PUMA RE:SUEDE Pilot Project Turns Experimental Sneakers Into Compost

 HERZOGENAURACH, Germany - Wednesday, 29. November 2023



(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sports company PUMA showed that it can successfully turn an experimental version of its classic SUEDE sneaker into compost under certain tailor-made industrial conditions, as it announced the results of its two-year-long RE:SUEDE experiment.

In 2021, PUMA created 500 pairs of the experimental RE:SUEDE, using Zeology tanned suede, a TPE outsole and hemp fibres. The RE:SUEDEs were worn for half a year by volunteers in Germany to test the comfort and durability of the shoes before PUMA sent them to a specially equipped industrial composting area operated by its partner Ortessa Group in the Netherlands.

A special procedure had to be established to turn the shoes into compost. First, they were shredded and mixed with other green household waste and placed into a composting tunnel. They were then sprayed with leaching-water from earlier composting that contains nutrients and naturally heated due to the biological activity and controlled air circulation in the tunnel. After approximately 3.5 months, the materials that were small enough (<10mm) to pass through a sieve were sold as Grade A compost for agricultural use (within the standards of the Netherlands), while the remaining materials were returned to the composting tunnel until they too had broken down to the desired level (<10mm). Ortessa Group adhered to all legal requirements for compost applicable at their facilities in the Netherlands during this process.

“While the RE:SUEDE could not be processed under the standard operating procedures for industrial composting, the shoes did eventually turn into compost,” said Anne-Laure Descours, Chief Sourcing Officer at PUMA. “We will continue to innovate with our partners to determine the infrastructure and technologies needed to make the process viable for a commercial version of the RE:SUEDE, including a takeback scheme, in 2024.”

Transparency is another important pillar of the RE:SUEDE experiment, as PUMA will share its insights in a detailed report, so its peers and other interested stakeholders can learn from the experiment and apply the learnings to their own initiatives.

“We learned a lot during the RE:SUEDE trial and how to streamline our industrial composting process to include items that need longer to turn into compost,” said Marthien van Eersel Manager Materials & Innovations at Ortessa. “While all RE:SUEDE materials can decompose, the sole of the RE:SUEDE required more pre-processing and additional time in the composting tunnel to completely break down.”

As a result of the feedback received from the people who wore the RE:SUEDE for half a year, PUMA will improve the comfort of future versions of the shoes by enhancing the overall fit by using a new material pattern for the upper and the sock liner.

The RE:SUEDE experiment was the first programme, together with the novel polyester recycling programme RE:FIBRE, to launch as part of PUMA’s “Circular Lab”, an innovation hub led by PUMA’s innovation and design experts with the aim to create the future of the company’s circularity programmes.

Results From Galderma’s Phase IIIb Trials Demonstrate Rapid and Long-Lasting Effect of RelabotulinumtoxinA on Crow’s Feet and Frown Lines

 ZUG, Switzerland - Thursday, 30. November 2023





Both trials met their primary endpoints, demonstrating treatment with RelabotulinumtoxinA resulted in a statistically significant improvement in frown lines and crow’s feet.1,2

Results reinforce the rapid onset of action of RelabotulinumtoxinA, with some patients reporting improvement as early as day one in both trials.1,2

Results also underscore the durability of RelabotulinumtoxinA with at least a third of patients rating their frown lines as ‘improved’ or better through to month 12 in one study.2

Treatment was well tolerated and all treatment-related adverse events were reported as non-serious.1,2

 


(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Galderma announced today topline results from two phase IIIb trials investigating RelabotulinumtoxinA for the treatment of glabellar lines (GL – frown lines) and lateral canthal lines (LCL – crow’s feet). Both studies met their primary endpoints, demonstrating that RelabotulinumtoxinA, a novel liquid formulation botulinum toxin A, significantly improves both frown lines and crow’s feet, with a rapid onset of action as early as day one and long duration.1,2


 


“These results provide an additional layer of confidence in the long-lasting efficacy, speed and convenience of RelabotulinumtoxinA, which not only represents the innovation of our neuromodulator portfolio, but also demonstrates our commitment to responding to the real needs of healthcare professionals and patients.”

43QM2106 is a phase IIIb, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to assess the aesthetic improvement and onset of action of RelabotulinumtoxinA in patients with moderate to severe frown lines. The trial met its primary endpoint, with 92.9% of those treated with RelabotulinumtoxinA rating their frown lines as ‘improved’ or better on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) at month one, compared to 9.1% of those treated with placebo (P<0.001).1


Results reinforced the rapid onset of action and durability of RelabotulinumtoxinA, with 40% of patients rating themselves as ‘improved’ or better on the GAIS as early as day one, and more than a third (38%) of patients rating themselves as ‘improved’ or better at month 12. In addition, 68% and 43% of patients rated themselves as ‘improved’ or better at months six and nine respectively, and 40% of patients also reported at least a one grade improvement of frown line severity at month nine. RelabotulinumtoxinA was well tolerated; the majority of patients did not experience any adverse events and there were no related serious adverse events reported.1


43QM2107 is a phase IIIb, open-label, single-center study to assess aesthetic improvement of RelabotulinumtoxinA in patients with moderate to severe crow’s feet and frown lines. It also met its primary endpoint, with 100% of patients treated with RelabotulinumtoxinA rating their crow’s feet and frown lines as ‘improved’ or better on the GAIS at month one.2


RelabotulinumtoxinA demonstrated a rapid onset of action for both crow’s feet and frown lines, with the majority of patients (68% and 60% for crow’s feet and frown lines, respectively) rating themselves as ‘improved’ or better on the GAIS starting at day one. By day two, 100% of patients noted improvement for crow’s feet and 96% noted improvement for frown lines. This was reinforced by Subject Live Assessment results using a validated scale, which showed that 40% of patients on day one and 96% of patients on day four received a score of zero or one on a four-point scale for crow’s feet severity at maximum expression. For frown line severity, 32% of patients on day one and 92% of patients on day four received a score of zero or one. RelabotulinumtoxinA was well tolerated, with no adverse events reported in 92% of patients.2


Results from both studies are in line with those previously seen for RelabotulinumtoxinA.3,4

Adani Power to Co-fire Green Ammonia at its Mundra Plant for a Sustainable Future

AHMEDABAD, India - Wednesday, 29. November 2023
  • Green Ammonia, whose combustion produces no CO2 emission, to co-fire a 330MW Unit
  • APL is working with Japan’s IHI Corporation & KOWA for the pilot
  • The project is under the aegis of Japan-India Clean Energy Partnership


(BUSINESS WIRE)--As the world leaders converge in the UAE for the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 28) from 30 November to 12 December 2023 to fast-track energy transition and slash emissions before 2030, Adani Power Ltd., India’s largest private sector power generator, has undertaken a ground-breaking green ammonia combustion pilot project at its Mundra plant as part of its multipronged decarbonization initiatives.

As part of the project, the Mundra Plant, which is India’s largest private sector power plant, will co-fire up to 20% green ammonia in the boiler of a conventional coal fired 330MW Unit.

Green ammonia, produced from green hydrogen, which in turn is produced through electrolysis using renewable energy, would be a feedstock for the boilers. As ammonia contains no carbon, there is no CO2 emission from its combustion, making it a long-term carbon neutral alternative to fossil fuels. Adani Power has already set a benchmark in the industry for ‘per-unit’ emissions and has adopted state of the art ‘Ultra Supercritical technology’ in its newest plants.

Adani Power has partnered with Japan’s IHI and Kowa to deliver the pilot and examine expansion to other APL units and stations. Kowa is active in energy saving and energy creating products, while IHI is a heavy industry company which has ammonia firing technology.

Combustion tests at IHI’s facility in Japan have begun with 20% ammonia blend, simulating Mundra Power Station equipment. The partners believe that the results will be encouraging enough to implement this solution at the Mundra Power Station once economic parity is achieved between both feedstocks. The Mundra plant is the first location outside of Japan to have been selected for this cutting-edge green initiative.

The project has been conceived under the aegis of Japan-India Clean Energy Partnership (CEP), which aims to ensure energy security, achieve carbon neutrality, and achieve economic growth. It has been selected under the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization’s (NEDO) "International Demonstration Project for Japanese Technologies Contributing to Decarbonization and Energy Transition". NEDO is Japan’s national research and development agency that fosters innovation by promoting technological development necessary for realization of a sustainable society.

“Adani Power is fully committed to reducing its carbon footprint through adoption of latest technologies and proactive measures across our business value chain. In furtherance of this vision, we are happy to partner with IHI and Kowa for blending green ammonia for our Mundra plant, which will reduce CO2 emissions. We will continue to integrate cutting-edge technologies increasingly to reduce emissions in the intermediate term,” said Mr. Anil Sardana, Managing Director, Adani Power Ltd.

ReValve Solutions Announces Successful First-in-Human with Next Generation TMVR Technology

 IRVINE, Calif. - Wednesday, 29. November 2023 AETOSWire


(BUSINESS WIRE)--ReValve Solutions Inc. (ReValve), which has developed a next generation technology for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (TMVR), announced that an 81-year-old male, with a history of heart failure, a series of failed surgical by-pass grafts and severe mitral regurgitation (MR 4+), was successfully treated with the Palmetto System.


The next generation TMVR procedure was performed using ReValve’s Palmetto System on October 11, 2023, at the Punta Pacifica Hospital, Panama City, Panama by Interventional Cardiologists Dr. Charles Davidson (Medical Director, Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute, Northwestern Memorial Hospital) and Dr. Temistocles Diaz (Chief of Interventional Cardiology at Punta Pacifica Hospital), along with Cardiovascular Surgeon Dr. Douglas Boyd, (Professor of Surgery, Vice Chair, Department of Cardiovascular Sciences, East Carolina University) and Echocardiographer Dr. Edris Aman (Assistant Clinical Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of California, Davis Medical Center). The procedure was successfully completed in under an hour reducing the patient’s MR to trace. At 30 days, the patient continues to do well with zero MR and preserved ventricular function.


ReValve’s technology is designed to replace the Mitral Valve while also preserving the heart’s natural basal left ventricular function. “Our approach to TMVR is unique in that we work with the natural movement of the heart, as opposed to first-generation technologies which require the heart to work around a stiff implant. Our flexibility and four-point securement system provide a patent LVOT and maintains left ventricular function throughout recovery,” said Julie Logan Sands, Founder and CEO ReValve Solutions. “Many of the issues of Neo-LVOT and LV dysfunction were not fully understood nor anticipated in first generation technologies. ReValve’s first-of-its-kind TMVR is thoughtfully designed to expand the treatable population of patients suffering from Mitral Valve Disease,” added Sands.


“The procedure is straightforward, while the valve and delivery system performed as designed. Leaflet securement along with the low-profile valve frame helps to avoid LVOT obstruction that has been a significant limitation of several TMVR technologies. This first in human experience is very encouraging to expand transcatheter mitral valve replacement to a larger population,” said Dr. Davidson.


“The ReValve system is a promising technology. The immediate patient recovery is quite remarkable with preservation of the left ventricular function. The next morning the patient stated he was ready to sing again, we could not have had a better outcome,” said Dr. Diaz.


About ReValve Solutions


The Palmetto System is a complete mitral valve replacement system delivered via transfemoral-transseptal approach. The system is designed to avoid any disturbance to the left-ventricular outflow tract while preserving the basal left ventricular function and if needed, will allow for future replacement through a dedicated product line. Preserving options for the physician and patient is an essential part of the long-term solution to structure heart treatment. ReValve is an investigational device only and not available for sale.


ReValve Solutions, Inc. (www.revalvesolutions.com) is based in Irvine, CA with the mission of delivering innovative solutions to structural heart disease through catheter-based procedures which allow for long-term treatment options. For more information visit www.ReValveSolutions.com
