Elephantech and Logitech Together Drive Disruptive Electronics Innovation

Posted on April 25, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

TOKYO, April 25, 2025 /3BL/ – Elephantech Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, Japan; CEO: Shinya Shimizu) announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Logitech International to revolutionize peripherals manufacturing and the printed circuit board (PCB) industry. By integrating Elephantech’s SustainaCircuits, an innovative low-carbon PCB technology, Logitech becomes the first global company to incorporate this cutting-edge solution into mass production for its computer mice.

At the core of this collaboration lies SustainaCircuits, an additive PBC printing process. Using 3D inkjet printing technology and copper plating, Elephantech’s proprietary PCB manufacturing process eliminates the traditional etching process, significantly reducing waste and lowering carbon emissions.

The collaboration aligns seamlessly with Logitech’s（Design for Sustainability) approach, underscoring a mutual commitment to reducing product carbon footprint. By adopting SustainaCircuits, Logitech builds on its sustainable design leadership, focusing on ways to design smarter, and with less energy and waste.

“I am thrilled to announce this significant milestone in our journey towards a sustainable future for electronics, achieved in collaboration with Logitech. While humanity possesses the ideas and technologies theoretically capable of shaping a sustainable future, the greatest challenge has always been commercialization. This process demands both risk-takers willing to bring technologies to the market and early adopters ready to embrace them. From the moment we began working with Logitech, their capability has consistently impressed us. Without their commitment, the remarkable achievement we announce today would not have been possible. I hope that this collaboration model will serve as a catalyst, inspiring the tech industry to accelerate its progress towards a more sustainable future,” said Shinya Shimizu, Chief Executive Officer of Elephantech Inc.

“Elephantech embodies Logitech’s ethos of driving meaningful changes in the consumer electronics industry by working to reduce our environmental footprint,” said Prakash Arunkundrum, President, Logitech for Business. “SustainaCircuits has the potential to redefine industry standards and inspire further progress. Enterprising companies like Elephantech bring dynamism to traditional industries. We were thrilled to see this collaboration, initiated through Logitech’s Future Positive Challenge, come to life. Their groundbreaking technology is already making an impact in our MX Vertical mouse, demonstrating that sustainable technologies are not merely about invention – but about scaling real world solutions at a global level.”

The collaboration began in 2023, when Elephantech emerged as a winner in Logitech’s Future Positive Challenge. Logitech’s team offered valuable guidance, expertise, and brand support following an initial pitch of the innovative low-carbon PCB solution. Collaborative work sessions played a vital role in refining SustainaCircuits, ensuring the seamless integration of the innovative PCB technology into its first product.

Looking ahead, Elephantech will continue to expand its sustainable PCB solutions portfolio and enhance production capacity to meet growing global demand. The company remains committed to supporting electronics manufacturers worldwide in their decarbonization initiatives through innovative, environmentally conscious technologies.

Bacardi Is Putting Money Behind People To Make Sure AI Doesn’t Replace Your Bartender

Posted on April 25, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Originally published on adweek.com

By Robert Klara

While AI hasn’t booted human bartenders out of their jobs en masse, for the past several years, Bacardi—whose portfolio includes Grey Goose vodka and tequila brand Patrón—has been investing its money to help ensure that it doesn’t.

Bacardi is expanding a global training initiative called Shake Your Future. The program (free of charge for those selected), bestows its graduates with an international bartender certification and has pledged to mint 10,000 mixologists by 2030. In February, it added Glasgow to a long list of European cities where it already operates.

“The techniques of being a great bartender [include] the broader skills around hospitality itself,” said Alex Tomlin, SVP and head of marketing for Bacardi North America, “which is essentially about customer interaction.”

Just as artificial intelligence has crept into professions like finance, retail, and content creation, it’s been heading for the corner pub, too. In 2019, for example, U.K. startup DataSparq debuted its AI Bar, which uses facial-recognition technology to serve patrons in the order they walked in the door. Last year, Diageo introduced a digital platform called What’s Your Cocktail?, which uses the company’s FlavorPrint AI technology to generate personalized libations. In the back room, meanwhile, AI management app Backbar can crunch customer data to predict demand, control inventory, and order booze.

Like many in the business, Tomlin has watched the growth of AI. He appreciates its power to help cut waste, boost margins, and even concoct some novel drink recipes.

“But none of that changes the importance of why people go to bars,” he told ADWEEK, “which is all about human interaction.”

In 2022, the liquor giant created Future Proof, a specialized curriculum for students at Florida International University’s Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism. The training goes beyond how to pour drinks and into mixology’s finer points including cocktail history and spirits distillation.

Amid Industry Luminaries, Cascale Engages Fashion Students on Utilizing Higg Index To Scale Sustainability

Posted on April 25, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff, director of communications at Cascale, recently presented insights at the Arizona State University Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (ASU FIDM) Fashion Symposium 2025. Directed by Dennita Sewell, ASU FIDM reaches nearly 900 students across two campuses, incubating leaders with a full range of synchronous programming. The university also boasts opportunities at the Wearable Technology Lab in Phoenix, AZ, and the Fashion Futures Research Lab and ASU FIDM Museum in Los Angeles, CA.

At the Fashion Symposium 2025 event, which took place at the university’s cutting edge Fusion on First housing and workplace complex in Phoenix, industry leaders inspired a full house of students, including newly recognized recipients of the 2025 Fashion Scholarship Fund. Sarnoff shared her journey at Cascale and then detailed how the organization’s Higg Index tools can be used to Combat Climate Change and Support Decent Work for All.

In addition to Sarnoff, speakers included Jill Hub, senior design manager of women’s apparel at The Walt Disney Company, and Marrisa Wilson, creative director and founder of MARRISA WILSON New York, who took the stage to talk about their paths from art school to career. Beth Forsberg, VP and chief sustainability officer at Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona, explained what Goodwill is doing to close the loop on waste, and Sharleen Ernster, CEO and founder of We Are HAH, detailed her journey from Victoria’s Secret to founding the We Are HAH eco luxury swim and intimates line.

In conversation with Christina Frank, curator of the ASU FIDM Museum in Los Angeles, Jess Cuevas, art director for WILLY CHAVARRIA, shared how he ended up working with clients like Madonna. Later, Sewell was joined onstage by the legendary artist Ruben Toledo, who also collaborated with his late wife, the fashion designer Isabel Toledo. After her presentation, Sarnoff joined Ernster onstage to discuss sustainability in fashion with Danielle Testa, assistant professor and fashion business management track lead at Arizona State University.

The conversations were especially relevant to students when contextualized as part of a wider narrative. In conclusion, Cuevas said: “Fashion is what time looks like, it is the fingerprint of time. Love is the compass to determine what you do in life… Who would have thought that two Cuban refugees would go on to dress the First Lady of the United States? That’s proof the American Dream exists.”

Declining Aluminum Recycling Rates

Posted on April 25, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Originally published by American Recycler News, Inc.

According to a recent report by the Aluminum Association and the Can Manufacturers Institute, the recycling rate for aluminum beverage cans has hit the lowest point in decades, declining from an average of 52 percent in 1990 to a 43 percent recycling rate in 2023.

According to Mark Rea II, general manager of supply and trading with Georgia-Pacific Recycling, there are several factors that have led to the current 30 year low for aluminum recycling rates.

First, is the unintended consequence of single stream recycling. Single stream recycling has helped boost recycling rates in general by enabling different types of recycled goods to be collected in one receptacle. But, unfortunately, single stream recycling leads to the contamination of some of those recycled items, like aluminum, and there’s a lack of technology to address that contamination.

As Rea explained, the result is that some aluminum collected through single stream recycling can’t actually be recycled.

Samsonite’s sustainability mission reaches new heights with innovative circular luggage, featuring Digital Product Passports

Posted on April 25, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

OUDENAARDE, Belgium, April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Building on its legacy of innovation, Samsonite pushes the boundaries by announcing two new limited edition circular collections featuring the brand’s first Digital Product Passports, contributing to redefining sustainability efforts in the luggage industry.

Just one year ago, the brand launched a limited edition of their ESSENS™ collection, its first-ever suitcase that closed the production loop by using pre-owned suitcases as part of the material for the outer shells.

Samsonite is pushing the boundaries even further by launching two new circular luggage limited editions, which also carry a Digital Product Passport – a true breakthrough in enhancing transparency across the product lifecycle and providing access to key details about how we’ve incorporated more sustainable solutions, materials origin, and regulatory compliance.

Innovate to move the world
The ESSENS^™ Circular and PROXIS^™ Circular limited collections are an outcome of Samsonite’s global sustainability strategy, “Our Responsible Journey”.

“These new limited collections reflect our company’s commitment to continually innovating our products to help move the world forward,” says Kyle Gendreau, Samsonite’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible for the luggage industry while achieving the same level of quality and durability that customers expect from Samsonite.”

Both circular limited editions are designed, developed and made in Europe. Discover the story of PROXIS™ Circular here and ESSENS™ Circular here.

ESSENS™ Circular collection – Giving waste a new life
Samsonite collected, disassembled, and used old suitcases to re-create the new ESSENS™ Circular suitcases.

The outer shell is made with at least 35% pre-owned recycled suitcases, plus recycled polymers from LyondellBasell, totaling at least 80% recycled materials in the outer shells (by weight). The suitcase overall contains at least 70% recycled materials (by total product weight)*.

*The % by weight of recycled materials apply to the ESSENS™ Circular Spinner 75 model. The % will slightly differ for the smaller size (Spinner 55).

For more specific details, please visit http://samsonite.co.uk/circular

PROXIS™ Circular collection – Now even more sustainable
This collection features Samsonite’s first suitcase incorporating bio-circular materials, developed by LyondellBasell. The suitcase shells are produced using the ISCC mass balance approach with used cooking oil.

The pull handle contains at least 85% post-consumer recycled materials, and the interior lining is made with 100% recycled PET. The PROXIS™ Circular suitcases contain 65% bio-circular and recycled materials.*

*The % by weight of bio-circular and recycled materials apply to the PROXIS™ Circular Spinner 75 model. The % will slightly differ for the other sizes (Spinner 55 and 81).

Samsonite has achieved the ISCC PLUS certification for the PROXIS™ Circular collection.
