In coordination with National Menstrual Hygiene Day, PeriodPalooza mobilizes volunteers to deliver free period products to 460 Colorado schools

DENVER, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As a part of a statewide effort to implement House Bill 24-1164, which requires free period products in all female and gender-neutral restrooms in Colorado middle and high schools, and in recognition of Menstrual Hygiene Day on May 28, Justice Necessary is delivering 1,371 dispensers and over 2.5 million pads and tampons to 460 schools across all five regions of the state through its landmark initiative, PeriodPalooza. Volunteers at events in Fort Collins, Pueblo, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs and Denver are assembling one-month period care kits for local students. Each event also serves as a distribution point for schools receiving menstrual supplies through Justice Necessary’s Menstrual Product Grant.

PeriodPalooza is a mobilization to ensure students across Colorado have reliable access to period products — whether in the classroom or during extracurricular activities. This campaign helps schools meet the first milestone of HB24-1164 while spotlighting menstrual health as a vital part of student success. It all leads up to Menstrual Hygiene Day, a global observance aimed at breaking the stigma around menstruation and demanding access to period care for all.

“When 80% of Colorado students who experience periods miss class due to a lack of access to period products, we partnered with legislators and stakeholders to pass HB 24-1164. But passing a law isn’t enough. Real change comes from putting policy into practice,” said Diane Cushman Neal, Founder and President of Justice Necessary. “We launched PeriodPalooza across Colorado to bring communities and schools together to pack and distribute over 2.5 million period products to ensure students have what they need to stay in school. Our goal is to raise awareness about the barriers students face and remind us all that access to period products just is necessary.”

The data that Cushman Neal cites, taken from studies conducted by Justice Necessary over the past three years, shows that an increasing number of Colorado students have experienced gaps in their education due to a lack of access to period products. The studies also demonstrate that 90% of Colorado teens have started their period unexpectedly in public without the supplies they need and 66% have been unable to take part in extracurricular activities.

PeriodPalooza events have occurred in Fort Collins, Pueblo, Grand Junction and Colorado Springs. The final stop in Denver is on Friday, May 23, and Saturday, May 24, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day at the Sheraton Denver Tech Center.

Justice Necessary is seeking volunteers ages 12 and up for two-hour shifts throughout the day. No experience is required. To register as a volunteer or make a donation, visit www.justicenecessary.org.

AKRON, Ohio, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Alterra, a global leader in advanced plastic recycling technologies, is proud to announce the successful deployment of its pyrolysis oil in Australia, marking a significant step toward a circular economy for plastics.

In a major trial conducted this week, 9.5 tons of plastic pyrolysis oil (PPO)—produced by Alterra from end-of-life plastics at its facility in Akron, Ohio—was processed at Viva Energy’s Geelong Refinery. The trial demonstrated the technical compatibility of Alterra’s advanced recycled product with existing refining infrastructure, highlighting the transformative potential of Alterra’s technology in large-scale plastic recycling solutions across Australia.

The successful results demonstrate how Alterra’s technology can produce high-quality PPO at scale and supports Viva Energy to build their case for a permanent soft plastics recycling facility in Australia.

“The successful trial confirms that our technology can be integrated seamlessly with conventional refining systems and deliver high-purity outputs from challenging plastic waste streams,” said Valerio Coppini, Chief Commercial Officer of Alterra. “We are excited to partner with Viva Energy to support them in their journey to validate the processing of soft plastics pyrolysis oil at the Geelong Refinery. We see this as an important step in bringing scalable, sustainable plastic recycling to Australia. This is about more than waste diversion—it’s about redefining the lifecycle of plastic.”

Alterra’s proprietary process breaks down post-consumer plastics into their original chemical building blocks, creating a sustainable feedstock for new plastics and chemicals production. The PPO used in the Geelong refinery trial represents the type of material that will be produced at scale in the proposed recycling facility.

Bill Patterson, Executive General Manager – Refining at Viva Energy said it was exciting to see a new future emerge for the refinery. “Over many decades the Geelong Refinery has played an important role in making fuels and other products which are essential to our way of life in Australia,” Mr. Patterson said. “We want to continue to do this, and this initiative is a critical step in demonstrating the various roles our facility can play in the energy transition, establishing a circular economy and helping address Australia’s discarded plastic issue.”

EAST HAMPTON, N.Y., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A new community-built oyster reef is coming to Three Mile Harbor this June, thanks to a collaboration between the East Hampton Town Shellfish Hatchery, South Fork Sea Farmers, local students, and restaurants. Installed just off Swans Marina, the reef is the fourth in a growing network of non-harvestable reefs designed to restore water quality and marine life across the East End.

This effort builds on the success of three thriving reefs already established in Accabonac Harbor.

Behind the scenes, hatchery staff worked throughout the winter to raise young oysters—called spat—that will soon attach to cured shells and begin filtering the harbor. Each oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day, removing excess nutrients and supporting marine biodiversity.

“This project is what community science is all about—students learning hands-on, creating habitat, and seeing firsthand how shellfish improve water quality,” said Barley Dunne, Hatchery Director. “It’s an investment in the bay, and in our next generation of stewards.”

Local students from East Hampton High School are helping construct the reef using reclaimed shells donated by Il Buco, Bostwick’s, Rowdy Hall, Almond, Lunch, Shark Bar, and the Billion Oyster Project.

“Each reef we build is a living system,” said Robert Tymann, Education Chair at South Fork Sea Farmers. “These students are building something that will last—and clean the harbor in the process.”

The project is also supported by Mickey’s Carting, which donated trucking services to deliver over 35,000 pounds of cured shell. Dozens of local volunteers have helped collect, clean, and cure the shells for use in the reef.

“When local businesses step up like this, it shows how much people care about the future of our waters,” said Jeff Ragovin, President of South Fork Sea Farmers. “This reef belongs to the whole community.”

The new reef will serve as critical infrastructure for clean water and habitat restoration—bringing people together around a shared commitment to the bay.

Aluminium Dunkerque reaches a new milestone in its low-carbon strategy with the inauguration of Furnace 8, its first unit entirely dedicated to aluminium recycling, adding 20,000 tonnes per year to its production capacity.

LOON-PLAGE, France, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Aluminium Dunkerque today inaugurates its first recycling furnace – Furnace 8 – marking a major step forward in its industrial decarbonization plan, known as LowCAL (Low Carbon Aluminium).

This ambitious project reflects the company’s commitment to circular economy principles, industrial sovereignty, and the fight against climate change.

Located in Loon-Plage (Nord, France), Aluminium Dunkerque is the leading primary aluminium plant in France.  The new furnace enables the recycling of up to 7,000 tonnes of end-of-life aluminium per year (mainly sourced from the automotive, construction and packaging sectors), and the production of an additional 20,000 tonnes of metal with an ultra-low environmental footprint.

A strategic asset for industry and national sovereignty

Furnace 8 is part of a broader approach to reindustrialization and the reduction of imports of high-carbon aluminium.  “Each year, France still exports nearly 500,000 tonnes of aluminium scrap that could be processed domestically. By enabling on-site processing, Aluminium Dunkerque strengthens national sovereignty in critical metals while reducing greenhouse gas emissions,” says Guillaume de Goÿs, CEO of Aluminium Dunkerque.  This project will avoid the emission of 25,000 tonnes of CO₂ and the consumption of 96 GWh of electricity annually. As a result, Aluminium Dunkerque will reduce its average CO₂ emissions from ingot production by 10%.

Cutting-edge technical and environmental performance

With an output of 10 tonnes per hour, Furnace 8 is a state-of-the-art technical solution. It integrates best available technologies, notably oxy-fuel burners (natural gas and oxygen), which drastically reduce emissions from the melting process.  The furnace is also equipped with an internal industrial water recycling system, eliminating any overuse of water resources.

A key driver of the automotive industry’s transition

The aluminium alloys produced by Aluminium Dunkerque are widely used in the automotive sector, which is increasingly focused on reducing carbon emissions throughout the supply chain. Thanks to this new furnace, the plant can now offer its customers an additional volume of recycled aluminium with an exceptionally low environmental impact, directly supporting the decarbonization of the industry.

A concrete commitment to a sustainable future

This inauguration is a testament to Aluminium Dunkerque’s ambitious roadmap. Already certified by the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI), the company continues to grow in full compliance with the highest environmental standards.

About Aluminium Dunkerque: Aluminium Dunkerque is the last major primary aluminium plant established in France.  It specializes in the production of slabs and ingots in a wide range of alloys, designed for high value-added applications in the automotive, defense, transport and packaging sectors, among others.  Every year, 300,000 tonnes of aluminium are produced here, thanks to expertise that is widely recognized in both France and Europe.  As one of the global leaders in low-carbon aluminium production, Aluminium Dunkerque has reduced its emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 17% since 2013 and emits four times less greenhouse gases than the global industry average.  Building on these strengths, the company aims to play a major role in European low-carbon aluminium production, serving both its clients and its communities.  It is accelerating its energy and environmental transition through an ambitious decarbonization project called LowCAl – for Low Carbon Aluminium.

DENVER, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — AdCellerant, a Denver-based leader in advertising technology and digital marketing solutions, continues to live out its commitment to community impact through ongoing volunteer initiatives and health-driven philanthropy in 2025.

AdCellerant Strengthens Local Impact Through Volunteering and Meal Donations

Through its AdCellerant Gives program, team members have devoted 170 volunteer hours to local nonprofit partners, including Denver Urban Gardens (DUG) and SAME Café—organizations focused on food justice, urban agriculture, and providing healthy meals to all, regardless of ability to pay.

In addition, team members recently volunteered at a local dog rescue, where they spent the afternoon painting kennels, organizing storage areas, restocking donations, and—of course—sneaking in some time to play with the pups. The effort supported the shelter’s mission to create a more comfortable and organized space for rescued animals awaiting adoption. These ongoing efforts reflect the company’s people-first values and strong ties to the local Colorado community.

“Last week was truly the highlight of my spring. Volunteering with Denver Urban Gardens gave us a hands-on opportunity to support their mission by preparing the garden for the upcoming season. At SAME Café, we contributed to a meaningful cause and connected with colleagues across departments, strengthening relationships while giving back,” said Muhammad Khan, chair of AdCellerant Gives. “AdCellerant makes it easy to be part of something bigger. Through initiatives like AdCellerant Gives, we’re empowered to make a real difference in our community, and that’s one of the many reasons I’m proud to work here.”

In tandem with this, the company’s BeWell wellness program has turned employee movement into real-world impact through its Get Active to Give Back initiative. As of this year, AdCellerant employees have helped donate over 2,396 meals to the Food Bank of the Rockies by tracking their daily steps and physical activity.

“Our ‘Get Active to Give Back’ initiative turns personal goals and efforts into something bigger,” said Amy Fountain, director of people operations at AdCellerant. “It’s a fun way to give our teams another meaningful reason to move while supporting a local cause we care about.”

These initiatives are just a few examples of how AdCellerant weaves social responsibility into the fabric of its company culture. By aligning team wellness with local impact, AdCellerant continues to build a more substantial, healthier Colorado—one volunteer hour and one meal at a time.

About AdCellerant Gives

AdCellerant Gives is our initiative to give back to the Denver community through volunteering, donations, and sustainability efforts. As a Certified B Corporation and Certifiably Green Business, we are proud to be zero-waste and carbon-neutral, partnering with organizations like DUG to create food forests in food desert neighborhoods.

As a company, employees have volunteered thousands of hours, donated over 34,000 meals to the Food Bank of the Rockies, and donated tens of thousands of dollars to local non-profits through our employee match program. At AdCellerant, we believe companies that can do more should, and we’re committed to creating a brighter, greener future for everyone.

New Ownership, New Mission: Staten Island Dealership Pledges Support for Heroes While Rebuilding Trust Through Transparency and Community Commitment

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Honda of Staten Island is proud to announce a new collaboration with the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, committing a percentage of every vehicle sold to support America’s first responders, veterans, and their families. This powerful initiative signals more than just generosity—it marks the beginning of a new era for the dealership under new ownership, focused on community, respect, and integrity.

“Tunnel to Towers represents everything we stand for: service, sacrifice, and putting others first,” said Steven Risso, General Manager. “We want our customers to know that buying a car from us means standing with heroes. It means helping build mortgage-free homes for the families of fallen first responders and catastrophically injured veterans. It means you’re part of something bigger.”

“We’re proud to work alongside Honda of Staten Island in their commitment to supporting our nation’s heroes,” said Frank Siller, Chairman and CEO of the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. “This collaboration exemplifies the power of local businesses to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have sacrificed so much for our country. Every vehicle sold will help us continue our mission of providing mortgage-free homes to the families of fallen first responders and catastrophically injured veterans. Together, we’re honoring their service and ensuring that their sacrifice is never forgotten.”

With a 2025 goal of raising $50,000, this alliance is the cornerstone of a broader mission to rebuild trust in the automotive industry—especially in a market where many consumers have been burned by past experiences, including with this dealership’s previous ownership.

A Full Rebuild with the Community in Mind

Under new leadership, Honda of Staten Island is doing more than just changing its image—it’s making a multi-million-dollar investment to build a state-of-the-art facility designed to deliver a world-class automotive experience. Key highlights of the transformation include:

• A Modern, Customer-Centric Showroom – Built for comfort, transparency, and convenience
• An Advanced Service Center – Faster turnaround, better diagnostics, and more trust
• Community-Centered Culture – Prioritizing respect for your time, your budget, and your values

“This isn’t just a facelift—it’s a full rebuild from the ground up,” Steven Risso, General Manager added. “We’re investing in our people, our facility, and our community. We’re here to be the most respected dealership in Staten Island, and it starts with doing the right thing every single day.”

A Respect Promise

In addition to the Tunnel to Towers initiative, the dealership’s Respect Promise includes:

• Transparent pricing with no hidden fees
• Streamlined transactions that value your time
• Genuine community engagement with union workers, nurses, teachers, first responders, and small business owners

Customers are invited to visit and see the difference for themselves. A special community launch event is being planned to celebrate the collaboration and share the dealership’s bold new direction.

About the Tunnel to Towers Foundation

Born from the tragedy of 9/11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation carries out its mission to “do good” by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders. Tunnel to Towers is also committed to eradicating veteran homelessness and helping America Never Forget September 11, 2001.
