminated waters. Interested parties should contact Gradiant at gradiant.com/pfas-forevergone/.

حصول Barilla على المركز الأول بين شركات الأغذية في العالم من حيث السمعة في تقرير RepTrak® 100‎ لعام 2025

 بارما، إيطاليا - الجمعة, 04. أبريل 2025 أيتوس واير  

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- تفتخر مجموعة Barilla Group بالإعلان عن صعودها في تصنيفات المؤشر Global RepTrak® 100‎، لتصبح الرائدة في قطاع الأغذية لعامين متتاليين. ولقد حققت المجموعة المركز 25 عالميًا، متقدمة بأربعة مراكز مقارنة بعام 2024، حين احتلت المركز 29. وتعكس هذه النتيجة، التي تم تحقيقها بفضل جهود موظفي المجموعة في شتى أنحاء العالم، تركيزها المستمر على جودة منتجاتها وخدماتها، والإدماج، والابتكار، والاستعداد لجمع شمل الناس بواسطة الطعام الطيب.

 مع وجودها في أكثر من 100 دولة و30 موقع إنتاج (15 في إيطاليا و15 في الخارج)، تنتج مجموعة Barilla Group أكثر من 2 مليون طن من المنتجات كل عام. ومنذ عام 2010، أعادت المجموعة صياغة نحو 500 منتج لتحسين قيمتها الغذائية، من خلال تقليل الدهون، والدهون المشبعة، والملح، والسكر، أو زيادة محتوى الألياف.

 وتماشيًا مع التزامها بتعزيز الشمولية، حققت المجموعة في فرنسا درجة 100% على مؤشر المساواة بين الجنسين Professional Gender Equality Index1 هذا العام، وقد تم تصميم المؤشر كأداة عملية لتعزيز المساواة في الأجور داخل الشركات. وبالمثل، في ألمانيا، حصلت المجموعة على جائزة المساواة في الأجور German Equal Pay Award الألمانية في عام 20242 من وزيرة تكافؤ الفرص الاتحادية، ما يسلط الضوء على جهود المجموعة في تنفيذ المساواة في الأجور.

 بهدف تقديم طعام جيد للناس، تسعى Barilla إلى الابتكار من خلال خطة استثمار بقيمة مليار يورو تم الإعلان عنها في عام 2023 وعلى مدى السنوات الخمس التالية، سيتم تعزيز القدرة الإنتاجية وتحسين الكفاءة التشغيلية وتعزيز البحث والتطوير. ويتضمن ذلك مركزًا جديدًا للبحث والتطوير في بارما، في منشأة تبلغ مساحتها 20 ألف متر مربع مصممة لتعزيز التعاون وتوليد الأفكار والبحث عن طرق جديدة للزراعة المبتكرة. ويدعم الاستثمار أيضًا تجديد التصنيع في أنحاء العالم كافة، وتحديث خطوط التعبئة والتغليف والإنتاج في مختلف المواقع، وحلول كفاءة الطاقة، ومنشآت الإنتاج الذاتي للطاقة المتجددة.

وأخيرًا، فإن العلاقة مع سلسلة التوريد الخاصة بمجموعة Barilla لها أهمية بالغة لا سيَّما في ظل التحديات التي نواجهها اليوم، مثل جودة المواد الخام وكمياتها، إلى جانب الحاجة إلى دعم سلوكيات الاستهلاك المستدامة بشكل متزايد. ولهذا السبب، دعمت Barilla برنامجًا يهدف إلى تعزيز العلاقة الطويلة الأمد مع المزارعين. يُعرف هذا البرنامج باسم "Accademia del Basilico"، التي تم إطلاقها في يناير 2025، وهو برنامج تدريبي شامل مصمم لتمكين المزارعين وتعليمهم التقنيات والممارسات اللازمة لزراعة الريحان المستدامة.

Barilla Ranks as the First Food Company in the World for Reputation in the 2025 Global RepTrak® 100

 PARMA, Italy - Thursday, 03. April 2025 AETOSWire

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Barilla Group is proud to announce its rise in the Global RepTrak® 100 rankings, emerging as the leading company in the food sector two years running. The company has secured the 25th position worldwide, moving up four spots compared to 2024, where it held the 29th position. This result, achieved thanks to the efforts of the Group’s people worldwide, reflects its continued focus on the quality of its products and services, inclusion, innovation, and willingness to bring people together through good food.

With a presence in over 100 countries and 30 production sites (15 in Italy and 15 abroad), Barilla Group produces more than 2 million tons of products each year. Since 2010, it has reformulated nearly 500 products to improve their nutritional profile, reducing fats, saturated fats, salt, and sugar, or increasing fiber content.

Aligned with its commitment to fostering inclusivity, in France the company has achieved a 100% score on the Professional Gender Equality Index1 this year, an index designed as a practical tool to advance pay equality within companies. Similarly, in Germany, the company received the German Equal Pay Award in 20242 from the Federal Minister for Equal Opportunities, highlighting its efforts in implementing equal pay.

With the aim of offering people good food, Barilla strives to innovate with a €1 billion investment plan announced in 2023 and over the following 5 years, will strengthen production capacity, enhance operational efficiency, and advance research and development. This includes a new R&D hub in Parma: a 20,000 m2 facility designed to foster collaboration, generate ideas and research new methods for innovative agriculture. The investment also supports manufacturing renovations worldwide, upgrades in packaging and production lines across various locations, energy efficiency solutions, and renewable energy self-production installations.

Finally, the relationship with Barilla’s supply chain is crucial especially considering today’s challenges, such as the quality and quantity of raw materials, coupled with the need to increasingly support sustainable consumption behaviors. Barilla therefore supported a program to nurture the long-standing relationship with farmers. This is known as “Accademia del Basilico”, launched in January 2025: a comprehensive training program designed to empower farmers and teach techniques and practices for sustainable basil cultivation.
