LOUISVILLE, Ky., Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The TurfMutt Foundation – which advocates for the care and use of backyards, public parks, school yards and other green spaces – says winter is no time to hibernate when it comes to your yard. The Foundation encourages homeowners to use chilly days to plan, prioritize and prepare so they can hit the ground running when the weather breaks.

“Even though you can’t get out and dig and plant in the wintertime, it’s the perfect season for dreaming and scheming your spring yard refresh,” says Kris Kiser, President & CEO of the TurfMutt Foundation. “Whether you’re planning a simple landscape update or a complete outdoor living overhaul, starting now puts you ahead of the spring rush.”

TurfMutt offers four suggestions for using winter days to get ready for warmer backyard activities:  

1. Create a Comprehensive Vision: Viewing your yard as a critical outdoor space, visualize how your family will use it. Do you need zones for pets and play? A quiet, shady area for relaxation? Or a dedicated spot for outdoor dining or working? A clear vision ensures your improvements are intentional and beneficial to your family’s lifestyle.
2. Budget & Lock in Experts: Major landscaping improvements – like patios, pergolas, or firepits – require advance preparation so complete your designs and budget now. If you plan to hire a professional, such as a landscape architect, certified arborist, or contractor, secure competitive bids immediately. Top professionals book their seasons early and securing your team this winter avoids frustrating delays.
3. Research Plants for Your Microclimate: Familiarize yourself with the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map to decide which trees, shrubs and perennials are suitable for your area. Research plants that will provide year-round visual impact and pollinator support. Then create a specific wish list to prevent impulse purchases in the spring that might not be right for your climate or long-term landscape strategy.
4. Service & Purchase Equipment and Tools: Get existing outdoor power equipment (mower, trimmer, leaf blower, etc.) serviced and tuned up now. If you need new equipment—perhaps a bigger mower for a new property or string trimmers, pole pruners and other equipment to make jobs easier—research and make purchases this winter. This foresight ensures you’re ready to roll when the weather turns warm.

Top ranking comes alongside recent acknowledgements from S&P Global, CDP and EcoVadis, reflecting Beko’s commitment to sustainability, innovation and advanced manufacturing

ISTANBUL, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beko, a global leader in home appliances, has been recognised in the 2026 Corporate Knights Global 100, ranking 45th among the world’s most sustainable publicly listed companies and first globally in the household durables industry. Following a category leading ranking in the 2025 Corporate Knights Global 100, where Beko placed 68th overall, the company advanced 23 positions in 2026 while maintaining its #1 position in the household durables industry. This achievement reflects Beko’s continued progress in developing sustainability as a core driver of its strategy, operations and sustained growth.

The Corporate Knights recognition builds on a series of recent global sustainability assessments that consistently position Beko among industry leaders. In 2025, Beko was named one of TIME Magazine’s World’s Most Sustainable Companies for the second-year running, earning a place in the Top 20 and securing the #1 position in its industry. Furthermore, the company achieved the highest score in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) within the DHP Household Durables Industry for the seventh consecutive year, was awarded a Gold Medal in the EcoVadis Sustainability Assessment, placing it in the top 3% of all companies assessed. In 2026, Beko once again achieved “Double A” status from the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for both Climate Change and Water Security, placing the company among the global leaders in corporate transparency.

Turning Commitment into Action

These achievements recognise the importance Beko places on sustainability and real climate action. In 2024, the company invested 165 million Euros in environmental-related investments and expenditures. Today, low-carbon products generate for more than 70% of total revenue, while energy-efficient appliances continue to make up a significant portion of this share. Material efficiency initiatives embedded in product design delivered savings of more than 17,000 tonnes. Circularity is further strengthened through the use of over 27,800 tonnes of recycled plastics across manufacturing in 2024. In parallel, Beko scaled up its refurbishment activities, extending the life of more than 114,000 appliances in 2024 through its global refurbishment network.

“Our recognition in the Corporate Knights Global 100, alongside our leadership rankings from S&P Global, CDP, and EcoVadis, confirms that sustainability sits at the core of how we design, invest, and grow our business across the markets we operate. Together, these outcomes validate our commitment and prove that scale and innovation, when guided by responsibility, can deliver measurable impact for society, the economy, and our planet.” said Hakan Bulgurlu, CEO of Beko.

The Corporate Knights Global 100 is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous global sustainability rankings. The index assesses how effectively public-listed companies are developing sustainable economic models, focusing on sustainable revenue, investment, and growth, with ESG performance serving as a minimum threshold. Beko’s performance highlights its ability to scale sustainability across products, manufacturing and capital allocation, while delivering resilient business outcomes.

HYDERABAD, India, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The global lead market size is projected to grow steadily, with volumes expected to rise from about 17.08 million tons in 2026 to nearly 18.89 million tons by 2031, reflecting a 2.04% CAGR.

Demand remains resilient due to strong usage in batteries, which account for over 81% of total consumption, supported by data-center UPS systems and gradual EV uptake in emerging Asian economies.

Recycled lead already accounts for a major share of global supply, and tightening sustainability regulations – especially in Europe – are accelerating the shift toward scrap-based production over primary mining. At the same time, Asia-Pacific continues to lead the market, supported by the rapid growth of electric rickshaws in India and strong recycling initiatives in China. With market control spread across several players rather than concentrated among a few, there is clear opportunity for efficient, vertically integrated recyclers to strengthen their position and expand their footprint.

Lead Market Trends and Insights

Stricter Recycling Mandates Reshaping Battery Supply Chains

Environmental regulations in major economies are accelerating the shift toward higher recycled content in batteries. These policies are encouraging closer collaboration between manufacturers and recyclers, while favoring companies with integrated collection and processing capabilities. As a result, compliance is increasingly becoming a competitive advantage rather than just a regulatory obligation.

Upgrading Smelters to Improve Resource Efficiency

Producers are modernizing existing smelting facilities to process mixed and lower-grade ores more efficiently. By retrofitting multi-metal operations instead of building new plants, companies can reduce costs, extend asset life, and stabilize supply. This approach is helping primary production remain viable while adapting to changing resource quality and market conditions.

Lead Market Share by Region

The Asia-Pacific region continues to lead the global lead market, supported by strong recycling ecosystems, cost-sensitive electric mobility, and efficient metal processing capabilities. China’s focus on urban recycling has strengthened secondary supply, while India and several Southeast Asian countries rely heavily on lead-based batteries for affordable, low-speed electric transport and last-mile logistics

North America benefits from a well-established battery recovery network that feeds recycled material directly back into domestic smelters. While infrastructure upgrades have reduced traditional uses such as plumbing, they have simultaneously boosted recycling volumes and secondary production. Europe shows a cautious transition toward alternative battery chemistries, but performance limitations continue to favor lead systems, especially in colder climates.

FREDERICK, Md., Jan. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Visit Frederick has formally adopted its Strategic Plan for 2026–2031, a five-year roadmap designed to guide tourism growth while protecting quality of life for residents across Frederick County. The plan outlines a clear vision for strengthening the visitor economy through collaboration, stewardship, and data-driven decision-making, ensuring tourism continues to deliver meaningful benefits to the community.

Tourism remains a vital driver of Frederick County’s economy, supporting thousands of jobs, hundreds of local businesses, and more than $500 million in annual visitor spending. The new strategic plan builds on that foundation, setting priorities that balance economic opportunity with community values as the county continues to grow and evolve.

“Tourism is one of Frederick County’s quiet success stories,” said Dave Ziedelis, Executive Director of Visit Frederick. “It supports local jobs, strengthens small businesses, and helps fund the amenities and experiences that make this a great place to live. This plan gives us a clear path forward to protect and grow those benefits for the entire community.”

Developed over an eight-month process in partnership with Coraggio Group, the plan reflects extensive engagement with residents, local leaders, tourism partners, and visitors. Surveys, interviews, and public listening sessions helped shape a shared vision for how tourism should grow responsibly and sustainably over the next five years.

The Strategic Plan centers on four core imperatives: driving visitation and visitor spending across all of Frederick County; cultivating positive community sentiment toward tourism; building organizational capacity to manage growth; and formalizing Visit Frederick’s destination stewardship framework. Together, these priorities aim to extend visitor stays, support emerging markets such as meetings and conferences, and ensure tourism investment aligns with resident priorities.

“This plan recognizes that the tourism landscape is changing, and so is Frederick County,” Ziedelis said. “We are welcoming new residents, new businesses, and new opportunities. This strategy helps us navigate that growth thoughtfully, so tourism strengthens our communities instead of overwhelming them.”

A key focus of the plan is destination stewardship – ensuring that tourism development enhances historic preservation, natural resources, infrastructure, and overall quality of life. Visit Frederick will continue to work closely with municipalities, Main Street organizations, nonprofits, and local businesses to align tourism promotion with community needs and long-term sustainability.

Visit Frederick’s 2026–2031 Strategic Plan is available in both a full booklet and a one-page summary at visitfrederick.org. The organization will begin implementing the plan immediately, using it as a guiding framework for marketing, partnerships, community engagement, and investment decisions in the years ahead.

Visit Frederick will host a public meeting to share details of the 2026–2031 Strategic Plan and gather community feedback on Wednesday, February 4 at 10am at the Frederick Visitor Center. Residents, partners, and stakeholders are encouraged to attend and learn more about how the plan will guide tourism growth in Frederick County.

Visit Frederick strengthens economic vitality and community pride by developing and promoting tourism that enhances quality of life for residents and visitors alike. As the official and designated Destination Marketing Organization for Frederick City and Frederick County, Visit Frederick leads the care and growth of the local visitor economy through stewardship, collaboration, and strategic investment.
