New Powerful Eco-Friendly Deodorizing Product from Satellite Industries

Safe-T-Fresh, Chemical/Deodorizer division of Satellite Industries launches announces Eco Blue! Eco-friendly deodorizer, compliant, and big on fragrance.

As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention loosen guidelines, large gatherings and public events are on the rise. This has caused a boom in the events market, and sanitation equipment providers are renting and servicing more portable restrooms, handwash stations, and restroom trailers than ever before. In the wake of COVID-19, new servicing and cleaning standards have been set in place, requiring sanitation equipment operators to provide more and better service to maintain high levels of safety, hygiene, and comfort. Additional cleaning and service mean portable restroom operators require more, powerful, eco-friendly deodorizers.

Satellite Industries has responded to this need with a revolutionary new packet product that does not contain hazardous materials, has a long-lasting lavender fragrance or deep blue colour – ECO BlueSafe-T-Fresh, the deodorizer division of Satellite Industries, leads this product development and distribution.

Eco Blue’s patented malodor control technology eliminates the chemical process most current deodorizers use, by naturally absorbing malodors. Eco Blue is biocide and bacteria-free making it fully biodegradable and treatment plant-friendly. Safe-T-Fresh’s new Eco Blue will provide a worry-free week of service and refreshing lavender scent, at any temperature. Some features of Eco Blue included:

o FDA class approved food grade product (safest, most eco-friendly)
o Biocide free
o Worldwide compliance
o Prevents the odour-causing bacteria

Eco Blue is intended for use as a deodorizing product for the portable restroom, RV, motor coach, boat, and plumbing-related industries.
Satellite Industries is a sanitation equipment manufacturer, in business since 1958. A family-owned company specializing in the design and manufacturing of portable restrooms and handwash stations, vacuum trucks, restroom trailers, and deodorizers. Satellite now provides products to portable restroom operators in over 120 countries around the world.

Sustainable Eating for a Better Earth

(Family Features) Although good nutrition is essential for human life, food production has a significant impact on the environment. Taking a more sustainable approach to sustaining your body can help protect the Earth and its climate.

Food production accounts for more than one-fourth of all greenhouse gas emissions, according to a report compiled by “Our World in Data.” Learn how you can fill your plate with more earth-friendly foods by practising these sustainable habits:

Grow Your Own Food

Gardening offers many benefits beyond the bounty of your harvest. Spending time outdoors in the sunshine is good for the soul while the foods you raise provide a convenient source of nutrition. Picking fresh produce from your backyard means you’re bypassing transportation, packaging and many of the other aspects of food production that are detrimental to the environment. What’s more, you get to enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you’re personally responsible for the food on your plate.

Reduce Food Waste

An estimated 30-40% of the United States’ food supply goes to waste each year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Not only could this food be helping hungry people, but it’s also taking up valuable space. USDA data shows food waste is the single largest category of material in U.S. landfills.

There are numerous easy ways you can do your part to ensure food is being used wisely. Be sure food is stored properly to prevent it from going bad before you eat it. At the grocery store, select “ugly” foods that may be misshapen or look unusual but are still fully edible. Plan your meals so you use ingredients (across multiple meals, if necessary) and either avoid leftovers or repurpose them into another meal. Avoid overeating, which has a negative impact on your health, wastes food resources and increases environmental impacts from processing and transportation.

Buy Climate-Friendly Foods

Choosing snacks that share your commitment to the climate can make a big difference. Not only does it help you feel better about the foods you eat, supporting brands that make the environment a priority can raise the bar for others. One example is Airly crackers, which are made with 100% wholesome oats and grains, and grown through a farming process that removes carbon dioxide from the air. The company also invests in agricultural and forestry projects by purchasing carbon credits to offset its production and transportation footprint.

The carbon footprint is on the back of each box, so you can see how many grams of carbon dioxide you are helping to remove from the air while satisfying a snack craving. Look for four flavour varieties packed with sweet and savoury notes including cheddar, sea salt, chocolate and salted caramel.

Be Conscious of Processing and Packaging

In general, foods with more packaging have a bigger impact on the environment. While some degree of packaging is necessary to safely preserve and transport food, choosing options with minimal recyclable packaging is a step you can take to help reduce how the food you eat affects the Earth.

Know Where it Comes From

Locally produced foods travel a shorter distance, which means they require less handling and transportation. That’s good news for the environment and it’s a simple way to support your community, too. Knowing more about the sources of your food goes beyond eating local. You can also make purchases from brands that promote sustainable agriculture and take meaningful steps to protect the environment, animals and natural habitats.

This stunning new interface, combined with several unique features, provides all companies access to a world-class retirement plan website experience that is typically only available to large corporations.

LT Trust, a leading provider of low-cost 401(k) solutions to small businesses, announced the release of its cutting-edge participant website. This stunning new interface, combined with several unique features, provides all companies access to a world-class retirement plan website experience that is typically only available to large corporations.

Highlights include:

  • Interactive charting of daily balances against employee contributions and total contributions (employee + employer)
  • Retirement income projections in both dollars and as a percentage of goal
  • Simplified, goal-based enrollment experience through iJoin
  • Contribution history graphing by source over time
  • Contemporary dark blue theme

The new participant experience is also accessible through a mobile app available in the Apple app store and Google Play store. The mobile app includes all the features available through the website, plus push notifications, such as alerting participants when a new contribution is posted to their account.

Burke Johnson, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of LT Trust, stated, “We spent a lot of time gathering feedback from our participants. We then used those insights to create one of the most innovative digital 401(k) approaches available to emerging businesses.” Mr. Johnson went on to explain how the user interface was refined, “Participants were presented with different themes to select from, ensuring that our vision was in line with their preferences and consistently they praised the modern, clean interface and loved the vibrant colours.”

Willi Schatz, Vice President of Investments at Elliott Cove Capital Management in Seattle, WA, commented, “LT Trust’s commitment to technology and meeting the needs of advisors and participants is refreshing. This new website is a bold statement that the retirement plan industry should be looking to follow. It creates a much-needed and impressive experience often seen in the retail investing marketplace. Participants will especially love the unique daily balance history chart; I am not aware of any other recordkeepers offering something similar. “

The new participant website is the latest step forward in LT Trust’s goal of becoming the premier technology solution in the small plan 401(k) market. Last year it released PartnerLens, a unique data visualization experience for advisors. Next up is SponsorLens, currently in beta testing, which will provide a similarly modern, data-driven interface for Plan Sponsors.

Peru Strengthens Its Revival Through Expo 2020 Dubai

The mega-event will be a meeting point for the global economic revival process and will allow Peru to enter markets with a high purchasing power.

The Export and Tourism Promotion Commission – PROMPERÚ reaffirmed Peru’s participation in Expo 2020 Dubai, which was to take place last year, but had been postponed due to the pandemic and will now be held from October 1 until March 2022.

“The development of Expo Dubai marks a new milestone in the process of economic revival, becoming the ideal opportunity for our country to reassert itself in the economic, commercial and tourist arena, positioning us before the eyes of the world,” said Amora Carbajal, executive president of PROMPERÚ.

The announcement was made after signing an agreement with DP World, a port logistics operator that will allow the best products to be sent from Peru to Dubai so that millions of visitors from all over the world may enjoy and get to know this country better.

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY

The Peruvian booth will promote various activities such as business roundtables related to the textile sector to boost its alpaca fibre and Peruvian cotton. With the aim of showing the diversity in natural raw materials, food fairs will be held, where superfoods will be front and centre.

The UAE ranks fifth in Peruvian shipments to Asia, behind China, South Korea, Japan and India. In 2020, non-traditional exports to the Middle East giant grew by 6.1% compared to 2019. On the other hand, within the framework of Expo 2020 Dubai, the World Travel Awards will be awarded in South America, where Peru is nominated in 16 categories. It is a great opportunity to promote this country’s main tourist destinations.

It is estimated that this event would provide Peru with a potential market of $2.14 billion for its export products and an income of more than $44 million in currencies from tourism within two years.
