This year marks a significant milestone for 3M’s Scotch™ Brand as it celebrates its 100th anniversary. Since the invention of Scotch Masking Tape in 1925, Scotch Brand has grown and evolved into more than a thousand varieties of adhesive tape and products. These solutions are integral to families, friendships, and entire industries—from shipping, packaging, home, and office to automotive, construction, manufacturing, electronics, and more.

The origins of an iconic invention

In 1925, 3M was known as a sandpaper manufacturer and engineer Richard Drew was delivering samples to automotive repair shops. Drew noticed that workers were having difficulty achieving a clean finish on trending two-tone paint jobs—the paint kept peeling off with the tape when it was removed. Using crepe paper and cabinetmaker glue, he created a different kind of tape, ideal for solving the challenge he saw as well as many other applications—it was marketed as Scotch® masking tape.

Just five years later, Drew iterated on his design and developed transparent Scotch® cellophane tape. This invention was another game-changer, providing a simple yet effective way to seal packages, repair materials and much more.

From novel solution to global brand

Over the decades, Scotch Brand has evolved into a variety of products that have become staples in homes, offices and businesses worldwide. Whether they are supporting repairs or sealing, protecting, insulating, labeling, and holding materials together, Scotch products empower originality, efficiency, and problem-solving. A century after its inception, this resourcefulness continues to guide the brand and inspires future innovations.

Some of the most notable solutions in the Scotch Brand portfolio include:

Scotch® Magic™ Tape: Launched in 1961, this matte-finish tape became famous for its invisible appearance on paper and now has hundreds of uses.ScotchBlue™ PROSharp Painters Tape with Edge-Lock™+ Technology: Delivers the professional edge you need to stand out on your next painting or home improvement project.Scotch® Gift-Wrap Tape: This solution is perfect for a smooth, flawless wrapping and adhering small touches that leave a big impact.Scotch® Heavy Duty Packaging Tape, just one strip has the ultimate strength to get the job done whether you’re preparing for an upcoming move or shipping a package.

Local production, global delivery

Scotch Brand tapes and products are made in facilities around the United States, from Cynthiana, Ky., to Menomonie, Wis., and Hutchinson, Minn.—where every roll of Scotch Magic Tape begins, and 12 million miles of tape are manufactured each year. From these facilities, Scotch Brand products are distributed globally, reaching customers around the world and giving them the tools to tackle their day.

A rich history and bright future

As Scotch Brand celebrates its centennial, it continues to innovate and adapt to the changing needs of consumers. With a legacy built on trust and ingenuity, Scotch Brand is poised to remain a leader in the adhesive products industry for many years to come.

“You wouldn’t think tape has such a rich story around its origin … but it does,” says Heather Green, Portfolio President, Consumer Business Portfolio at 3M. This year, we get to celebrate that history and look forward to what’s next. Innovation is rooted in exploration and discovery, and it is what continues to inspire us to bring new solutions to market every day. Together we will create more, fix more, and do more for the next 100 years!”

In Latin America, a region characterized by its diverse geography, reliance on natural resources, and pronounced social and economic disparities, the repercussions of climate change are particularly severe.

The area is home to a significant portion of the world’s biodiversity, including the Amazon rainforest, the Andes mountains, and numerous other unique ecosystems that face significant risks from climate change-driven deforestation, temperature increase, and changes in rainfall patterns.

These environmental impacts pose a direct threat to the regional economy, which relies heavily on agriculture, fishing, and forestry; sectors that are directly impacted by climate change. This exacerbates existing inequities as the most vulnerable communities bear the brunt of climate-related adversities.

At DP World, we’re acutely aware of the environmental footprint our global operations leave behind and are committed to fostering positive economic and social outcomes wherever we operate. In Latin America, this commitment translates into actively pursuing climate adaptation and mitigation strategies to steer trade towards a more sustainable future.

From the mangrove-lined shores of Ecuador to the bustling terminals of Brazil and Chile, DP World is redefining what it means to be a responsible supply chain company in the age of climate change.

Here are four ways DP World is demonstrating its commitment to promoting sustainability and maintaining operational efficiency across the region:

Equipment Electrification: Our efforts to modernize port operations include significant investments in environmentally friendly and electrified equipment. In Brazil, the electrification of 22 RTGs (container cranes) is expected to cut emissions by as much as 60%. The Dominican Republic sees the introduction of green reach stackers, electric trucks, and electric gantry cranes, the latter of which emit 75% less CO2 than their fossil fuel-powered counterparts. Meanwhile, in Chile, the replacement of three MHC cranes with two new STS Super Post Panamax cranes is set to prevent 800 tons of CO2 emissions annually.Advancing Waste Management and Recycling Efforts: DP World Brazil marked a significant milestone in 2022 by becoming the first port terminal to achieve zero waste to landfill, diverting 870 tons of waste. This initiative was recognized with the Atmosphere category award at the GRI Infra Awards in 2022. We also participate in environmental cleanup activities in the surrounding mangroves and beaches. In Chile, we partner with the surrounding communities to enhance waste reduction, boost recycling efforts, and rehabilitate coastal ecosystems, reaffirming our commitment to a sustainable future.Technology Implementation for Sustainable Operations: Technology plays a central role in our operational strategy. At DP World Dominicana, the port has adopted crane and RTG simulators for training sessions, reducing truck emissions. In Ecuador, Freight Matching Systems digitally track inbound and outbound cargo transactions to reduce freight trips. These examples underscore our commitment to leveraging technology for environmental sustainability.Renewable Energy Investments: Embracing renewable energy is a cornerstone of our strategy across Latin America. In Chile, our transition to 100% renewable energy sources for our terminals has resulted in a significant reduction of CO2 emissions—8,604 tons over two years. Brazil follows closely, with 99.47% of its energy derived from renewable sources, highlighting our efforts to minimize the carbon footprint and foster a resilient, eco-friendly supply chain.

DP World views its commitment to sustainability as more than just fulfilling obligations or achieving accolades. We recognize the challenge of climate change as a unique opportunity to redefine global business practices, fostering innovation and leadership for a sustainable future.

As the world grapples with the importance of every ton of CO2, DP World is working to redefine the crucial role that supply chain companies play in combating climate change. By reducing emissions, conserving natural resources, and investing in renewable energy, DP World is setting new benchmarks for sustainability – one cargo container at a time.

EMERYVILLE, Calif., March 4, 2025 /3BL/ – SCS Global Services (SCS), a pioneer and international leader in third-party sustainability and environmental certifications, announces the first events certified under the SCS Zero Waste Standard — two Dell Technologies Forum Events in India.

Organized by Kestone Global and in consultation with Saahas Zero Waste, these regional events were held in Mumbai and Bangalore and achieved 98.64% and 92.88% diversion, respectively.

The third-party certification from SCS was awarded after completing a comprehensive waste assessment, including an on-site audit during the events to verify successful diversion of waste from landfill through recycling, composting, waste-to-energy, and resale.

“The events were an integrated approach with the teams involved, to juxtapose sustainability with technology,” said Sandip Pattanaik, National Head, Experiential Marketing at Kestone Global, organizer of the events. “We wanted to develop a format for the events that was truly forward-thinking and could set a model of sustainability and zero waste for future events to come.”

Indu Kannan, Senior Vice President of Kestone Global added, “At Kestone, our mission has always been to elevate experiences and reshape the future of events by seamlessly blending innovation and technology. This milestone event stands as a testament to our ability to push boundaries, delivering India’s first-of-its-kind sustainable events and setting a bold new benchmark for responsibility, impact, and the future of our industry.”

Waste diversion efforts included recycle and compost receptacles, on-site sorting teams, and efforts to utilize reuseable event equipment.

“When you implement zero waste initiatives, the benefits can be significant — reducing waste generation and recovering valuable resources,” said Arun Murugesh, VP Sales & Marketing of Saahas Zero Waste. “We knew that third-party verification of our efforts was essential for the validity of the claims and their impacts.”

“These events met the requirements of the SCS Zero Waste Standard. We congratulate Dell Technologies, Kestone Global, and Saahas Zero Waste on the successful achievement of certification for their events,” added Inna Kitaychik, Director, Textile Exchange and Zero Waste at SCS Global Services. “These events prove that it is possible for industry leaders to host a world class event that not only takes into consideration the waste footprint, but also proactively addresses the problem by identifying partners and putting processes into place to ensure waste diversion from landfills.”

The SCS Zero Waste Certification program aims to recognize events, projects, and facilities that demonstrate waste diversion and reduction achievements.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 4, 2025 /3BL/ – The Arbor Day Foundation and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have recognized 210 communities as 2024 Tree Cities of the World. It is the most cities ever honored since the program began in 2018.

“Tree Cities of the World is more than a recognition programme. It’s a rapidly growing global movement, transforming how communities view and value their urban forest. It goes beyond borders, connecting passionate organizers and tireless tree planters, and uniting them under the shared mission of making our world’s communities healthier places to live,” said Sophie Plitt, program manager at the Arbor Day Foundation. “This record-breaking 2024 class is a testament to the power of trees in every corner of the world and we’re excited to honor these cities and their important work.”

The international Tree Cities of the World programme recognizes cities and towns that leverage urban forestry to enhance the livability and sustainability of their local area. The program is jointly operated by FAO, a specialized agency of the United Nations, and the Arbor Day Foundation. Tree Cities of the World is in alignment with FAO’s Green Cities initiative which is designed to strengthen green infrastructure in both urban and rural communities.

This year’s 210 Tree Cities of the World represent 24 countries and 6 continents. The Tree Cities of the World programme includes communities ranging in population size from 1,500 to 12 million people, with 37 major languages spoken across the entire cohort. By gaining recognition through the programme, many municipalities have garnered increased funding for community forest management, access to a unique global network of urban forestry professionals, and greater local support for canopy growth.

“In 2024, the City of Toronto planted over 130,000 trees, managed over 1,000 hectares of natural area parkland, and made significant strides to achieve equitable distribution of the urban forest across our diverse city,” said Teresa Bosco, Manager of Forest Policy and Planning for Toronto, Canada. “We are thrilled to be part of a growing global network of cities recognized for their dedication to building strong and resilient urban forests and being leaders in stewardship, resource allocation, and innovation.”

“Through the program, we found an opportunity to unify diverse collectives—those promoting heritage trees, native plant palettes, and urban reforestation—to work together with the government,” said Emmanuel Bolaños Bautista, Deputy Director of the Department of Protected Areas and Environmental Value for Puebla, Mexico.

“The learning and exchange of experiences allow us to learn from the big players as well,” said Juan Pablo Diaz Laska, Secretary of Environment for Tocancipá, Colombia. “We are a small place, but we strive to create green spaces and replicate successful projects.”

Globally, more than 134 million people live in Tree Cities of the World.

To earn Tree Cities of the World recognition, a city must uphold five core standards: establish responsibility for the care of trees; enact a law or policy that governs the management of trees and forests; maintain an updated assessment of local tree resources; allocate resources for a tree management plan; and hold an annual celebration of trees to educate local residents.

Long-term engagement has been key for the Venice Family Clinic’s Street Medicine Team.

For the last eight years, the clinic has worked with the unhoused population in Malibu to ensure they have access to medical care. Clinic staff say they anticipate an uptick in the area’s unhoused population following the L.A. wildfires. While Venice Family Clinic was not affected by the fires, the area is in close proximity to Malibu and Pacific Palisades, which lost vast amounts of residential housing and infrastructure during recent fires.

The clinic uses mobile units to provide critical care to vulnerable populations who would otherwise lack access to consistent medical services. Clinic staff said people may be displaced or unhoused for months to several years following the natural disaster.

“We want to be a part of a directional plan where we’re supporting and enabling someone to be housing-ready,” said Dr. Coley King, Director of Homeless Health Services for Venice Family Clinic. Direct Relief staff delivered medical aid to King last week, who was conducting medical outreach in Malibu.

The clinic’s street team meets patients where they are—beyond the four walls of the brick-and-mortar clinic. The medical professionals say they want to remove the barriers that prevent people from getting care. According to the clinic’s website, staff take on a harm reduction approach through assertive engagement, trauma-informed care, and linkage to housing. This work has produced an uptrend in patient health, happiness, and housing stability, Coley said.

Direct Relief is supporting Venice Family Clinic by providing emergency funding, medications, and critical medical supplies to ensure uninterrupted patient care. In an effort to support those most affected by the wildfires, Direct Relief has awarded $2.6 million in emergency operating grants to 43 organizations, including community health centers, free and charitable clinics, reproductive health organizations, first responders, search and rescue teams, and community-based non-profits.

BELLEVUE, Wash., March 3, 2025 /3BL/ – T-Mobile (NASDAQ: TMUS) announced two exciting ways it is reinforcing its commitment to first responder and military customers by introducing two new Essentials plans built just for them. With Essentials First Responder and Essentials Military, the Un-carrier is giving those who serve essential connectivity and the best price for their families compared to blue and red — all on America’s largest and fastest 5G network. The new Essentials plans are available starting Feb. 21.

“Whether serving overseas, responding to emergencies or supporting our communities at home, America’s first responder and military families sacrifice so much,” said Jon Freier, President, T-Mobile Consumer Group. “T-Mobile’s new Essentials plans for Military and First Responders give these heroes what they deserve: hundreds of dollars in savings while getting industry-leading value on the country’s leading 5G network. It’s a small way to give back to those who give us so much.”

Essentials First Responder and Military Plans

T-Mobile’s new Essentials plans offer the best price for first responder and military families compared to AT&T and Verizon. For a family of three, each plan is just $90/month with AutoPay plus taxes and fees — that’s a savings of nearly 20% each month — and over $250 annually! — when switching the whole family to T-Mobile’s Essentials First Responder plan from AT&T’s FirstNet Unlimited. Plus, verified first responder customers have the option to add the nation’s first network slice for first responders for only $7.50/month, giving them priority network access to keep them connected during times of extreme congestion.

The new First Responder and Military Essentials plans include unlimited talk, text and data, unlimited texting in 215+ countries and destinations worldwide and exclusive benefits just for being customers with Magenta Status. That includes perks from top hotel and car rental brands, concert and movie tickets and access to the nation’s leading 5G network. Plus, those Essentials plan savings get even sweeter with deals to score a free 5G phone on Us with 24 monthly bill credits when joining the Un-carrier.

First Responder and Military Customers Get More at T-Mobile

Essentials First Responder and Essentials Military join T-Mobile’s existing Go5G First Responder and Military plans dedicated to these customers, offering more choice and flexibility to suit their needs. Whether it’s just the Essentials (pun intended) or a more perk-packed Go5G First Responder or Military plan with Netflix on Us and free in-flight Wi-Fi, the Un-carrier offers something for everyone. These new plans further demonstrate T-Mobile’s commitment to supporting first responder and military customers — and their families — as well as year-round initiatives like hiring 10,000 veterans and military spouses and the Connecting Heroes program, which offers up to $7.7 billion in potential savings through 2030 for first responder agencies.

Plus, with T-Mobile Starlink — the first and only space-based mobile network in the U.S. — now in public beta, wireless users across the country (even you, Verizon and AT&T customers) can get access to the largest satellite-to-cell constellation in the U.S. The free beta provides people with critical access to text messaging in the more than 500,000 square miles of the country currently unreached by any carrier’s earth-bound cell towers. More details can be found here.

To see how the new plans compare to the full lineup of first responder and military offerings at the Un-carrier, check out the chart above.
