SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — As demand for portable and standby generators reaches an all-time high, ZombieBox International announces today a Series A investment of $400,000 from DWP Capital.

ZombieBox, the world’s first at-scale producer of sound-reduction enclosures for portable and standby generators, is experiencing rapidly growing demand for their signature noise-reduction products. Sales of home generators are at an all-time high due to dynamic weather conditions related to climate change, as well as the effects of aging power infrastructures and the transition from traditional power to sustainable energy sources. 

The abundance of home generators, particularly in coastal municipalities, has led to increased noise pollution. Purchasers of alternate power solutions are now considering noise-mitigation strategies, such as the solutions offered by ZombieBox. The company’s products, which include a variety of enclosures and panels, reduce noise pollution and protect generators from adverse weather.

The lead investor was DWP Capital, a Scottsdale-based Family Office of David Paul. Paul, no stranger to venture investing in Arizona, is a partner at Canal Partners and a former Associate at Tallwave Capital.

«I am super excited about ZombieBox,» said Paul. «It’s the right product at the right time. Dave Leedy, Founder and CEO of ZombieBox, is a born entrepreneur, and I have the utmost confidence in his ability to scale production of this product with the right team around him.»

Leedy, who launched ZombieBox in 2014, says that the partnership will help his company reach its full potential.

«Our partnership with DWP is an exciting next step for our company,» said Leedy. «We are looking forward to the growth and efficiency improvements that DWP brings to the company and excited to see ZombieBox grow to become the global household brand that it was meant to be.»

Tim Hargis, who was recently added to the Zombie Box Advisory Board, is a direct-to-consumer e-commerce expert. As a member of the core team of Tuft & Needle, he helped the company grow from $10 million to $200 million. Now, he’s bringing his skills to bear with Zombie Box.

«I’m excited to work with the entire Zombie Box team on the next phase of growth for the company as they continue to innovate and manufacture industry-leading products in the noise control enclosure space,» said Tim. 

Over the last year, ZombieBox has experienced triple-digit growth. To keep up with market demand, the company is investing in major staffing and infrastructure improvements. ZombieBox recently tripled their plant space, and the company plans to double its staffing by the end of 2021. Funding from DWP will be used for marketing activities and continued product development.

SELBYVILLE, Del., Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Based on Global Market Insights Inc., report, the High Purity Alumina Market size was estimated at $1798.1 million in 2020 and is slated to surpass $4.5 billion by 2027, registering a CAGR of 15.1% from 2021 to 2027. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the top winning strategies, wavering industry trends, drivers & opportunities, top investment avenues, competitive scenarios, market estimations & size.

Alumina is widely used in a variety of applications as it has superior chemical & physical properties such as high heat resistance, excellent electrical isolation, high corrosion resistance, and abrasion resistance. The industry is witnessing a steady growth owing to the proliferating semiconductor sector. HPA is a fairly new industrial-use material employed in the fabrication of semiconductor devices.

The demand for semiconductors is affected by several different underlying end-user applications including data processing, consumer electronics, and communication that account for a prominent share. Its applicability in personal computers, gaming consoles, tablets, television, servers, and iPods has escalated the demand for high-definition display screens, which will subsequently augment the high purity alumina market share.

Request for Sample Report: https://www.gminsights.com/request-sample/detail/1254

The demand for HPA is expanding in fields, such as display materials, energy, semiconductors, computers, and automobiles. In the field of liquid crystal display manufacturing equipment and semiconductors manufacturing equipment, a significant number of alumina components with a high level of plasma corrosion-resistant is utilized. Additionally, these are used for incorporating plasma spray coatings on aluminum, chromium, zinc, nickel, zirconium, or other similar alloys.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted high purity alumina market size owing to the demand crunch in several parts of the world. The virus is highly contagious due to which most of the nations have announced the repetitive imposition of stringent lockdowns and movement restrictions on domestic and international trade & travel. These restrictive factors have a significant impact on the product demand. However, the industry is expected to rebound in 2021 with the establishment of strict guidelines and demand gradually returning to normalcy.

High purity alumina can be produced in different ways, the most common being the hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxide. The hydrolysis segment will witness around 15% CAGR as the process is used by the majority of manufacturers in the sector and involves costly & highly processed raw materials including aluminum metal. Altech has patented the production technology to obtain up to 4N grade HPA directly from aluminous ores such as kaolin or aluminous clay. The company has also invented a flexible finished product line capable of manufacturing HPA products for the synthetic sapphire industry and the lithium-ion battery sector. Another major manufacturer, Orbite, has developed and patented a process for obtaining superior-grade HPA using fly ash as the principal feedstock

The 6N is a very niche product segment and holds a significant share in the high purity alumina market. The purity level of 6N is 99.9999% and is used in thin-film & sputtering applications. In addition, it is utilized in abrasive, alumina ceramics, and separation membranes. Such high purity grade alumina finds very specific applications and costs exorbitantly higher than the other two product categories. Development in cost-effective production techniques may reduce segment pricing in the future.

The phosphor segment is poised to witness around 15% CAGR in high purity alumina market size. A rapid surge of phosphor-based equipment and appliances including plasma TVs in which pure alumina is used to control & regulate the characteristics of phosphorous products is anticipated to rise and aid in increasing the product market during the forecast timeframe.

Request for customization of this report: https://www.gminsights.com/roc/1254

Latin America high purity alumina market size will cross over USD 350 million by 2027 with the expansion in regional LED manufacturing. It is due to cost-effective labor, easy availability of raw materials, and abundance of land. The product is widely used in the manufacturing processes of electronic goods. The Middle East & Africa will witness steady growth owing to the lack of manufacturing sectors in the region. However, fast-developing scenarios in the Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia, will have a significant influence on the regional high purity alumina market growth over the forecast span.

Strategic mergers and acquisitions by high purity alumina industry players to increase regional presence. Major players comprise Altech, Baikowski SAS, Alcoa Corporation, Orbite Technologies, Inc., Nippon Light Metal Holdings Company Ltd., Norsk Hydro ASA, United Company RUSAL Plc, Rio Tinto Alcan, Hebei Pengda Advanced Materials Technology Co., Ltd., Shangdong Keheng Crystal Material Technologies Co., Ltd., Zibo Honghe Chemicals Co., Ltd., Chalco Shangdong Co., Ltd., and Polar Sapphire.

ATLANTA, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — To celebrate National Battery Day on February 18, Call2Recycle^®, the country’s first and largest consumer battery stewardship and recycling program, announced today that their collection partners, stewards, and consumers recycled 8.4 million pounds of batteries throughout the U.S. in 2020, an 11% increase from 2019. The collection milestone underscores the organization’s work over the last 26 years to safely collect and recycle used consumer batteries.

With millions across the nation homebound last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers might have been deterred from taking batteries to a recycling collection location. However, for many, being at home created opportunities to organize, clean and manage items that may have otherwise gone overlooked – like batteries. A recent Ipsos survey commissioned by Call2Recycle revealed that consumer recycling trends remained robust, mirroring each other on the East and West Coasts. More than half of respondents in both Vermont and California reported they recycled all or some of their batteries in 2020, while more than 40% of respondents were storing all or some of their consumer batteries for a future recycling trip.  

The COVID-19 pandemic and stay home orders impacted Call2Recycle’s rechargeable battery collections, which declined by 10% from 2019, yet the total volume of batteries collected led to historic collection numbers surpassing its record collections set in 2017. The increased usage and handling of batteries place an even greater need for consumers to understand the safety and environmental risks associated with improperly managing batteries at their end of life.  Call2Recycle will further expand its awareness and education efforts and diverse service and solution offerings to help prevent battery safety incidents and motivate consumers to take responsible action.

Call2Recycle particularly saw a surge in its partners’ commitment to recycle primary batteries, which proved to be a driving force in the organization’s 2020 landmark collection numbers with 3.2 million pounds of primary batteries collected, a growth of 77% compared to 2019. Other sectors that contributed to notable primary battery collections included retailers with more than 2.3 million pounds, battery manufacturers with 1.8 million pounds and healthcare with 145,000 pounds.

«Achieving record-breaking collection numbers during a global pandemic is a testament to our incredible stewards and program partners,» said Leo Raudys, CEO & President of Call2Recycle, Inc. «We are exceedingly thankful to everyone involved in our program who helped make the year a success particularly during such a difficult time.»

Consumer battery recycling is an easy and impactful activity to conserve natural resources and protect the planet. Learn how to get started and find a battery recycling location near you by visiting call2recycle.org.
