  • NANO Nuclear Energy Advances Vertical Integration Strategy by Signing Definitive Agreement to Acquire Strategic NRC-Licensed U.S. Nuclear Fuel Processing Assets

    NANO Nuclear Energy Advances Vertical Integration Strategy by Signing Definitive Agreement to Acquire Strategic NRC-Licensed U.S. Nuclear Fuel Processing Assets

    Acquisition would provide NANO Nuclear with strategically valuable NRC-licensed fuel cycle assets and optionality to pursue domestic nuclear fuel cycle activities, independently or in collaboration with strategic partners

    Upon completion of the transaction and transfer of the NRC license, NANO Nuclear would own one of ten NRC-licensed fuel cycle facilities in the United States

    New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – October 1, 2026) – NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or the “Company”), an advanced nuclear energy and technology company developing microreactors, nuclear fuel cycle capabilities and nuclear transportation solutions, today announced that NANO Nuclear and its wholly owned subsidiary, HALEU Energy Fuel Inc., have entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with Radnostix, Inc. (formerly International Isotopes Inc.) and its subsidiary International Isotopes Fluorine Products, Inc. to acquire strategic U.S. nuclear fuel processing assets, including a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (“NRC”) license and related intellectual property and technical materials associated with a previously planned depleted uranium hexafluoride (“DUF6”) deconversion and fluorine extraction facility in Lea County, New Mexico.

    The proposed acquisition would provide NANO Nuclear with existing NRC-licensed fuel cycle assets and a substantial body of associated licensing and technical work. Upon completion of the transaction and transfer of the NRC license, NANO Nuclear would own one of ten NRC-licensed fuel cycle facilities in the United States. The acquisition is also subject to the satisfaction of future closing conditions.

    Figure 1 – NANO Nuclear Energy Advances Vertical Integration Strategy by Signing Definitive Agreement to Acquire Strategic NRC-Licensed U.S. Nuclear Fuel Processing Assets – IIFP General Site Location, Proposed Facility Boundary, and Plant Throughput for the DUF₆ Deconversion Process.

    By acquiring an existing NRC-licensed fuel cycle asset, NANO Nuclear is strategically positioned with the flexibility to pursue a depleted uranium hexafluoride (“DUF6) deconversion facility or additional fuel cycle processes through amendments to the existing NRC license, which NANO Nuclear believes could provide a significantly more efficient regulatory pathway than developing and licensing a comparable facility on a new site. The licensing, regulatory, engineering and technical foundation derived from the acquired assets could also inform and potentially streamline the development and licensing of similar fuel cycle capabilities at other locations. Together, these assets would provide NANO Nuclear with increased optionality to pursue domestic fuel cycle opportunities, either independently or in collaboration with other nuclear fuel processing companies.

    If completed, the proposed acquisition would represent another important milestone in NANO Nuclear’s long-term strategy to establish a vertically integrated advanced nuclear energy and fuel platform, extending its potential capabilities, whether internally or through strategic collaborations, across uranium conversion, enrichment, deconversion and transportation through reactor deployment.

    Establishing a Strategic U.S. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Platform

    The NRC license was originally issued to construct and operate a DUF6 deconversion and fluorine extraction facility in Lea County, New Mexico. The proposed acquisition also includes related patented technology, engineering and safety analyses, regulatory and permitting materials, equipment and historical project development records. The facility contemplated under the existing license was not previously constructed.

    While the site is licensed by the NRC under 10 CFR Part 40, “Domestic Licensing of Source Material,” the licensing basis was required by the NRC to meet applicable requirements of Subpart H of 10 CFR Part 70, “Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,” in connection with a rulemaking framework previously contemplated by the NRC. NANO Nuclear expects the acquisition of an existing licensed fuel cycle facility developed to these requirements to facilitate a more streamlined regulatory pathway for adding certain additional fuel cycle processes requiring authorization under 10 CFR Part 70 through future license amendments if desired, subject in each case to applicable NRC review and approval.

    Following closing and transfer of the NRC license, NANO Nuclear plans to continue its evaluation of several options in determining the optimal commercial and development pathway for the acquired assets, including potential deconversion and other fuel cycle activities, as well as opportunities to collaborate with potential strategic partners. No final investment decision has been made, and any future development remains subject to applicable technical, commercial, financing and regulatory considerations.

    “This proposed acquisition is fundamentally about securing a strategically valuable position within the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear Energy. “An existing NRC-licensed fuel cycle facility, supported by years of regulatory and technical development, provides us with a foundation we believe is extremely difficult to recreate from the ground up. It gives us multiple potential pathways to expand our domestic fuel cycle capabilities while preserving the flexibility to determine the development strategy that creates the greatest long-term value.”

    “Our objective is to build the capabilities necessary to support a more complete and resilient domestic nuclear energy industry,” said Jay Yu, Founder and Chairman of NANO Nuclear Energy. “This transaction would establish another critical pillar of our vertically integrated nuclear fuel strategy, providing us with an important platform from which to pursue future fuel cycle opportunities, both independently and alongside strategic industry collaborators. I am very pleased with our continued business and commercial approach to creating long-term shareholder value in the nuclear energy sector.”

    Transaction Terms and Next Steps

    Under the asset purchase agreement, the consideration being paid for the assets at closing is $9.5 million in cash and $4.0 million in NANO common stock, payable and issuable at closing in accordance with the agreement. Closing remains subject to NRC consent to the license transfer, other required approvals and consents (including from New Mexico officials), satisfactory site arrangements and other closing conditions. The parties currently expect closing in approximately 90 to 120 days, although the timing will depend on those approvals and conditions.

  • Amari Puts Two Sides Of Laos Within Easy Reach For International Travellers

    Amari Puts Two Sides Of Laos Within Easy Reach For International Travellers

    From Mekong-side culture in Vientiane to the mountains and adventure of Vang Vieng, Amari encourages travellers to experience Laos at a slower pace

    VIENTIANE, LAOS – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2026 – Amari is inviting international travellers to discover two contrasting sides of Laos in one journey, combining the culture, cuisine and laid-back riverside life of the capital, Vientiane, with the dramatic mountain landscapes and outdoor adventures of Vang Vieng.

    Amari Puts Two Sides Of Laos Within Easy Reach For International Travellers

    Connected by rail, the two destinations offer a compelling twin-centre itinerary for travellers looking to experience more of Laos beyond a traditional sightseeing trip. Amari Vientiane and Amari Vang Vieng provide bases at either end of the journey, allowing guests to move from life beside the Mekong River to the limestone mountains and waterways surrounding the Nam Song River.

    The experience reflects a different approach to discovering Laos: travelling at a pace that leaves room for local food, everyday encounters and spontaneous discoveries alongside the country’s better-known attractions.

    A Capital Best Discovered Slowly

    Vientiane may be the capital and economic and cultural centre of Laos, but its appeal lies as much in its unhurried atmosphere as its major landmarks.

    Travellers can visit icons including Pha That Luang, Patuxai and Wat Si Saket, while leaving time to explore local markets, discover small cafés, try Lao coffee, cycle through quieter streets and watch the city come to life beside the Mekong River as evening approaches.

    Food provides another window into the destination, from noodle dishes and locally caught river fish to dishes flavoured with native herbs and ingredients. Even simple interactions – a “Sabaidee” greeting, a conversation at a market or a recommendation from a local – can become part of the experience.

    Located in the heart of the city beside the Mekong River, Amari Vientiane places guests close to many of these experiences while providing a retreat from the capital outside.

    Approximately 4.8 kilometres from Wattay International Airport, the hotel offers 242 rooms and suites alongside a swimming pool, fitness centre and Breeze Spa.

    Its dining experiences bring further elements of the destination into the hotel. Amaya Food Gallery combines international and Thai cuisine with dishes influenced by Lao flavours and ingredients.

    As evening falls, Stellar Rooftop Bar provides another perspective on the capital, with views across the river as the sun sets and Vientiane moves into its evening rhythm.

    From Capital Culture to Vang Vieng Adventure The experience changes dramatically in Vang Vieng. Travelling from Vientiane to Vang Vieng by rail allows visitors to exchange the capital’s temples, markets and Mekong-side life for limestone mountains, caves, waterways and outdoor adventure.

    Set beside the Nam Song River, Amari Vang Vieng places the surrounding landscape at the heart of the stay. Its more than 160 contemporary rooms incorporate details inspired by Lao craftsmanship, with views towards the mountains and surrounding countryside.

    The destination offers a very different way to experience Laos.

    Travellers can kayak along the Nam Song River, explore caves, experience the landscape from above or simply spend time surrounded by Vang Vieng’s striking natural scenery.

    After a day outdoors, guests can return to the hotel to relax and dine against a backdrop of mountains and river views.

    Two Destinations, One Laos Journey

    Together, Vientiane and Vang Vieng demonstrate how dramatically the character of Laos can change within a single journey.

    In Vientiane, the experience centres on culture, cuisine, temples and everyday life along the Mekong. In Vang Vieng, mountains, waterways and outdoor experiences take centre stage.

    Yet both lend themselves to a style of travel that encourages visitors to spend longer in a destination rather than racing between attractions.

    Through Amari’s More of What You Love philosophy, both hotels aim to connect the stay more closely with the places around them – through food, relaxation, well-being, local encounters and experiences that encourage guests to explore beyond the hotel.

    For travellers, the result is an opportunity to see two distinct faces of Laos in one trip: beginning with the understated charm of the capital before changing pace amid the spectacular landscapes of Vang Vieng.

    Because sometimes the most memorable way to discover a destination is not to see more, but to give yourself more time to experience it.

  • Women-Led Enterprises Record RM229 Million in Projected Sales at Inaugural WiEX @ MIHAS 2026

    Women-Led Enterprises Record RM229 Million in Projected Sales at Inaugural WiEX @ MIHAS 2026

    Whole-of-Government initiative empowers women exporters to secure international trade leads at the inaugural WiEX @ MIHAS 2026.

    KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2026 – Demonstrating the global demand for Malaysian innovation, women-led enterprises achieved RM229 million in potential export sales during the pre-arranged business matching sessions and the 4-days exhibition held at the Women in Export (WiEX) Pavilion @ MIHAS 2026.

    The targeted 215 B2B meetings connected local women entrepreneurs with international buyers and distributors from Egypt, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia and Myanmar. Women-owned companies from Selangor, Kedah and Kuala Lumpur, Perak and Penang topped the sales with a combined value totaling RM129.84 million for confectionary, snacks, coffee, tea, cocoa and sportswear products.

    The WiEX platform held in conjunction with MIHAS 2026 underscores a strategic Whole-of-Government (WoG) approach to scaling women-led businesses into high-value global supply chains. Led by MATRADE with the support of Pertubuhan Hal Ehwal Wanita dan Keluarga Malaysia (HAWA Malaysia), the initiative brought together key government Ministries and developmental Agencies, including the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW), Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA), SME Corp, Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER), Wanita Berdaya Selangor (WBS) and UDA Holdings Bhd. This inter-agency ecosystem ensures the inclusiveness of women entrepreneurs’ transition seamlessly from domestic capacity-building to international market placement.

    Speaking at the WiEX Forum, MATRADE Chairman, Dato’ Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican highlighted that:

    “The contribution of women entrepreneurs is not a side story in our economy; it is central to it. DOSM’s Economic Census 2023 shows women own 20.1% of Malaysian businesses, generating RM136.9 billion in output and employing nearly a million people. Yet, there remains room to improve export readiness. That is why MATRADE continues the WiEX initiative alongside HAWA Malaysia, chaired by Tan Sri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil. I am delighted that WiEX is now incorporated as a key component under MIHAS 2026, delivering a complete ecosystem of capacity building, market access, and recognition under one roof to help women entrepreneurs seize global opportunities.”

    “In the era of Industry 5.0, success is no longer defined by high-tech alone, but also by high touch. Businesses must go beyond profit and contribute meaningfully to the well-being of their employees, communities and society. As women leaders and entrepreneurs, we must ensure that technological progress is balanced with values that are inclusive, ethical and anchored in integrity”, said Tan Sri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, President of HAWA Malaysia during her opening speech.

    Complementing the commercial outcomes at the WiEX Pavilion is the WiEX Forum 2026 brought together over 300 participants for actionable knowledge-sharing under the theme “Thriving through Uncertainty: Adapt, Compete, and Grow.”

    The forum featured an array of industry leaders and founders sharing practical international expansion models:

    • Ms. Low Ngai Yuen, Managing Director of AEON 360, detailed retail procurement standards and supply chain integration strategies for domestic and regional growth.
    • Datin Eryca Baiduri (Madammu), Founder of NOIR, delivered a fireside chat on evolving a home-based digital business into a scalable global beauty and health brand.
    • Founder-led Panel: Moderated by TV personality Ms. Azaria Tagaya, a dynamic panel consisting of Ms. Amnah Shari (Founder/CEO, Serunai Commerce), Tengku Norhanim Tengku Othman (Founder/CEO, NIMS Adeliciousz), Ms. Jesmine Tan (Co-Founder/COO, Applecrumby), and Ms. Amy Blair (Founder/CEO, Batik Boutique) provided tactical lessons on maintaining quality, navigating regulatory compliance, and managing supply chains across export markets.

    Through the combined impact of trade facilitation, strategic cross-agency backing and industry mentorship, MATRADE will continue working alongside HAWA Malaysia, KKDW, MARA, SME Corp and NCER and international trade partners to elevate the ‘Made by Malaysia’ brand globally.

  • Aolani, Karman partner to unlock 50% more AI compute capacity with same provisioned power

    Aolani, Karman partner to unlock 50% more AI compute capacity with same provisioned power

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2026 – Aolani, a Singapore-founded neocloud powering AI growth, today announced a partnership with Karman (formerly known as Utilidata) to fully utilize available power of Aolani’s AI infrastructure through advanced power orchestration capabilities.

    As global demand for AI compute intensifies, intelligent energy management has become crucial in maximising AI infrastructure performance and scalability. Being at the forefront of providing AI compute access in Asia, Aolani is continuously investing in technologies that optimise the use of available power resources to drive greater efficiency and value from their AI deployments.

    Through this partnership, Aolani will integrate the Karman platform, a dynamic power orchestration platform that combines high-resolution metrology with local processing and AI, into its infrastructure stack. Karman is built on a custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and designed to measure and dynamically allocate available power capacity across high-density GPU workloads to actively manage rack-level energy consumption in real time. In doing so, the platform, increases infrastructure utilisation within the facility’s existing power envelope and lowers the cost per unit of compute.

    The joint proof of concept project will be deployed on the NVIDIA Blackwell Platform. The Karman platform has already unlocked 33% more compute capacity from existing power infrastructure at its first commercial deployment in North America, potentially translating into a $20M increase in revenue per 1 MW.

    “We are excited to be partnering with Karman to leverage their innovative technology and deliver greater value from existing energy resources. For Aolani, this represents an opportunity to further improve the economics of AI workloads and reflects our commitment to continuously enhancing our AI infrastructure platform. By optimising how power is allocated and used, we can help customers scale their AI ambitions and strengthen our ability to deliver the compute capacity quickly without waiting on the grid,” said Nicholas Chia, Chief Executive Officer at Aolani.

    “Access to power is one of the defining factors in supporting AI adoption and the growth of increasingly demanding AI workloads. As we continue to advance alongside the latest generation of GPU systems, we look forward to working with Aolani to demonstrate how our Karman platform can fully utilize the power already available to data center operators and cloud providers,” said Karman CEO, Josh Brumberger.

  • Vinhomes Readies Its Integrated Mega-City Model as Vietnam’s Next Global Export

    Vinhomes Readies Its Integrated Mega-City Model as Vietnam’s Next Global Export

    Vinhomes Green Paradise, the first Official Participant in New7Wonders’ “7 Wonders of Future Cities” campaign, advances to the global vote as the developer takes its township model into five overseas markets

    HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2026 – For decades, the world has known Vietnam by what it ships: rice, coffee, cashews, black pepper, apparel and footwear. VinFast then proved that a Vietnamese company could export advanced technology. Now Vinhomes is preparing a different kind of export: its all-in-one integrated mega-city model. The company’s flagship, Vinhomes Green Paradise in Can Gio, was the first project New7Wonders recognized as an Official Participant in its “7 Wonders of Future Cities” campaign and has since advanced to the global vote.

    A Vinhomes integrated township.
    A Vinhomes integrated township.

    As Vietnam’s leading real estate developer, Vinhomes has brought 32 projects and urban developments into operation, serving hundreds of thousands of residents nationwide. That strategy is now reaching beyond Vietnam’s borders, with projects and development plans in Congo, India, Australia, the Philippines and Indonesia. The model is built to meet a defining challenge of rapid urbanization: delivering homes together with commercial, educational, healthcare, transportation and public infrastructure, rather than years later.

    An All-in-One Model Built for a Rapidly Urbanizing World

    Vinhomes’ integrated townships, typically larger than 300 hectares in strategic locations, are designed to function as economies in miniature. U.S. market data shows master-planned communities outselling standalone developments and attracting households with markedly higher incomes than their surrounding areas.

    The world is in the midst of a historic wave of urbanization. According to the United Nations’ World Urbanization Prospects 2025, cities are now home to 45% of the world’s 8.2 billion people, more than double their 20% share in 1950. Cities are also projected to absorb two-thirds of global population growth between now and 2050.

    The real challenge is not how many homes get built, but whether infrastructure can keep pace with the people who move into them. In many fast-growing cities, housing comes first while schools, hospitals, parks and transit arrive years later, leaving residents with long commutes, scattered services and a steadily eroding quality of life.

    Vinhomes’ model tackles that problem at the source. The company focuses on internationally benchmarked integrated townships, typically larger than 300 hectares in strategic locations, where homes are delivered alongside commercial, educational, healthcare, transportation and public facilities. Built this way, a township ceases to be merely a real estate product and begins to function as an economy in miniature, generating its own jobs, services and investment as residents move in.

    International market data underscores the value of integration. Zonda’s Master Plan Outlook found that U.S. master-planned communities averaged 2.3 home sales per month in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 2.1 for standalone communities; in the entry-level segment below $300,000, the gap widened to 51%. Research by Cushman & Wakefield found that median household incomes in the master-planned communities it studied were 38% higher than in surrounding areas, a profile that helps draw premium retail and services.

    What sets Vinhomes apart is its ability to execute at rare scale and speed. After visiting the company’s project in Can Gio, New7Wonders Director Jean-Paul de la Fuente observed that few developers anywhere have the capacity to build at such scale and pace while still managing the complexity involved.

    Vinhomes Green Paradise Showcases a Human-Centric City Built for Export

    Spanning 2,870 hectares with a construction density of just 16%, Vinhomes Green Paradise is the flagship of the Vinhomes model. Having stood out across New7Wonders’ three pillars of Environment & Nature, Smart City and Human-Centric Development, the project has advanced to the global vote of the “7 Wonders of Future Cities” campaign.

    If one project captures the global ambition of the Vinhomes model, it is Vinhomes Green Paradise. The 2,870-hectare development reserves most of its land for greenery and water, including a natural seawater lagoon of up to 800 hectares and 121 kilometers of shoreline. It sits beside the 75,000-hectare Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, recognized by UNESCO.

    Vinhomes Green Paradise became the first project New7Wonders recognized as an Official Participant after the “7 Wonders of Future Cities” campaign opened on Oct. 31, 2025. Under the organization’s evaluation framework, the Vietnamese entry stands out across three pillars: Environment & Nature, Smart City and Human-Centric Development. The project has since advanced to the campaign’s global vote.

    The human-centric pillar comes to life in a new idea of the second home: the city by morning, the sea by evening. Once the planned Ben Thanh–Can Gio rail line, designed for speeds of up to 350 km/h, is complete, the trip from downtown Ho Chi Minh City to the coast is expected to take about 13 minutes. By road, with the Can Gio Bridge replacing the Binh Khanh ferry and Rung Sac Boulevard widened, the drive should take around 35 minutes. Families could leave work on Friday, have dinner by the sea and be back in the city Monday morning. Such travel times would bring a coastal home within daily commuting range of the city center.

    The project is designed so that every generation finds its own joy in a shared place. Children can paddleboard and swim in the lagoon, cycle along seaside paths and explore the 122-hectare VinWonders, with 280 attractions and 30 shows a day, while Young Paradise Hub nurtures their talents in technology and the arts. Grandparents can stroll through 370 parks, unwind in thermal mineral waters at Retreat Hub, connect with friends at New Horizon Center and share their experience at the Wisdom Academy within Vin New Horizon. Shared moments can be simple: a sunset on the lagoon’s sandy shore, fireworks over the bay, an evening at the Song Xanh theater.

    A city model becomes exportable not because of its size, but because it addresses a challenge shared by cities worldwide: creating places where people choose to live, work and return to each day. Having applied the model from Hanoi and Ha Long to Can Gio, Vinhomes is now taking it to international markets as a new kind of “Made in Vietnam.”

  • Bracell Advances Sustainable Industrial Practices and Air Quality Management in Bahia

    Bracell Advances Sustainable Industrial Practices and Air Quality Management in Bahia

    The Company has reduced carbon emissions intensity by 47% since 2020 and strengthened environmental monitoring, renewable energy use and conservation initiatives

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2026 – As Brazil marks National Day for Industrial Pollution Control in August, Bracell is highlighting its continued efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its industrial operations while advancing operational efficiency and sustainable development in Bahia.

    Between 2020 and 2025, Bracell reduced its carbon emissions intensity by 47% per ton of pulp produced, reaching 0.257 tons of CO₂ equivalent per ton of product (tCO₂e/adt) across its operations in Bahia, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul.

    The progress is part of Bracell 2030, the company’s long-term sustainability strategy, which is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The strategy comprises 14 targets across four pillars: Climate Action, Sustainable Landscapes and Biodiversity, Sustainable Growth, and Empowering Lives.

    Under its Climate Action pillar, Bracell aims to achieve a 75% reduction in carbon emissions per ton of product by 2030, reaching 0.122 tCO₂e/adt. At Bracell’s industrial unit in Camaçari, one of the key advances has been the modernisation of a pulp production line. A new cooking line, which began operating in October 2025, has improved process efficiency by reducing the amount of steam required during pulp manufacturing.

    “As part of our goals, we seek to increase operational efficiency through continuous investments in innovation and technology in our processes, making us more sustainable, competitive, and aligned with our commitment to reducing carbon emissions,” said Angela Ribeiro, Sustainability Manager at Bracell Bahia.

    Bracell also conducts an annual corporate inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals. In 2025, the inventory covered the company’s pulp and paper value chain, including industrial operations in Bahia and São Paulo, forestry activities in Bahia, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul, and logistics operations.

    Environmental controls at Bracell’s Camaçari industrial unit include continuous and isokinetic monitoring of nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), particulate matter and reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs). According to the company, monitoring results consistently remain below applicable legal emission limits.

    “Environmental control includes continuous and isokinetic monitoring of parameters such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), particulate matter, and reduced sulfur compounds (RSCs). The results consistently remain below legal emission limits, reinforcing the efficiency of the environmental control systems implemented at the factory,” said Angela.

    The monitoring is conducted in accordance with Brazilian environmental legislation and forms part of the company’s broader approach to continuous environmental management. Bracell’s work in measuring, managing and transparently disclosing GHG emissions has also been recognised with the Gold Seal of the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program for four consecutive years. The programme is developed by the Centre for Sustainability Studies at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) and the World Resources Institute (WRI), in partnership with institutions including Brazil’s Ministry of the Environment and the Brazilian Business Council for Sustainable Development.

    Bracell also participates in the Air Quality Monitoring Program of the Camaçari Industrial Complex, conducted by Cetrel. The Air Monitoring Network has operated continuously since May 1994 and is nationally recognised for the quality and technical reliability of the data generated.

    Beyond reducing emissions from its industrial operations, Bracell has set a target to remove 25 million tons of CO₂ equivalent from the atmosphere between 2020 and 2030. Over the first five years of the programme, the company removed approximately 6 million tons of CO₂ equivalent. In 2025 alone, 3.4 million tCO₂e were removed, including 1.8 million tons from planted forests and 1.6 million tons from preserved native vegetation.

    The results reflect the balance between emissions from operations, carbon sequestration in eucalyptus plantations and the conservation of native vegetation managed by the company, as well as areas conserved in partnership with governments in the states where Bracell operates.

    “One of the most relevant milestones in our sustainability agenda is the progress of the One for One Commitment, through which we support the conservation of one hectare of native forest for every hectare of eucalyptus planted,” said Meryellen Baldim, Environment and Certifications Manager at Bracell Bahia.

    By 2025, Bracell, a member of the RGE group of companies founded by Sukanto Tanoto, had contributed to the protection of approximately 301,000 hectares of native vegetation across the states where it operates, achieving its established goal ahead of schedule.

    In Bahia, the company owns four Private Natural Heritage Reserves (RPPNs). One of these is Lontra, located on the North Coast, which protects 1,377 hectares of Atlantic Forest, a biome of strategic importance for water and climate security. The reserve is recognised as an Advanced Post of the Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve (RBMA) by UNESCO.

    Bracell’s climate strategy also focuses on increasing the efficiency of its industrial operations and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. At its industrial unit, approximately 90% of the energy consumed comes from renewable sources, supporting the company’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and the environmental impacts associated with industrial activity.

    Together, investments in process efficiency, emissions monitoring, renewable energy, carbon removal and native vegetation conservation form part of Bracell’s broader commitment to developing more sustainable industrial practices while contributing to economic development and environmental responsibility.

  • Farewell Funerals Expands Singapore Funeral Services with New Online Tribute Option

    Farewell Funerals Expands Singapore Funeral Services with New Online Tribute Option

    The Singapore funeral provider has added online memorial tributes to its funeral services, allowing families to share funeral information and preserve memories of loved ones online.

    SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 October 2026 – Farewell Funerals Pte. Ltd. has announced an expansion of its funeral services in Singapore with the introduction of an online tribute option for bereaved families.

    The new service connects traditional funeral arrangements with a dedicated online memorial. Families can now arrange funeral services while also creating an online tribute where relatives and friends can view funeral details, photographs and memories of the person who has passed away.

    The addition is part of Farewell Funerals’ move to extend support beyond the physical wake and funeral. It gives families another way to communicate important arrangements while creating a lasting record of the person being remembered.

    Families can access the new online tribute service through the Farewell Funerals website.

    A New Option Alongside Funeral Arrangements

    The online tribute has been introduced as an optional addition to Farewell Funerals’ existing funeral services rather than as a separate replacement for traditional arrangements.

    When planning a funeral, families typically need to coordinate the wake, religious or non-religious rites, transportation, cremation or burial, and communication with relatives and friends.

    Farewell Funerals funeral packages in Singapore cover different arrangements based on a family’s religious traditions and practical requirements.

    With the new tribute option, families can also create an online space connected to those arrangements.

    The memorial can provide people with the wake location, visiting hours, funeral date and other relevant details without requiring the family to repeatedly distribute the same information to different groups.

    For relatives and friends who cannot attend the wake, particularly those living overseas, the page also provides a way to learn about the arrangements and remember the deceased remotely.

    More Than a Standard Funeral Notice

    Farewell Funerals has designed the tribute option to accommodate different levels of personalisation.

    A family may use it primarily to communicate funeral information or build a more detailed memorial around the person’s life.

    Basic information can include the person’s name, photograph, date of birth and date of passing.

    Families who want a more personal tribute can add a written life story and significant milestones. This gives them space to document memories, experiences and important moments that would normally not appear in a short funeral notice.

    A separate family message can also be included, allowing relatives to contribute their own words of remembrance.

    Photographs form another part of the service. Families can submit a gallery of up to eight images, providing an opportunity to show different stages and memories from the person’s life.

    Information about surviving family members can also be included where the family considers it appropriate.

    Funeral Information Included Alongside the Tribute

    The tribute also serves a practical function for sharing funeral-related information.

    This can include the wake location, dates and visiting hours, as well as cortege arrangements and details of the cremation or burial.

    Where a service involves a church or other venue, the relevant time and location can also be noted, along with any dress code considerations shared by the family.

    Having this information alongside the tribute provides a single reference point for those planning to attend.

    Guidance for Guests Paying Respects

    The memorial can also include guidance on condolences, if the family wishes to provide it.

    This may include information about condolence contributions or floral tributes, depending on what the family considers appropriate.

    These elements are optional and can be included or omitted based on family preference.

    Memorials Are Reviewed Before Going Live

    Online tribute submissions are reviewed before publication.

    Families provide the memorial information through the submission process, after which Farewell Funerals reviews the details and can contact the submitter if clarification is required.

    This process allows funeral information, names and other submitted details to be checked before the memorial becomes publicly available.

    The contact details of the person making the submission are used for administrative communication and are not intended to appear as part of the public tribute.

    Extending Funeral Support Beyond the Wake

    The introduction of online tributes reflects a broader extension of Farewell Funerals’ funeral services.

    The company coordinates Buddhist, Taoist, Christian, Catholic, Free Thinker and Soka funeral arrangements in Singapore, together with direct cremation and international repatriation services.

    While the physical funeral remains at the centre of these arrangements, the online tribute provides an additional option for how families communicate and preserve memories.

    It can be particularly relevant when a person’s relatives, friends or former colleagues are spread across different countries and cannot all attend the wake.

    The memorial remains focused on the deceased, bringing together the person’s story, family memories, photographs and relevant funeral information in one place.Hashtag: #FarewellFunerals
