OTTAWA, ON, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – As the electronics industry faces mounting pressure to provide transparent, quantifiable environmental data, Claigan is presenting a new webinar on March 18th designed to be the most technically comprehensive session currently available on LCA, EPD, and PCR for electronics broken down in a way that you can understand.
Creating an LCA or EPD for your product can give you increased market access and provide a mechanism for demonstrating year-over-year improvements. Nobody wants to be shut out of a purchasing tender while their competitors gain the edge. And by 2028, all products sold to the NHS in the UK require specific carbon foot printing via the LCA process.
Moving past the high-level overviews that dominate the industry, this webinar is designed specifically for environmental engineers, sustainability officers, and product compliance managers who require a granular understanding of the mechanics behind life cycle assessments. Claigan has found that professionals in the electronics sector are tired of basic sustainability overviews; they need the hard math for complex regulatory frameworks.
Claigan’s webinar will discuss the detailed difference between Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), and how they are tied together by Product Category Rules (PCR).
Key topics will include:
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Environmental Product Declaration (EPD)
Product Category Rules (PCR)
PCR 2024-06 Electronic and electric equipment, and electronic components
Required stages
How to create LCA information for components of your products
Questions you need to answer to complete an LCA
Where LCAs add value to tenders or are required
Note – due to the expected demand, there will be two (2) webinars scheduled on March 18.

Claigan is an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, expert consultancy, and is dedicated to providing practical solutions for supply chain due diligence and social responsibility.
At Claigan, our philosophy is simple: Less Journey, More Results.
When communities are tested by tragedy, recovery is not only about rebuilding—it’s about restoring hope, dignity, and a sense of belonging. In Los Angeles County, families impacted by the devastating wildfires of 2025 know this reality all too well. Entire neighborhoods were altered overnight, and for many communities like Altadena, the loss extended far beyond physical structures.
The LA Clippers, Habitat for Humanity, Nike and Comcast NBCUniversal came together to host the final of three home builds for LA County families whose lives were upended by the 2025 wildfires.
At Comcast NBCUniversal, we believe that strong teams build strong communities. That belief guided our partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles, NBA, the LA Clippers, and San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity, as we came together to support more than 112 households rebuilding their lives after unimaginable loss.
Kathy Behrens, NBA President of Social Responsibility & Player Programs, kick off the day by welcoming hundreds of attendees and partners.
Our employee volunteers were central to this work. Over several months, and three community build days in October, December, and February, Comcast NBCUniversal employee volunteers worked alongside Clippers teammates and coaches, Habitat experts, and community members to construct homes, frame walls, assemble furniture, and create spaces where families can thrive. This direct hands-on support of families reinforced the idea that recovery is not something we do for communities, but with them. Our volunteers alongside Clippers players, coaches and NBA legends added an inspiring reminder that rebuilding is a shared responsibility, and that community extends far beyond team lines or corporate walls.

This effort is deeply connected to Project UP, our comprehensive commitment to build a future of unlimited possibilities. Safe, stable housing is foundational to that commitment.
Dalila Wilson-Scott, Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation President, welcomes attendees and thanks partners for collaborating to make impact in the communities we serve.
The final community build and home unveiling took place at the 18th Annual NBA Carers All-Star Day of Service in Los Angeles. And two families — one from Los Angeles and one from the San Gabriel Valley — were recognized as the newest recipients of homes built through this effort. Hosting this milestone during a global celebration of sports underscored the spirit of teamwork and unity that defined the entire effort.

Our commitment to Los Angeles County will not end with the final build. Comcast NBCUniversal has a long-standing presence in California, and we remain dedicated to serving the communities where our employees live and work. From disaster recovery to workforce development and community partnerships, we continue to invest in initiatives that create lasting impact and advance opportunity for generations to come.
Local Habitat for Humanity CEOs Erin Rank and Bryan Wong express gratitude for helping Angelenos impacted by the 2025 wildfires.
We are incredibly proud of our employees who volunteered their time, skills, and hearts to this effort. Their dedication reflects the best of Comcast NBCUniversal and our shared values of service, impact, inclusion, and care. When we show up together—across companies, sectors, and communities—we don’t just rebuild homes. We help rebuild lives.

SALT LAKE CITY, March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Pura, a home-fragrance company committed to creating meaningful experiences through scent, is proud to debut the Pura x Malala Fund Collection—four fragrances inspired by the courage of girls who are pursuing their right to learn and by Malala Fund’s transformative work across Brazil, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Pakistan.
Malala Fund, founded by Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai, champions a world where every girl can access and complete 12 years of education. Their work spans some of the world’s most challenging contexts globally, where girls face steep barriers to completing their education, and where locally led, community-rooted solutions are creating powerful, lasting change.
After four years of partnership, Pura’s philanthropic collaboration with Malala Fund finds new expression through a collection that scents with a purpose. Each fragrance draws inspiration from the dedication of local advocates, the strength and hope of girls fighting for their education, and the beauty and spirit of the communities they call home. Together, these elements shaped a scent collection designed to honor Malala Fund’s mission through the evocative power of scent.
“Malala Fund’s work reminds us that when girls learn, communities grow stronger and the world becomes more equitable,” said Bruno Lima, Pura’s CEO and Founder. “We created this collection as a love letter to the girls and the places that inspired it—each fragrance a tribute to their courage, creativity, and hope.”
From Brazil’s lush rainforest and salty beaches to Nigeria’s red-earth villages, from Pakistan’s soaring mountain ranges to Tanzania’s chai-scented spice markets, each country holds a distinct rhythm and beauty. These landscapes, rich in culture and alive with possibility, inspired the fragrance design of the Pura x Malala Fund Collection.
The collection was designed to reflect both the diversity and unity of Malala Fund’s global movement: girls advocating for their futures, local leaders driving change, and communities evolving to build a brighter and more inclusive world. Every fragrance embodies the belief that education is freedom and that unlocking opportunity for girls unlocks opportunity for everyone.

“Extreme winter weather just becomes your norm here,” says Brian Gould, Industry Segment Advisor, T-Mobile. “I love the snow but, sometimes, I feel like I’d be alright with moving somewhere I’d never have to see it again.”
As Gould looked at images of winter storm Fern, a storm that impacted millions in 34 states in January 2026, a familiar tension built. He knew better than most how extreme winter weather could affect a community after being at the forefront of emergency response during a historic blizzard just three years earlier in his home of Cheektowaga, New York.
Just days before Christmas in December 2022, with many residents on the roads for last-minute holiday shopping, a powerful blizzard struck Western New York, bringing a dangerous combination of heavy lake-effect snow, extreme winds and subzero wind chills.
“I remember sitting in the command center, hearing 911 calls of people having medical emergencies in their vehicles, knowing that if we didn’t get there, that person was likely going to die,” he says, reflecting on his time as a police chief.
As conditions worsened, police vehicles became stranded and power outages disrupted utilities, leaving some residents without heat. During the multi-day rescue operation, first responders were hampered by strained communication systems as the scale of the emergency intensified.
What I learned during the Buffalo blizzard is why I am here now: to ensure first responders’ voices are heard when it comes to having the lifesaving connectivity they need to do their jobs.
Brian Gould, Retired Police & Fire Chief, T-Mobile Industry Segment Advisor
“We were trying to coordinate across dozens of agencies, and it became incredibly difficult to keep people on the same page,” he says. “At the base of all of it with police, fire, highway crews, contractors and senior services was communication. And that became a major challenge during the storm.”
The event underscored how quickly emergencies can escalate and how critical real-time communication, coordination and preparedness are when every minute matters.
That’s why, after 30 years in public service in roles that span from 911 dispatcher, to volunteer fire chief and police chief in Cheektowaga, Gould is still focused on keeping people safe from the dangers of intense weather and helping first responders stay connected as a public safety strategist for T-Mobile, a role he’s had since 2023.
“It’s still service, it just looks a little different now,” he says. “I’m here to dig in, sit alongside first responders and make sure their technology works when they need it most. Serving the community has really formed who I am.”
That technology comes from T-Mobile’s modern and intelligent network. From self-healing infrastructure powered by AI and data to 5G enabled drones, satellite connectivity and prioritized 5G for first responders, T-Mobile is evolving what it means to be ready.
Gould says he and almost 50 retired police officers on T-Mobile’s public safety team, who have nearly 1,400 years of combined experience, inform the company on ways to best keep communities and first responders connected nationwide.
“Our approach is layered, because that’s the kind of redundancy needed during an emergency,” says Gould. “What I learned during the Buffalo blizzard is why I am here now: to ensure first responders’ voices are heard when it comes to having the lifesaving connectivity they need to do their jobs.”
The Technology Behind T-Mobile’s Public Safety Strategy
T-Priority: A dedicated 5G network slice designed specifically for public safety, providing first responders with the highest priority access, lower latency and faster speeds across all 5G bands, especially during times of congestion. T-Satellite: The nation’s first direct-to-cell satellite service, enabling emergency texting and essential data connectivity in areas with no traditional cell coverage. T-Satellite now powers data on popular apps like WhatsApp, Google Maps and AllTrails on most smartphones from the last four years. Self-Organizing Network (SON): An AI-powered system that continuously monitors the network and makes real-time adjustments — such as tilting antennas, rerouting traffic and conserving power to keep people connected during outages and emergencies.
Technology at the Forefront
While sitting in his car, with a steady snowfall now covering his windshield, Gould took a video call with members of his public safety team regarding plans for storm Fern, the focus being on helping people stay safe, connected and informed while T-Mobile coordinated with public safety and emergency management partners to assess their needs.
“I support both sides — helping T-Mobile understand what first responders actually need and helping them understand what’s possible with today’s technology.” Gould explains. “T-Mobile’s technology is way more advanced than what agencies have traditionally relied on.”
T-Priority is a key T-Mobile public safety solution that opened his eyes to the innovation that sets the company apart, he says. T-Priority features a dedicated 5G network slice that helps provide first responders with lower latency and faster speeds more consistently to give them the highest priority across all 5G bands.
That means the essential tools that agencies depend on every day, like smartphones, tablets, thermal imaging and radios, run on a network that keeps up with them, even during times of extreme congestion.
“We optimize traffic around to help keep emergency communications moving,” Gould explains. “It’s technology that also comes with someone like me to reach out and see how I can fix this challenge you’re experiencing so you can focus on doing your job in those most critical moments. It’s what I would have wanted for me and my team during the 2022 blizzard.”
He often explains to people that if you don’t see a T-Mobile satellite truck out during an emergency, it doesn’t mean the network isn’t up and running. Alternatives like the company’s Self-Organizing Network (SON) are at play, using AI and automation to remotely tilt antennas and reroute signals around outages more efficiently and safely in harsh conditions.
“I mean it when I say T-Mobile saw the future and built for it,” Gould says. “T-Satellite is an example of a unique T-Mobile solution that already has proven data. It’s wild to think there are more than 650 satellites orbiting over the United States that our compatible smartphones can automatically connect to.”
Gould says when you combine T-Mobile’s technological innovation with his team’s personalized service, you get solutions before, during and after a major event.
“It’s not just about how we show up in the events,” he says, “but also on our blue-sky days, when nothing is happening, the real work begins to make sure first responders understand what’s available before they ever even need it.”
How T-Mobile Responds When Disaster Strikes
T-Mobile’s expanded drone program supports emergency response by providing temporary coverage, situational awareness and aerial visibility — especially in areas inaccessible by ground vehicles.
Vehicles such as SatCOWs (Satellite Cell on Wheels) and SatCOLTs (Satellite Cell on Light Trucks) can be quickly deployed to restore coverage when infrastructure is damaged or overwhelmed.
Service Before and After the Storm
In January, as he and his teammates discussed strategies to meet the needs of communities in Fern’s wintery path, Gould reflected on how the philosophy of his work has remained intact as he transitioned careers.
“I was a Boy Scout and a lifeguard before I became a 911 dispatcher and then a firefighter and police officer. I honestly feel this was a natural next step in my journey to serve,” Gould explains. “I know firsthand how the decisions to equip teams with the right connectivity tools can make all the difference and my job now is to prove that we’re looking, we’re listening, we’re learning and we’re always striving to do better.”
Later, as he passed by his locker of tactical gear at the fire station where he is still an active volunteer firefighter responding to emergencies in his free time, he picked up his black helmet — just one of many hats he’s worn as a public servant and now at T-Mobile.
“What I love about my role at T-Mobile is I am here to understand what communities need and to support them, whether they’re T-Mobile customers or not,” he says. “We are going to be reaching out to the agencies and communities that are affected by disasters, offering to support them however we can. We’re here to help and we’re here to keep communities safe.”

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A groundbreaking antibiotic treatment used in many parts of the Caribbean and on Florida’s Coral Reef to combat stony coral tissue loss disease does not exhibit negative side effects, scientists at Nova Southeastern University, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Florida and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), have confirmed.
Beginning in 2019, NSU scientist Karen Neely and her team were among several groups that began applying an in-water topical antibiotic paste on diseased lesions on wild corals in Florida. The treatment resulted in extremely high coral survival and preservation of living coral tissue. As of May 2025, more than 31,000 corals have been treated using the paste in Florida’s Coral Reef, the only barrier reef system in the continental United States.
The use of antibiotics in a wild setting initially raised concerns that such an application could increase antibiotic-resistant genes in corals and possibly disrupt the microorganisms that live within and on corals. However, the latest research results show no disruption to the microbial community and no changes in antibiotic-resistant genes following treatments.
“We now have evidence that this treatment not only saves corals, but does so safely,” Neely said. “That’s critical as scientists look for tools to slow the loss of reefs.”
Stony coral tissue loss disease has greatly affected stony coral species in the Caribbean, including more than 20 of the about 45 species of reef-builders and five of the U.S. endangered species-listed Caribbean coral species. Since emerging in South Florida in 2014 and spreading through most of the Caribbean since 2017, the disease has caused mortality rates of 67 to 100 percent of some species, leading to significant losses in coral cover, biodiversity, and ecosystem function.
Coral reefs, often called the “rainforests of the sea,” play vital ecological and environmental roles in protecting coastlines, supporting fisheries, and sustaining tourism economies. Beyond their ecological importance, coral reefs also provide significant economic value. According to the USGS, U.S. reefs provide about $1.8 billion annually in flood protection benefits alone.
The findings validate disease intervention strategies used on Florida’s Coral Reef. As scientists and managers continue to work to protect reef systems, NSU researchers say the study offers evidence of science-based solutions that can help preserve coral reefs for future generations, ecosystem services, and economic value.

Following the European Commission’s approval of the Apparel & Footwear Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) in 2025, industry leaders gathered in Madrid to explore what implementation will require in practice — and whether companies are ready.
Opening the session, Baptiste Carriere-Pradal, cofounder of 2B Policy, presented the foundations of the Apparel & Footwear PEFCR: a harmonized, science-based methodology built on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Structured around 16 environmental impact indicators, it enables brands to identify environmental hotspots across a product’s lifecycle. The methodology goes beyond carbon, incorporating durability, repairability, and duration of service, reinforcing a broader approach to product performance.
Moderated by Sónia Flotats, director of Move!, the panel that followed examined how the PEFCR connects to the evolving European regulatory framework.
Marina Prados Espínola, director at Policy Hub, framed the broader legislative landscape, noting that the Joint Research Centre (JRC) is conducting the Preparatory Study that will inform the Textile Delegated Act under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). This study aims to define how environmental footprint information is measured and reported.
María Gonzalez-Torres, project officer at the European Commission, JRC, provided insight into the technical reasoning behind including footprint-based requirements alongside parameters such as durability and fiber composition. A footprint-based approach, she explained, allows regulators to capture impacts that single-attribute requirements alone may miss. The discussion also touched on comparative scoring approaches — assessing whether a product performs better or worse than the average — rather than relying solely on absolute values.
Bringing the industry perspective, Jeremy Lardeau, senior vice president of the Higg Index at Cascale, emphasized that the core challenge is no longer methodology, but implementation. While the PEFCR provides a strong scientific foundation, the real challenge lies in delivering the level of data and collaboration required to implement it meaningfully at scale.
Bridging the Industry Data Gap
A central theme of the discussion was the data availability challenge. While simplified footprint methodologies exist, they rely on minimal inputs and can miss supply chain complexity. The Apparel & Footwear PEFCR, by contrast, requires more granular product-level information, including detailed bills of materials and manufacturing data.
Many brands do not yet systematically collect or structure this data at the product level. Products are composed of multiple materials and components sourced across global supply chains, and much of the required information sits beyond a brand’s direct control. Meaningful implementation will require stronger data exchange and collaboration with manufacturers across tiers.
Lardeau highlighted the role of secondary databases in supporting Life Cycle Assessment. These datasets help fill primary data gaps and enable full product footprint calculations when supplier-level data is incomplete. However, they are not a substitute for improving primary data collection.
From Measurement to Collaboration
The conversation surfaced a key trade-off: precision versus scalability. More granular primary data improves accuracy but is harder to scale. Simplified approaches enable broader uptake, but risk losing nuance.
Ultimately, speakers agreed that footprint calculation alone will not drive transformation. The greatest opportunity for impact lies at the factory level, where improvements in energy use, material efficiency, and production practices can materially reduce environmental impact.
As Lardeau emphasized, one brand alone cannot shift the sector’s footprint. Long-term progress will depend on structured collaboration between brands and manufacturers, shared data, and tangible operational improvements.
The PEFCR defines what and how to measure. Turning that measurement into meaningful impact will depend on collective action.
