NORTHVILLE, Mich., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Cooper Standard (NYSE: CPS) today announced its collaboration with Renault Group on the Renault Emblème project, an eco-conscious family demo car that aims to reduce CO₂ emissions over its lifecycle. The groundbreaking project integrates two of Cooper Standard’s low-carbon, high-performance vehicle innovations: the FlexiCore™ thermoplastic body seal; and FlushSeal™ sealing system.

“We were honored to be selected to collaborate with Renault Group on the Emblème project, showcasing our innovative sealing systems that support vehicle design evolution and climate goals,” said Patrick Clark, president, sealing systems and chief manufacturing officer, Cooper Standard. “As the automotive industry accelerates toward net-zero targets, Cooper Standard continues to lead the way by developing forward-thinking solutions that balance environmental responsibility, high performance and cost effectiveness.”

Accelerating Sustainable Progress
As part of this collaboration, Cooper Standard successfully transitioned from a traditional rubber-plus-metal sealing design to a 100% thermoplastic solution using its FlexiCore thermoplastic body seal. This shift enables a lighter, more sustainable vehicle architecture that significantly reduces CO₂ emissions associated with production. Additionally, the seal is fully recyclable, making it a major advancement in both material efficiency and environmental impact.

The Emblème demo car also incorporates Cooper Standard’s FlushSeal sealing system, which was originally introduced in 2019 in collaboration with Renault. This easy to install system features Cooper Standard’s next generation aerodynamic design with enhanced window guidance and offers material flexibility with lightweight options.

Redefining Vehicle Aesthetics
The Emblème project is the first time Cooper Standard has validated the use of a fully colored visible surface on an automotive door seal using its FlexiCore thermoplastic body seal. This innovation opens new doors for aesthetic customization in vehicle interiors, enhancing brand differentiation and design flexibility for automakers. In addition, Cooper Standard’s FlushSeal sealing system enables the styling trend known as flush glass or flush glazing. This innovation merges style with cutting-edge technology to improve both vehicle appearance and performance.

About the Alta Mesa ISR Uranium CPP and Wellfield (“Alta Mesa Uranium Project”)

The Alta Mesa Uranium Project hosts a fully licensed and constructed ISR Central Processing Plant and operational wellfield located on 200,000+ acres of private land and mineral rights in and regulated by the state of Texas. Total operating capacity at the Alta Mesa CPP is 1.5 million pounds. uranium per year with additional drying capacity of 0.5 million pounds. The Alta Mesa Uranium Project operates under a 70/30 joint venture with Boss Energy Limited (ASX: BOE; OTCQX: BQSSF) that is managed by the Company.

The Alta Mesa CPP historically produced nearly 5 million pounds. of uranium between 2005 and 2013 when production was curtailed as a result of low prices. The Alta Mesa Uranium Project utilizes well known ISR technology to extract uranium in a non-invasive process using natural groundwater and oxygen. Currently, oxygenated water is being circulated in the wellfield through injection or extraction wells plumbed directly into the primary pipelines feeding the Alta Mesa CPP. Expansion of the wellfield will continue, with extraction to steadily increase from the wellfield as expansion continues through 2025 and beyond.

• Commitment to be a net zero company by 2050 with ambitious 2030 targets including using 100% green electricity in all manufacturing facilities
• 114,468 products refurbished in 2024
• 61.9% of turnover from energy-efficient products; 71.5% from low-carbon products

ISTANBUL, July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Beko, a leader in home appliances, launched its 2024 Integrated Report, themed around scientist Carl Sagan’s profound depiction of Earth as the “pale blue dot.” The metaphor underscores our planet’s fragility and our collective duty to “preserve and cherish the only home we’ve ever known.”

In a world in flux—at a time when sustainability is losing priority in boardrooms—Beko remains steadfast. Its purpose is clear: to inspire sustainable living in every home. This purpose is backed by concrete actions, including a pathway to 100% green electricity by 2030 and a global refurbishment network that extended the life of over 114,000 appliances in 2024.

As a recognized sustainability leader, earning the highest score in its industry in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment for the sixth consecutive year[i], Beko remains resolved in its commitment to both people and planet. The company was recently ranked 17^th among the world’s most sustainable companies by TIME Magazine and Statista, topping in its industry and appearing on the list for the second time. These achievements highlight Beko’s robust climate strategy, alongside its continued progress in ESG transparency, product efficiency, supply chain responsibility, and social inclusion.

The first of its kind from Beko, the integrated report aligns with the International Integrated Reporting Framework (IIRC), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), Türkiye Sustainability Reporting Standards (TSRS), and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). It includes a double materiality assessment, evaluating both how sustainability issues affect Beko’s business and how Beko’s operations impact society and the environment, combining stakeholders’ perspectives with internal analyses to drive tangible actions. This approach reflects the company’s long-term strategy—affirming that sustainability is not solely a business priority but a shared global imperative.

Hakan Bulgurlu, CEO of Beko, said: “Securing a net-zero future requires absolute focus and concrete action. We are committed to 100% green electricity in manufacturing by 2030 and have dramatically scaled our refurbishment programme. But that’s only part of the story. We’re continuously working to improve water and waste management, drive down emissions across our supply chain, and design products that do more with less. I’m very grateful for our teams and partners who champion these responsible practices, helping us build a greener, more circular economy. This report showcases how Beko embeds sustainability into every decision, from product design to operations and corporate governance, as we work to protect our ‘pale blue dot’.”

Celebrating 70 years of innovation, Beko continues to lead with purpose and consistency, keeping sustainability at its core:

• Beko is on a path to Net Zero by 2050, with bold interim targets including using 100% green electricity in all manufacturing facilities by 2030. The company’s climate strategy addresses Scope 3 emissions—which account for 99% of its total footprint, with approximately 80% arising during product use phase.
• Beko has rapidly scaled up its renewable energy investments, reaching a total installed capacity of 90.2 MWp—an almost 30-fold increase in just four years.
• Beko’s circular economy strategy is driving transformation across design, production, and end-of-life product use. Refurbishment is a core enabler of its product lifecycle model. In 2024, the company’s global refurbishment network extended the life of 114,468 appliances. These efforts help customers reduce carbon footprints while extending product utility and reducing e-waste.
• Beko has embedded sustainability into its leadership DNA by linking executive compensation indirectly to environmental performance. Targets for reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, along with supply chain sustainability integration, are included in the scorecards of key C-suite leaders.

As a member of and signatory to multiple global initiatives, Beko demonstrates its commitment to collaborative climate action. The integrated report is a call to action for stakeholders to unite in preserving Earth’s sustainability. For a comprehensive view of Beko’s initiatives, visit https://www.bekocorporate.com/.

A free AI-based tool from Dutch startup Sybotanica aims to reduce houseplant waste and help owners give better, tailored care.

ARNHEM, Netherlands, July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dutch plant care company Sybotanica has introduced SYBAScan, an AI-powered tool designed to make caring for houseplants easier and more accessible for European plant owners.

SYBAScan uses machine learning to identify plant species by name and provides personalized advice on soil, pots, nutrients, and structural support like moss poles. The goal is to help reduce plant loss and frustration among both new and experienced plant enthusiasts.

By helping plant owners make more informed choices, Sybotanica hopes to reduce unnecessary plant waste and cut down on the environmental impact of discarded houseplants. The company says that healthier plants mean fewer replacements and less overall resource use.

“Many people want to care for their plants properly but often lack clear, reliable information,” says Sybren Bies, founder of Sybotanica. “With SYBAScan, we hope to take the guesswork out of plant care and make it easier for people to enjoy healthy, thriving plants at home.”

The tool currently supports over 25,000 houseplant species and is updated regularly as new data becomes available. It is free to use and accessible online in several European languages, including Dutch, German, and French.

Sybotanica, which began as a small student project, has grown into a company known for its sustainable, plant-specific soils and care products. Today, it serves more than 80,000 customers across Europe.

SYBAScan is available now at sybotanica.com in Europe, sybotanica.fr in France & sybotanica.de in Germany & Austria.

MADISON, Wis., July 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Homeowners and businesses have a critical, rapidly approaching deadline to take advantage of the 30% federal solar tax credit: December 31, 2025. After this date, the Residential Clean Energy Credit will be eliminated entirely, and the Clean Energy Investment Tax Credit for commercial projects will be subject to new restrictions and early phase-out. All Energy Solar Inc. is urging people to act now to ensure their projects are completed in time to qualify for these significant savings.

The recent “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” abruptly cut short the federal solar tax credit, which was previously set to continue through 2034. This change creates a compressed timeline for those interested in investing in solar energy. For homeowners, this means a potential savings of an average of $9,000 will vanish in 2026. Businesses also face a limited window to capitalize on the full credit for renewable energy projects.

“The phase-out of this federal tax credit is a big shift—not just for the solar industry, but for any homeowner or business thinking about going solar,” said Ryan Buege, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at All Energy Solar. “The window is closing, but there’s still time to lock in the full value if you act now. It may be years before solar becomes this affordable again.”

Typical installation timelines can span several months due to site design, permitting, and utility coordination. All Energy Solar encourages anyone considering solar to start their project now to maximize savings and avoid missing out on current incentives.

“From your first consultation to system activation, going solar takes time—especially with permitting and utility approvals,” Buege added. “Our team is experienced at navigating these local processes, but as demand surges, there will come a point where we simply can’t guarantee new projects will qualify under the current incentive, especially for residential solar.”

For businesses switching to solar, the changes to the tax credit present a more nuanced, though still urgent, timeline. While the general elimination date for the Clean Energy Investment Tax Credit is December 31, 2027, projects that begin construction by July 4, 2026, can still qualify for the full 30% credit, provided they are placed in service within four years. Projects beginning construction after July 4, 2026, must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, to receive any credit. Furthermore, projects beginning construction after December 31, 2025, will face new “Foreign Entity of Concern” (FEOC) restrictions, requiring a certain percentage of components to be sourced from non-FEOC manufacturers to qualify for the credit.

Alongside the Council Session, the JPAC Public Forum provided a space for open dialogue between the public and government representatives.

The event recognized that over the past three decades, the CEC has become a vital  trilateral platform for environmental cooperation; one that continues to adapt to emerging needs and challenges while remaining grounded in transparency, public engagement, and mutual respect.

About the CEC

The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) was established in 1994 by the governments of Canada, Mexico and the United States through the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, a parallel environmental agreement to NAFTA. As of 2020, the CEC is recognized and maintained by the Environmental Cooperation Agreement, in parallel with the new Free Trade Agreement of North America.
