The brand’s medium-term goal is to reach 30% recycled content by 2030.

“By leveraging our innovative circular materials and expertise, we are supporting packaging redesign for recyclability, and the development and incorporation of advanced recycled materials into contact-sensitive applications. This is key to enabling customers and brands to meet voluntary circular plastic packaging commitments and legislative requirements,” said Marian Gmenta, marketing lead for circular & renewable solutions at Dow.

Addressing consumer preferences for circular solutions in pet food packaging

Nature’s Variety has observed that recyclable and sustainable packaging has been gaining relevance amongst consumers. This trend underscores the importance of developing packaging solutions that not only protect the product but also contribute to a circular economy.

“At Nature’s Variety, we are aware of the footprint left by our decisions. This is why we are not only committed to providing the best for our pets, but also to reducing the impact we have on the environment. To do so, we have defined a series of specific actions,” said Ilaria Bianchi, international marketing manager, Nature’s Variety. “This new packaging designed for recyclability and including recycled plastic content, thus reducing the use of virgin plastic, marks one big step in this direction and reflects our dedication to innovation.”

The new pouch will be on display alongside other innovative Dow packaging solutions at K 2025 in Dusseldorf, Germany from 8-15 October, at the Dow building 04.1, outside Hall 4. To learn more, visit Generation Transformation.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 6, 2025 /3BL/ – The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) today announced the live implementation of its Responsible Business Transparency Protocol (RBTP), a data exchange protocol built on the United Nations Transparency Protocol (UNTP) and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) verifiable credentials.

Global supply chains are extremely complex, regulations are constantly evolving, and governments and customers are increasingly requiring provenance and other documentation to verify claims ranging from proof of origin to sustainability and due diligence. To address these challenges, the RBTP is an industry-specific extension of the UNTP that helps enable verifiable, portable, and interoperable supply chain data exchange across the automotive, electronics, and related sectors and helps enable the foundation of n-tier traceability.

Instead of relying on spreadsheets, PDFs, or siloed platforms to share sustainability and other data, companies can issue digital credentials. With a simple scan of a bar code or QR code, or by clicking on a hyperlink, these credentials can be accepted, passed along and checked by others, either manually or using existing tools and platforms.

The RBA recently began a collaborative pilot of the RBTP, bringing together diverse supply chain actors to test the protocol against data-sharing challenges, data complexities, and audit standard interoperability in mineral supply chains. The pilot aims to provide proof of concept for the RBTP and practical insights for the tools and engagement required to help ensure scaling throughout supply chains.

This pilot spans copper, cobalt, lithium and tantalum, which are critical minerals that underpin modern electronics – everything from EV batteries to smartphones. More than 20 organizations are involved, including upstream producers, downstream buyers, standards bodies, and a government agency. The goal is to demonstrate how a protocol built for traceability, auditability, and interoperability can work under complex, real-world conditions. With its large and diverse membership across the electronics, automotive, retail, and other sectors and its members’ suppliers on multiple continents, the RBA is uniquely positioned to pilot and pressure-test the infrastructure needed to facilitate transparency between suppliers and buyers across supply chain tiers.

“The Responsible Business Transparency Protocol is grounded in UN standards, with the technical specifications clearly defined to support broad adoption by governments and industries around the world,” said Tyler Gillard, Chief Strategy Officer, Responsible Business Alliance (RBA). “That means it’s designed to be adapted to local needs and regulations, and works using open-source technologies, across existing software and systems. Data stays with the owner so they can decide what data gets shared.”

Pyx Global, a UNTP acceleration partner, is supporting the RBA to coordinate the collaborative supply chain pilot. In addition to designing the technical backbone, Pyx is supporting the RBA in aligning with UNTP requirements and adapting the RBTP to reflect sector-specific needs.

The pilot will examine scenarios including the handling of partial or missing data, linking chain of custody claims across supply chain tiers, accommodating different sharing and security preferences and technical maturity levels, and verifying due diligence certifications across platforms. The pilot aims to deliver quantifiable insights on implementation cost and effort, validation of the RBTP as a flexible and scalable protocol, clarity on how traceability and sustainability claims can be trusted and reused, and the portability of supplier credentials across systems and platforms.

The UNTP focuses on interoperability standards that allow any technology platform to participate in interoperable and sustainable value chains. The protocol defines a relatively simple architecture comprising standards for product data, facility data, traceability data, conformity data, and identity data. Learn more about the UNTP here.

LOS ANGELES, November 5, 2025 /3BL/ – SCS Global Services, a leader in third-party certification, today announces its support and participation in the development of mindful MATERIALS’ Common Materials Framework (CMF) Implementation Toolkit—a practical, role-based resource designed to connect the building industry’s sustainability efforts by accelerating digitized, interoperable materials data.

Launched at the Greenbuild International Conference and Expo, the Toolkit helps every stakeholder—architects, designers, engineers, contractors, owners, manufacturers, ecolabels & standards, technology partners, and program partners—map what they’re already doing to the CMF, reduce duplication, and scale efficiency across the industry when it comes to sustainable materials vetting and reporting.

“As longtime contributors and content partners of mindful MATERIALS and most recently a member of the CMF Implementation working group, we are thrilled to see the alignment of industry data coming to fruition with the CMF toolkit,” says Karen Righthand, VP, Corporate Marketing of SCS Global Services. “With technology acceleration in recent years, SCS continues to prioritize high quality data and collaboration with the industry to connect data more efficiently for sustainable decision making.”

What’s In the CMF Implementation Toolkit

• Audience-Specific Guidance for AEC/O firms, manufacturers, ecolabels & standards, technology partners, and program partners—each with clear steps to align programs, data, and workflows to CMF impact areas.
• Common Give & Common Ask Templates that streamline requests and responses across the value chain, cutting duplicative outreach and conflicting formats.
• Digitization Playbooks that outline how to integrate with approved Tech Partners and move from PDFs and spreadsheets to connected, machine-readable data.
• Advocacy Tools that help stakeholders champion CMF-aligned, digitized endpoints with peers and partners.
• Case Studies that show how alignment fuels credible reporting, project efficiency, and better decisions (e.g., Gensler GPS 2.0; Mecho; Cradle to Cradle; Acelab).

Co-Developed by Forum Members and Partners

The CMF Implementation Toolkit was co-developed through the mindful MATERIALS Forums—a coalition of more than 70 organizations spanning design, construction, manufacturing, technology, ecolabel/standards, rating system, and program partners. Forum members have collaborated with mindful MATERIALS since 2022 to further define the Common Materials Framework, align cross-industry priorities, and identify practical steps to operationalize it.

Recognizing that no single organization can drive this change alone, Forum members are leveraging the power of the collective—because only through shared alignment and collaboration can the industry truly scale the impact of its sustainable materials work.

“For years, we’ve all been trying to solve the same challenge from different angles,” says Annie Bevan, President of mindful MATERIALS. “The CMF Implementation Toolkit finally brings those efforts together. It turns alignment into action—and action into measurable impact.”

Why It Matters Now

The building industry has invested heavily in designing and constructing high-performing, sustainable spaces—but without consistent, connected product data, it’s impossible to measure true impact. Aligning to the CMF allows every stakeholder to translate existing work into a shared digital structure that drives consistency, efficiency, and credible impact at scale. 

Benefits for everyone involved:

• Save time and money by reducing duplicative requests, manual entry, and one-off vetting.
• Strengthen credibility and comparability across projects, programs, and tools.
• Accelerate adoption and automation as data flows consistently through digital workflows.
• Demonstrate leadership as clients and jurisdictions increasingly demand transparent, impact-aligned materials.

Get Started

The CMF Implementation Toolkit is available now. Access audience-specific guidance, templates, and resources at https://www.mindfulmaterials.com/cmf-implementation-toolkit.

Join the movement: A free webinar will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. ET to walk participants through the Toolkit and its applications.

Originally published on PSEG ENERGIZE!

When Superstorm Sandy struck in 2012, more than 90% of our customers were left in the dark. Since then, we’ve been focused on bolstering an energy system that’s stronger, smarter and more resilient than ever before.

Over the last decade, we’ve invested $30 billion in the gas and electric infrastructure, with nearly 75% dedicated to boosting reliability and resiliency. The work included dozens of initiatives to upgrade, fortify and harden our transmission facilities and distribution systems throughout the state, along with modernizing technology systems. Those investments are already paying off in ways that matter to you.

Building a system that performs better – rain or shine 

From reinforcing substations and raising equipment in flood-prone areas to deploying cutting-edge technology, we’ve completed hundreds of projects across our service area. These improvements are helping our system to perform well not just on “blue-sky” days, but when customers need us most, during storms and extreme weather.

Take our initiative that focuses on the “Last Mile”, or the final stretch of power delivery to your homes and businesses, for example, which intensified during the pandemic as school- and work-from-home lifestyles became more of norm and expectation. Circuits upgraded under the Infrastructure Advancement Program (IAP), have reduced outages by 22% and affected 23% fewer customers on average.

It also means that when the power does go out – usually because of the weather – it comes back faster. Our customers are typically restored in less time than the national average.

In fact, our 2.4 million electric customers have experienced some of our best recorded reliability in 2023 and 2024, according to the System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) and the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) thanks to these investments.

Not only have we worked hard to make our electric transmission system stronger, but upgrades to our natural gas network have made it more efficient and significantly less prone to leaks for our 1.9 million gas customers.

Through these investments, PSE&G has built a resilient and dependable gas and electric infrastructure system that will deliver for customers, even as we face some of the toughest weather conditions.”

-Kim Hanemann, PSE&G president and chief operating officer.

Our investments have not only strengthened the energy system, but they have also created jobs and boosted the economy. For instance, across Energy Strong, IAP and Gas System Modernization Program, we’ve added more than 9,000 jobs to New Jersey.

Raising the bar for resiliency – Energy Strong I and II

Infrastructure investments made under the Energy Strong program hardened and modernized the electric and gas networks to meet 21^st century challenges of extreme weather. Key improvements include:

• 42 substations raised above Superstorm Sandy flood levels – dramatically reducing risk during major weather events.
• 1,500+ smart switching devices installed, enabled with wireless communication to speed up response times and reroute power automatically, cutting the average customer interruption rate by 21%.
• Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) upgrades that allow for faster detection, diagnosis and restoration during outages, thanks to real-time data across new high-speed communication systems.

Reliability at the street level: The Infrastructure Advancement Program (IAP)

Through the “Last Mile” upgrades, which increased the reliability of the state’s electric network down to the street and neighborhood level, we’re delivering better performance to our customers. Results so far include:

• Updated circuits in more than 130 municipalities across the state.
• Achieved 22% fewer outage incidents and 23% fewer customers impacted on average where upgrades have been completed.

Cleaner, safer natural gas systems 

Through our Gas System Modernization Program (GSMP), we’ve replaced more than 1,600 miles of aging cast-iron or unprotected steel gas infrastructure prone to leaks.

The results have been dramatic:

• 45% average decrease in gas leaks systemwide.
• Some towns saw even more dramatic results, with gas leaks falling by 90% in one municipality and 68% in another.
• Since 2011, our reported methane emissions are down 44%.

Powering New Jersey – now and into the future

Every day, we deliver energy to millions of customers across New Jersey, maintaining:

• 22,600 miles of electric distribution lines
• 18,200 miles of natural gas mains

We plan decades in advance to help ensure resilience and meet the needs of tomorrow. And we’re continuing to invest and modernize, using our ingenuity and focus on operational excellence to keep utility bills as low as possible. No matter what the future brings, you can count on us to meet your ever evolving energy needs and provide safe, reliable service.

BELLEVUE, Wash., November 5, 2025 /3BL/ – Because emergencies don’t care who your wireless provider is, T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) is making sure 911 access is available to as many people as possible. Starting today, anyone with a compatible phone can sign up to use T-Mobile Text to 911 through satellite in the 500,000 square miles of the U.S. not reached by traditional cell towers. Now, along with Text to 911 services available via terrestrial cell towers, wireless users in remote areas without traditional coverage can now reach emergency services nearly anywhere with a view of the sky.

“There’s a good chance you’ve had that moment in your life at some point. Badly rolled ankle deep into a backcountry hike. Stuck in a tree well while skiing. Flat tire on a backcountry road. Or a million other situations that require access to emergency services in a place without cell service. It’s an absolutely terrifying feeling that we don’t want anyone to have ever again,” said Mike Katz, President, Marketing, Strategy & Products, T-Mobile. “T-Mobile Text to 911 with T-Satellite gives peace of mind. It’s there when you need it the most. And it’s too important to keep gated. Now all wireless users with a compatible phone can sign up for T-Mobile Text to 911 for absolutely free.”

How It Works

This past July, T-Mobile rolled out T-Satellite with Starlink, a service that connects the compatible phone in your pocket to an array of 650+ Starlink satellites orbiting the Earth more than 200 miles up in space. The satellite network gives wireless users a lifeline when they’re way off grid and can’t connect to earth-bound cell towers because, perhaps, the tower is too far away or there’s an obstruction or, heaven forbid, a natural disaster has taken down the local wireless network. In that case, the phone’s signal goes up, up, up to a satellite instead of up and over to a cell tower. The phone automatically connects to the satellite network when a terrestrial signal drops. No special settings, no pointing your phone at the sky — it just works. T-Mobile’s vision is that if you can see the sky, you’re connected.

In just its first few months, T-Satellite users have connected for all manner of reasons: from adventuring to off-grid work to simple peace of mind. And, on rare occasion, to reach 911 for emergency services. It was a no-brainer to take the Text to 911 feature that T-Mobile built within T-Satellite and make it available — for free — to any person that enrolls with a satellite-compatible smartphone.

Placing a Text to 911 via T-Satellite is just like sending a normal text message. Simply pull up the phone’s native messaging app, enter the message, enter 911 in the phone number field and hit send.

T-Satellite Service Options

Because T-Satellite is the only game in town of its kind, T-Mobile has opened up the full service to all wireless users, not just T-Mobile customers. Here’s the full range of satellite connectivity options available to make sure everyone has the right level of peace of mind for their individual preference:

T-Mobile customers

• T-Satellite — including messaging, Text to 911, data and location services, among others — is included with Go5G Next and Experience Beyond plans, plus T-Priority (for individuals and businesses) and SuperMobile
• T-Satellite with all its services can also be added a la carte to any other T-Mobile plan for $10 /month
• T-Mobile Text to 911 is available for free as a standalone option to all T-Mobile customers, including business customers, with a compatible device

Non T-Mobile customers

• T-Satellite can be purchased a la carte for $10 / month for those with a compatible device
• All wireless users with a compatible device can now enroll for free access to T-Mobile Text to 911

Enrolling in free T-Mobile Text to 911 service involves just a few steps for both T-Mobile customers as well as those with another wireless provider:

• T-Mobile customers can add the service under “Manage Data & Add-Ons’” in their account online or in T-Life
• Non-T-Mobile customers can enroll here
• New business customers contact 866-380-7511

Satellite Emergency Service Options

While T-Satellite with Starlink is the only service of its kind, two other satellite-based messaging services offer access to emergency services on select iPhone and latest Google Pixel models. T-Satellite automatically defers to those device-native services.
