SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 August 2025 – As Singapore continues to push towards greener, smarter infrastructure, Ausko has announced a shift in focus to address these evolving waste disposal needs. The company aims to focus on product variety, hygiene requirements, and design customisation for waste solutions in different environments. A Shift Toward Customised and Scalable Solutions According to Mr. Andrew Koh, founder of Ausko, the company’s next phase will centre on: Advising on product selection based on operational and hygiene requirements. Expanding its range of bin types and sizes to meet varying industry needs. Offering customised bin designs tailored to specific environments and use cases One example of this is the Big Buddy Bin—a monkey-proof bin developed and launched in collaboration with the National Environment Agency (NEA). Projects like this reflect Ausko’s broader approach: responding to real-world conditions with practical, context-specific bin design. “We aim to keep pace with industry shifts and provide solutions that help clients meet both regulatory requirements and day-to-day operational needs,” said Mr. Koh. A Front-Row Seat to a Changing City In the early 2000s, the demand for durable, wheeled bins grew in step with Singapore’s construction boom and population growth. Ausko’s early clients included schools, town councils, waste collectors, cleaning companies, and healthcare facilities—sectors that needed small- to large-capacity bins along with basic hygiene infrastructure. Two decades later, the demand faced today is markedly different. With a shift toward space optimisation, stricter public hygiene standards, and the country’s Green Plan 2030, the types of bins needed—and the expectations around them—have changed. Meeting New Demands with New Tools To meet these evolving needs, Ausko moved beyond bin distribution and into manufacturing, setting up production facilities across countries in Asia and forming partnerships across Europe. Today, the company supplies a range of options—from recycling bins and dustbins with lids to other hygiene-focused designs tailored for different environments. These newer models incorporate features like fill-level monitoring and cloud-based tracking, which allow users to better plan waste collection routines. As businesses and municipalities seek to streamline their waste solutions while aligning with sustainability goals, these tools have become increasingly relevant. More broadly, such developments reflect Ausko’s ongoing efforts to adapt to Singapore’s changing urban and environmental needs. Moving forward, the company aims to continue supporting industries with products and services tailored to evolving operational and regulatory demands.

LANKAO, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 August 2025 – From July 23 to 27, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Media and Think Tank Summit took place in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Themed Upholding the “Shanghai Spirit” to Build a More Beautiful Home, the summit brought together leading media outlets, prominent think tanks, senior government officials and diplomatic envoys from SCO member states, observer states and dialogue partners, renowned scholars and experts in relevant fields, as well as representatives of the SCO Secretariat and other international and regional organizations. On July 26, guests traveled to Lankao County, Kaifeng City, for a field visit. They roceeded to Jiaotong Square to hear stories about the Jiaotong Tree，headed to Jiao Yulu Memorial Park for the exhibition showcasing Comrade Jiao Yulu’s life and deeds，and departed for Huanghewan (Yellow River Bay) in Dongbatou Town to learn about ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River.At last, guests departed for Guyang Music Town to visit the national musical instrument industry.They were eager to learn how this once impoverished region, long tormented by sandstorms, salinization, and waterlogging, had achieved comprehensive revitalization through environmental governance and industrial development. Cultural Exchange Center in Lankao County, Henan Province, taken on May 14th Decades of relentless effort have forged Lankao’s remarkable transformation, a change vividly reflected in each upright paulownia tree. This is the pulse of the earth.Stretching beneath the vast sky of China, the mighty Yellow River, revered as the Mother River, surges like a dragon, nourishing the root of Chinese civilization. In Lankao, however, these same torrential waters of the Yellow River, with their relentless floods and windblown sands, also left three natural disasters, sandstorms, saline-alkaline soil, and waterlogging. When the spring breeze blows across the old course of the Yellow River again, the landscape of Lankao is transformed. An ocean of paulownia trees spreads out into a stretch of vibrant green. With broad-leaved canopies, these tall and straight trees are like immortal monuments standing on the earth, wordlessly telling the name of a pioneer – Jiao Yulu. One generation plants the trees, under whose shade another generation rests. In 1962, Jiao Yulu, then secretary of the Lankao County Party Committee, led the masses in a battle against three natural disasters. Their ingenious methods—covering sand dunes with excavated silt and planting trees to stabilize moving sands—have found a new life today. The ecological corridor, with a length of more than 1,500 kilometers, and the ecological forest land, covering an area of 200,000 mu, have become the unique “lucid waters and lush mountains” in the plain sandy area.Once endangering the people in Lankao, the three natural disasters—sandstorms, saline-alkaline soil and waterlogging—have now been transformed into ecotourism resources.Tourists can view old photos at the Yellow River Control Memorial Hall, go birdwatching by restored wetlands, and enjoy the rustle of leaves in the paulownia forest. The paulownia forest is not only a green barrier guarding the homeland, but also breeds vigorous vitality.In Xuchang Village,Guyang Town, people there awaken to the melodious sound of the guzheng and guqin.Once planted to shield against wind and fix the sands, the paulownia trees have now become excellent materials for making Chinese traditional instruments. Xuchang Village produces over 100,000 units of guzheng and guqin annually, generating 150 million yuan (CNY) in output value. With the help of e-commerce, the products are not only sold well across the country, but also exported to more than 10 countries and regions, including Japan and the United States. From a poverty-stricken village in the past to a prosperous village nowadays, the paulownia tree has witnessed the remarkable transformation of Xuchang Village. Meanwhile, in the home-furnishing industrial park, leading enterprises such as Sofia and TATA Wood Door have taken root. These “singing woods” have been transformed from “timber worth dozens of yuan” into a modern home-furnishing industry with a production and operation income of more than 50 billion yuan(CNY). Paulownia has become the economic pillar of Lankao, and the furniture produced is shipped from Lankao to many cities across the country. The gifts of this land extend far beyond this. The once barren saline-alkali soil are now planted with melt-in-your-mouth and sweet salt-tolerant sweet potatoes, juicy honey melons, and plump peanuts. These characteristic agricultural products have not only become the “New Three Treasures” of Lankao, but also a powerful new engine for boosting farmers’ incomes The economic development has changed the local people’s way of life, and there are many such changes. In terms of education, finance, culture, science and technology, ecology and transportation, the brand-new Lankao is increasingly capturing the world’s attention. In the sunlight, the vast fields of photovoltaic panels shimmer like a blue ocean. In the fields, the modern wind turbines, stand tall and upright, their blades turning steadily in the breeze, generating clean energy that meets the local electricity demand and is transmitted to other regions. The construction of high-standard farmland has been comprehensively promoted.The former saline-alkali land has now become ten thousand mu of fertile farmland. Through the exploration of “5G + smart agriculture”, Lankao has realized the transformation from “relying on the weather for food” to tech-driven harvests. The grain yields climb steadily. The Harvest Festival brims with stories of the smart farming. On the land of Lankao, the beautiful picture of fertile farmland is slowly unfolding with “villages in the fields, fields among the villages, and villages and fields as one”. From the paulownia tree planted by Jiao Yulu to the comprehensive revitalization of Lankao today, this is a history of struggle, and also a legend of moving from desolation and poverty to fertility and prosperity . The vitality of a tree lies in taking root downward and growing upward; the vitality of a city lies in transforming the sand of suffering into the light of hope. This is the answer that Lankao has given to the world. Ahmed Hassan Ahmed Mohamed Moustafa, Owner and Director of Asia Center for Studies and Translation from Egypt, expressed during his visit that he was deeply impressed

At the event, Lee Thai Hung, Deputy Director-General of Tourism Malaysia, lauded Shede Spirits for its role in fostering China–Malaysia cultural exchange and charitable initiatives. He noted that the “Shede Spirit” resonates strongly with Malaysia’s vision of integrating culture and tourism, fulfilling social responsibilities, and deepening bilateral friendship. He expressed the hope that more leading Chinese enterprises would join in advancing cooperation between the two nations. Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, reaffirmed Fosun’s commitment to propelling Shede Spirits and Chinese baijiu culture onto the world stage. He highlighted Shede’s recent strides in production capacity and R&D infrastructure, which underpin the brand’s long-term growth under its aged-baijiu strategy. Guided by the principle of long-termism, Fosun will continue to support Shede’s sustainable development by harnessing both domestic and international platform resources—deepening its footprint in China while accelerating overseas expansion. Guo emphasized Southeast Asia’s deep-rooted Chinese communities and natural affinity for baijiu, expressing his hope that Shede will become the most beloved and trusted Chinese baijiu brand in the region. He added that cultural outreach and product innovation would serve as the twin engines driving Shede’s future, creating shared success for partners and energizing global market growth. As a cornerstone of Shede’s international strategy, Southeast Asia holds profound strategic importance. In his keynote, Shede Spirits Chairman Pu Jizhou reflected on the enduring friendship and cultural bonds between China and Malaysia, offering an incisive interpretation of the contemporary significance of the “Shede” philosophy. He noted that Shede hails from Shehong in Suining, Sichuan—Hometown of Baijiu. As Tang poet Du Fu once wrote, “Shehong spring wine stays freshly green despite the chill.” Today, a pot of Shede Baijiu, just like the iconic Guanyin Lake with its vast expanse, becomes the signature of the city. With Fosun’s support, Shede has rapidly expanded into 40 countries and regions worldwide, achieving both overseas profitability and sustained growth. Pu pledged to deepen Shede’s commitment to the Southeast Asian market, forging partnerships with more distributors to weave premium aged baijiu into local lifestyles—transforming the wisdom of Shede into a bridge for global cultural exchange and emotional resonance, and enabling the world to savor the fragrance of Chinese baijiu and the elegance of Chinese culture. The evening reached its zenith with a charity auction, as rare bottles of Shede aged baijiu drew spirited bidding from collectors and connoisseurs, with every lot sold. All proceeds were donated to Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman to support the advancement of Chinese education and academic development in Malaysia—embodying the Shede Spirit through meaningful action. With Fosun’s strategic empowerment, Shede Spirits continues to accelerate its global footprint, with products now available in 40 countries and regions. Looking ahead, the brand will further leverage its “Aged Baijiu + Culture” model, exploring new pathways for sustainable overseas growth and joining hands with partners worldwide to champion Chinese baijiu culture—crafting a better life for families across the globe.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 August 2025 – Southco has launched the new T6 Friction Hinge, a cost-effective access hardware solution that helps designers remove play from their panels without breaking their budget. T6 Friction Hinge Friction and torque hinges have been used to add resistance to panels for decades, and come with several benefits. Their resistance makes the panel easier to position, makes lighter materials feel heavier, and keeps users safe by preventing panels from quickly swinging open or slamming shut. However, these benefits have historically come at a significantly higher price compared to free-swinging hinges. While embedded torque engines and polished stainless-steel hardware are certainly the industry standard, they may become cost prohibitive as budgets tighten and engineers look to optimize every part of their design. Southco solved this price problem with their T6 Friction Hinge, foregoing expensive torque engines for precision stamping construction that tightly wraps the hinge knuckles around the pin, providing enough friction to remove play from the hinge without grinding or preventing movement. This process greatly reduces manufacturing costs, giving designers on all budgets access to the quality feel of a friction hinge. They also keep the benefits of stainless-steel construction, making the T6 Friction Hinge suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. “The T6 Friction Hinge offers a more cost-efficient solution, and the stainless-steel material offers corrosion resistance and aesthetic benefits,” said Southco Product Manager Stewart Beck. ” Its stamped construction helps keep the price down for all designers, while the added friction solves the play issues without the need for a high-end positioning control hinge.” For more information about the T6 Friction Hinge, visit southco.com or email the 24/7 customer service department at [email protected].

MEA’s unwavering commitment to sustainable community development and robust ESG initiatives has earned it prestigious awards in both the Social Empowerment and Corporate Sustainability Reporting categories. MEA’s success is largely attributed to its flagship “Enhancing Safety and Support for Sustainable Community” program. This comprehensive initiative, driven by core ESG principles, is designed to create lasting positive impacts for communities. A prime example is the Pattana Bon Kai Community, where MEA has significantly enhanced electrical safety through crucial upgrades and targeted training sessions. The program innovatively integrates renewable energy, particularly in smart farming operations managed by local seniors, thereby boosting local economies through support for community enterprises. Operating under a strategic “3S” approach—Safety, Supportive Community Enterprise, and Sustainable Community—the program fosters dynamic partnerships with diverse stakeholders, including government agencies, private companies, educational institutions, and the community itself. These collaborations are pivotal in problem-solving and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the initiatives. The tangible achievements of this program align directly with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), demonstrating measurable impacts such as a significant reduction in water waste, the provision of continuous clean energy, substantial income generation for community enterprises exceeding USD 13,000, improved community safety, and robust collaborative frameworks. Looking ahead to 2027, the program plans for continued expansion of smart farming, enhancement of a key learning center for sustainable practices, ongoing electrical system upgrades, and sustained support for local businesses to drive inclusive development and environmental stewardship. Beyond specific projects, MEA’s overarching commitment to ESG principles is evident in its meticulously prepared annual Sustainability Report, which adheres to GRI Standards and is fully aligned with the UN SDGs. The company’s “Triple Go for Goal” strategy—Go Smart, Go Digital, and Go Green—underpins its dedication to efficiency, technological advancement, and environmental innovation. This holistic approach has demonstrably benefited over 1,500 households, showcasing remarkable impacts such as significant CO₂ reduction, a record of zero data breaches, and substantial income generation. MEA’s systematic engagement with its eight key stakeholder groups and its transparent reporting across Planet, People, and Prosperity further underscore its leadership in corporate responsibility. The recognition at AREA 2025 serves as a powerful testament to MEA’s steadfast dedication to integrating its core electricity distribution services with comprehensive ESG principles. By actively fostering safer, greener, and more prosperous communities, MEA continues to set a benchmark for sustainable urban development and community well-being, driving progress towards global sustainability goals.
