Shackleton Launches The World’s First Expedition Grade Performance Jacket Made From Recycled Plastic Bottles

LONDON, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Shackleton, in partnership with Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE), has developed the Antarctic Protector Parka, the world’s first expedition-grade parka engineered from 100% recycled fabrics. Post-consumer plastic bottles have been recycled and repurposed to create the fully waterproof shell and RDS-certified 95/5 800-fill goose down provides insulation down to -25ºC.

…

The Antarctic Protector Parka has been developed for BLUE’s field operatives working in Antarctica’s coastal zones which combine some of the wettest, windiest and coldest conditions anywhere in the world. «These notorious conditions set the standard for which all our apparel is developed to perform,» says Martin Brooks, Co-Founder of Shackleton. «We design and engineer expedition-grade apparel for people living and working in the most extreme environments. For Antarctica’s coast, that means seam-sealed waterproofing of minimum 20,000 H/H and insulation to minus 25. We believe the Protector is the first jacket to hit this performance standard using fully recycled fabrics.»

The Antarctica Protector Parka is strictly limited to 100 units, Shackleton will donate £100 to BLUE for every jacket sold.

The Protector Parka collaboration is part of a wider partnership between Shackleton and BLUE to campaign for the protection of Antarctica. Antarctica’s coast is under serious threat: as global warming melts the ice and the waters become more accessible, pressure is mounting from industrial fishing fleets, mining operations and unregulated tourism, threatening vital feeding grounds and habitats for thousands of species.

«Antarctica is our spiritual home – it’s where Sir Ernest Shackleton made his name as a polar explorer over a century ago and where our expedition-grade apparel is tested and used today. I’ve seen Antarctica’s jaw-dropping coastal zones first-hand,» says Shackleton co-founder Martin Brooks, «but these crucial environments are under threat in many ways, from over-fishing to mining. The only way to protect and preserve them from further human damage is to grant them the comprehensive MPA (Marine Protected Area) status they so obviously need and deserve.»

‘«It’s even more special to announce this partnership with BLUE on the 99th anniversary of Ernest Shackleton’s death on January 5th 1922. If The Boss were alive today, we’re sure he’d be doing his utmost to preserve this last great wilderness.»

BLUE’S Head of International Projects Rory Moore explains why this is so important.

«The mission is to help protect over four million square kilometres of ocean… without this protection, this pristine habitat and the thousands of species that rely on it are at grave risk.»

Blue Marine Foundation is the NGO leading the fight to create four million square kilometres of Marine Protected Area (MPA), incorporating the Weddell Sea, East Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula. Its aim is to protect this critical biodiversity, while mitigating the impacts of climate change and providing areas for crucial scientific research.

Antarctica is home to nearly 10,000 unique and diverse species, including 15 species of whale and five species of penguin. The nutrient-rich waters encourage blooms of plankton and swarms of krill, which form the basis of the entire ocean food chain. Designating the three proposed Antarctic MPAs – the Weddell Sea, East Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsular – will protect biodiversity, while mitigating the impacts of climate change and providing reference areas for scientific research.

OneLife Rolls Out the World’s Most Efficient Air Purifier: OneLife X

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — OneLife GmbH, innovators with a purpose who are committed to saving lives while protecting the planet, today announced the launch of a groundbreaking new product, OneLife X, the world’s most efficient air purifier. With a revolutionary plasma filter (patent pending) built by German scientists, OneLife X silently delivers clinically clean air via a dishwasher-safe filter, making it easy for people to breathe freely while protected from germs, pollutants and…

The pandemic brought more attention to the need for clean air, but health-threatening pollutants, irritants and particles were already a serious problem before COVID-19. Viruses and bacteria are an issue, but so are rising pollution levels in cities, overall poor indoor air quality and the effects of climate change. All of these factors made the need for a next-generation approach to air purification even more urgent, and OneLife X addresses each of these challenges.

«At OneLife, we believe people have a right to clean air, and our mission is to fight invisible contaminants in indoor spaces so people can live healthier, more productive lives,» OneLife CEO Christoph Burkhardt observed. «We know we’ve only got one planet, so we have to protect Earth too. That’s why we built OneLife X using sustainable materials and designed a power-efficient air purifier with a reusable filter so there’s no need to replace disposable filters every few months and create more landfill waste. That’s how we save lives and save the planet.»

OneLife X removes viruses and bacteria, ultrafine dust, pollen, mold spores, dust mites and other pollutants from the air, catching even the smallest particles with zero-pollution technology. Users can just rinse the reusable filter or wash it in the dishwasher, saving money while reducing environmentally damaging waste. Built sustainably from renewable materials like bamboo, OneLife X is highly energy efficient with a low-power profile that runs absolutely silently.

«Other features that set OneLife X apart include its beautiful design, quiet operation and connectivity capabilities,» said Burkhardt. «In addition to the revolutionary health tech science that powers its incredible efficiency and effectiveness in removing indoor contaminants, OneLife X is designed to fit seamlessly and beautifully into users’ lives. It looks like a work of art, it’s virtually silent, and it connects to nearly all home devices.»

Global Consumer Confidence Improved in Q4

NEW YORK, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Global consumer confidence increased in the fourth quarter of 2020, driven largely by an improved outlook for personal finances—which, in many regions, reflect unprecedented fiscal measures in response to COVID-19. Prospects for jobs and spending intentions saw smaller improvements in Q4, according to <a target="_blank"…

Conducted in collaboration with Nielsen, the survey found that overall global consumer confidence climbed to 98 in Q4 2020, up six points from 92 in Q2 2020. A reading below 100 is considered negative, indicating that consumers were slightly more pessimistic than optimistic globally. Fifty of 67 markets saw a rise in confidence in Q4 as economic activity resumed and vaccine development advanced quickly. (Q4 indexes exclude China due to data collection restraints.)

«While the vaccine sets the stage for a global economic recovery,» said Dana Peterson, Chief Economist of The Conference Board, «the timing of that revival and the pickup in consumer confidence—whether in 2021 or beyond—will vary markedly between advanced and emerging economies depending on the degree of access to vaccines.»

Elizabeth Crofoot, Senior Economist at The Conference Board, added: «In North America, Asia-Pacific, and the Gulf, confidence has remained at least marginally optimistic—above 100—throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, capped by strong gains in Q4. Latin America also recovered strongly from historically low confidence earlier in 2020. But Europe reveals the precariousness of pandemic recovery, with an especially intense second wave leaving consumers deeply pessimistic in Q4.»

Additional takeaways include:

Four critical dimensions of the COVID-19 crisis will shape global confidence in the coming months:

The trajectory of the pandemic: Consumer recovery will rest on health recovery. With second or third waves of COVID-19 infections looming in most global regions, new strains of the virus emerging, and vaccine rollout taking longer than expected in many markets, the recovery in confidence may slow substantially in the coming months.
The impact on jobs and household incomes: Millions of people worldwide have lost jobs and incomes due to COVID-related business closures and restrictions. Although fiscal measures have served to bridge gaps in income, consumer confidence will continue to face headwinds from labor market weakness until the pandemic is controlled.
Trust in government and its policies to mitigate the effects of the virus: Governments around the world have spent $12 trillion to minimize COVID-19’s impact. Both advanced and developing economies have enacted massive fiscal relief packages that have supported household balance sheets by keeping people employed and cancelling or deferring certain loans and tax payments. However, as fiscal taps run dry in certain markets, continued gains in consumer confidence may stall in the near term.
Widespread availability of COVID-19 treatments and vaccines: As advanced economies begin vaccination campaigns, many emerging markets may struggle to secure enough doses and to distribute them effectively. Looking ahead, an uneven recovery in consumer confidence is likely to emerge depending on each markets’ access to and deployment of vaccines.

Globally, consumers continued to reduce discretionary spending:

Spending on discretionary products and services decreased relative to 2020 Q2 in tandem with an active or looming second wave of COVID-19 infections and a ramping up of restrictions in several regions.
Due to widespread business closures, social distancing measures, and consumer fear, the share of consumers who spent discretionary income on hospitality services (vacations, out-of-home entertainment) continued to drop in Q4 and was significantly below (more than -10 pts) the average level a year prior.
Globally, consumers have been spending more time at home. In Q4, a smaller share of consumers reported spending on new clothes, likely due to a reduced public life, while the share spending on home improvements/decorating increased.
In Q4, as the pandemic wore on and fiscal support began to run dry, the share of consumers with no spare cash increased, and the share able to put discretionary money into savings or to invest it in financial assets decreased.

«Fiscal relief packages have helped keep consumers afloat worldwide,» said Denise Dahlhoff, Senior Researcher, Consumer Research, at The Conference Board. «However, pandemic conditions have changed spending patterns, as housebound consumers limit expenses on vacations and out-of-home entertainment. In some countries, including the US, fiscal support and reduced spending have left people more money for paying off debt as well as for home improvements.»

Confidence improved across all regions as fiscal support measures shored up personal finances and health and economic concerns eased. But regional disparities reveal the continued unpredictability of pandemic impacts worldwide:

Europe: The lack of improvement in sentiment about the jobs outlook was the primary factor behind the disappointing increase in confidence.

The second wave caught Europeans by surprise, coming sooner and stronger than expected and fueling fears of future job losses.
Confidence is likely to stagnate in 2021 Q1 despite high levels of policy support for jobs and firms and the start of the vaccination campaign in most European countries.

Asia-Pacific (AP): Consumer confidence in Q4 returned to pre-pandemic levels in 5 of 13 AP markets (38%), the most of any region.

Coupled with effective containment measures, fiscal stimulus packages in both advanced and emerging economies in the region helped maintain household finances and boosted confidence.
Looking ahead for the export-oriented region, potentially weakening external demand from other regions that continue to struggle to control the pandemic may be a downside risk to further gains in consumer confidence.

Latin America: In Q4, Latin America recovered about three-quarters of the fall in consumer confidence that occurred in Q2—the same as North America and significantly more than other regions.

Greater optimism about personal finances drove the recovery. As a percentage of GDP, the fiscal policy response of key emerging markets in the region is on par with that of some advanced economies, providing much needed income support to Latin American workers and households.
Yet with broad vaccination unlikely to happen until late 2021 or even early 2022, a second wave of infections and heightened restrictions in the near term will weigh on confidence.

Africa & The Middle East (A&ME): Consumer confidence in A&ME climbed into optimistic territory in Q4, due in part to fiscal measures that improved the job and financial outlook of consumers.

Consumers are the most optimistic in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), where confidence will likely remain resilient in the months ahead.
Pessimism is much higher in Africa, where heightened restrictions in response to a second wave and challenges accessing vaccines may suppress further gains in consumer confidence in the near term.

North America: Generous government relief packages have helped sustain households and businesses in both the US and Canada.

As a result, consumers in these markets are among the most upbeat globally, especially about their personal finances.
While news of the vaccine allayed health concerns and likely translated into improved consumer confidence, job losses in the final months of 2020 and heightened restrictions heading into 2021 will likely offset the full impact of the vaccine in the short term.

Molekule appoints first Chief Design Officer, As It Continues to Innovate on the Intersection of Science and Design

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Molekule, the…

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Molekule, the leader in reinventing air purification, today announced that Peter Riering-Czekalla will be the company’s first Chief Design Officer (CDO). The creation of the C-suite position signals the importance of human centered design when disrupting a stagnant industry, and underscores the necessity that new scientific advancements be created with the mindset that they must not only create cutting edge innovation, but deliver it effortlessly into people’s lives.

As CDO, Riering-Czekalla’s responsibilities include oversight of Molekule’s product design, digital services, user experience, and brand experience.

«The combination of design meets science has been central for Molekule since the start,» said Jaya Rao, CEO & Co-Founder. «Design was one of our key pillars from day one, as we knew air purifiers were typically difficult to use, easily breakable, and oftentimes, plastic boxes that people left in the corners of rooms to be forgotten. Our approach has always been different- to bring game changing technology to people’s fingertips in a formfactor that people want to have in their lives. This is beyond just design, it’s about building products that integrate science, innovation, hardware, and software, into products that people actually want to use.»

Riering-Czekalla joined Molekule as the company’s first hire in 2015. Serving as the Vice President of Product and Design, he was responsible for Molekule Air’s iconic shape and experience, bringing PECO technology in a smaller form factor to Air Mini and Air Mini+, launching the company’s first medical product, Air Pro RX, bringing a hybrid of consumer and commercial products to life in Air Pro; a product that is engineered for the needs of business yet designed beautifully enough for one’s home, and building out the company’s auto-filter refill model. He has also led the Molekule User Experience team, sustainable packaging strategy, marketing and brand efforts.

«If you only think about technology for the sake of technology, you’ll miss the consumer,» Riering-Czekalla stated. «Technology and science needs to be designed for easy adoption by users. And I also believe that consumer tech products can and should be beautiful – not hidden away but proudly showcased.»

Riering-Czekalla’s vision and designs continue to drive disruption in the air purification field. The established market was built around square and box-shaped air purifiers, lacking innovation, design appeal, and investment or thought around the user experience. Riering-Czekalla drove Molekule’s product design philosophy by upending legacy thinking in the space with a fresh approach to what an air purification device should be and how people should use it.

As a part of that vision, Riering-Czekalla was very intentional with Molekule’s packaging, building single-use, low-glue, interlocking packaging for products from the start, believing that packaging delivers an experience. From the box and the reusable bag the device comes in, to the cable cover, Molekule’s packaging is all very intentional.

Born and raised in Germany, Riering-Czekalla learned design at one of the top German design schools before starting his tenure at IDEO for almost a decade. At IDEO, he worked with major brands including Samsung, LG, Nike, Levi’s, Bacardi, Campbell’s, Microsoft, EA Sports, and First Republic Bank. He also designed the Nextbit Robin smartphone; worked on the future of hands-free interaction for Microsoft; designed the first line of touch-screen laptops for Acer; developed the high-net-worth VIP digital service experience for First Republic Bank.

About Molekule

Molekule is on a mission to provide clean indoor air to everyone, everywhere. Based on 25 years of research and development, the company’s patented photo electrochemical oxidation (PECO) technology destroys the widest range of pollutants, including VOCs, mold, bacteria, viruses, and allergens, when compared to conventional filters.

India Automotive Market Report 2020: Hatchback Segment Held the Largest Market Share of 49.17% in 2019 – Forecast to 2027

DUBLIN, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «India Automotive Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Passenger Vehicle…

DUBLIN, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «India Automotive Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Passenger Vehicle (Sedan, Hatchback, SUV), by Light Commercial Vehicle, by Heavy Truck, by Three Wheeler, by Bus & Coach, and Segment Forecasts, 2020-2027» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The India Automotive market demand is expected to reach 6,920,991 units by 2027 and anticipated to register a CAGR of 11.3% from 2020 to 2027.

The automotive demand is driven by the rapid adoption of technology and the strong policy support from the government. Additionally, increasing awareness about environmental concerns resulting in the adoption of alternate fuel vehicles (CNG, EVs), which, in turn, is driving the market growth.

Technological advancements in the entire supply chain are anticipated to drive the market in the next seven years. For instance, companies are adopting alternate channels such as e-commerce websites to sell vehicles. Selling commercial vehicles through e-commerce websites helps the OEMs in widening their distribution network and reducing the infrastructure and labor costs.

For example, Eicher Motors Limited has recently launched five new vehicles that are exclusively available through the e-commerce channel. Similarly, sales of Tata Motor’s small commercial vehicles and pickups have increased by 25% after the company opted for the e-commerce channel to sell its vehicles.

Amid the pandemic, the need to adhere to social distancing norms has encouraged consumers to invest in personal mobility options. This demand for personal transport options is a silver lining for automakers and is expected to marginally favor the growth of the country’s automotive industry over the forecast period.

Isolated transport options are emerging as the need of the hour, with several consumers opting for entry-level cars amid economic uncertainties. Shared mobility is expected to take a hit in the light of this ongoing trend. As the trend is significantly impacted by the consumer’s spending power, it is expected that consumers with high spending capacity will dominate the sales of personal transportation options.

India Automotive Market Report Highlights

The 2 to 3.5 Tons segment is anticipated to expand at the fastest CAGR exceeding 15.5% over the forecast period in the light commercial vehicle owing to their compact size and relatively lower prices.
The hatchback segment held the largest market share of 49.17% in 2019. This share is attributed to the increasing usage of small passenger vehicles by middle-class families.
The more than 25 tons segment held almost half of the total heavy trucks market in 2019. This is attributable to the rising usage of heavy trucks in the construction and mining industry.
The three-wheeler segment is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 10.6% over the forecasted period. Passenger transport over short distances is the primary factor driving the segment demand.
