LAS VEGAS, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As severe snowstorms sweep across the nation, threatening widespread power outages and plunging temperatures, BLUETTI announces the upcoming launch of the Elite 300 portable power station. Built as a high-density energy solution in the 3kWh category, the Elite 300 provides a reliable backup for families navigating winter emergencies and a versatile power source for the upcoming RV and camping season.

3kWh Capacity with Next-Level Compactness

BLUETTI’s Elite series is globally recognized for balancing raw power with true portability. The new Elite 300 carries the legacy of the popular Elite 200 V2 portable power station, delivering an expanded 3,014.4Wh capacity within a chassis size typically reserved for 2kWh units. This industry-leading space efficiency allows it to slide neatly into tight RV quarters or compact apartments where every square foot is vital.

Despite its sleek footprint, the Elite 300 delivers a robust 2,400W continuous output (4,800W Power Lifting Mode) through 11 versatile outlets. Whether keeping the lights on during a blizzard or running high-demand appliances on the road, the Elite 300 has already earned it the prestigious 2026 CES Picks Awards from both TWICE and TechRadar Pro.

Home Resilience for Winter Storms and More Seasonal Extremes

For homeowners facing extreme weather, the Elite 300 offers a silent, emission-free take on the traditional gas generator, ensuring reliable power without the need for fuel storage. It can keep a standard household refrigerator (1kWh/day) running for nearly 60 hours, ensuring food stays fresh during prolonged outages. With its massive output, it effortlessly handles heavy-duty essentials like space heaters, electric kettles, and ovens to maintain warmth during sudden freezes.

Featuring a 10ms seamless UPS switchover, the Elite 300 provides instant backup for essential electronics like Wi-Fi routers. Through the BLUETTI App, supporting both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, users can even remotely activate heaters or lighting via Remote Wakeup, ensuring a warm, safe home before they even step through the door. When time is of the essence, its AC and solar dual fast charging reaches 80% in just 70 minutes.

Plug-and-Play Freedom for RV, Camping & Road Trips

A game-changer for travel trailers and camper vans, the Elite 300 features 11 versatile outlets, headlined by a dedicated TT-30R RV port and a high-current 12V/30A DC output. It acts as a silent and mobile “shore power” source, keeping house batteries topped up while running AC appliances like coffee makers and electric kettles. To maximize off-grid efficiency, the 12V/30A DC port eliminates energy loss of AC-to-DC conversion, directly powering high-draw loads like diesel heaters and water pumps.

For camping, boondocking, and more off-grid road trips, the Elite 300 can be paired with the Charger 2—an alternator and solar dual charger to capture 1,200W on-the-go charging. This input is 13 times faster than a standard cigarette lighter port, ensuring even short commutes yield significant energy gains. With a full 3kWh charge achievable in about three hours of driving, the Elite 300 stands ready for immediate use upon arrival—powering camp lights, cooking appliances, or RV essentials without the typical wait for a recharge.

Pricing and Availability

The BLUETTI Elite 300 will be available starting March 8, with final retail pricing to be announced. In light of ongoing blizzard conditions, BLUETTI has also launched an Early Access Program for the Elite 300. Registered participants will receive priority shipping and a guaranteed 8% early-bird discount, along with access to an exclusive “Spin to Win” event offering savings of up to 50%—providing added support as households prepare for the next wave of extreme weather.

Where One Sip Meets One Bite, and Culture Becomes Taste

ANAHEIM, Calif., Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Natural Products Expo West, Orbitel Group (OBT) is not simply showcasing products, it is introducing a new wave of flavor language to the global food industry.

As the first food innovation company to formally define, develop, and scale “Swicy” — the convergence of sweet and spicy — Orbitel is setting the tone for how the world will taste next. Rooted in Asian flavor culture and shaped by years of deep consumer insight, Swicy reflects how modern audiences eat today: layered, curious, and driven by connection.

“Food has always evolved through movement — of people, of cultures, of ideas,” said Fanny Chen, CEO of Orbitel Group. “With Swicy, we’re naming something that’s been building quietly across cultures. By giving it language, we’re helping it travel — from everyday moments to the global stage.”

At Expo West 2026, Orbitel brings together its two brands — One Sip (O’s Bubble) and One Bite (O’scallion) — under the guiding idea of Our Best Times. Together, they create multisensory experiences where sweetness softens heat, spice adds dimension, and texture builds memory.

We’ll debut new Swicy launches, including Boba+ Duo Kits that pair Boba 3.0 with Shirataki Noodles and Mala Spicy Noodles, alongside a look at what’s coming next – including an upcoming Protein Series designed for modern lifestyles.

From playful boba drinks layered with chew and creaminess, to innovative concepts that bridge boba-inspired formats with iconic savory favorites such as ramen and Korean street-food classics like teokbokki, Orbitel is reimagining how familiar foods can evolve for a global audience. These combinations mark the beginning of a broader exploration — one that invites new formats, new contrasts, and flavors yet to be discovered.

“Swicy isn’t a trend we’re reacting to — it’s a new wave and category shift we’re building,” Chen continued. “When sweetness, heat, and texture come together intentionally, food feels exciting but still deeply comforting. That balance is what makes Swicy powerful.”

Natural Products Expo West, held annually in Anaheim, California, brings together thousands of brands, retailers, distributors, and industry leaders, serving as one of the most influential platforms for food, beverage, and wellness innovation. Orbitel’s presence at Expo West signals the arrival of Swicy as a category-defining concept, ready for global adoption.

Backed by years of understanding North American consumers and insights gained as an Amazon Best Seller in North America, Orbitel continues to innovate with relevance and scale, translating cultural insight into products that resonate in real life.

“Our role is to help ideas travel at scale,” said Chen. “Whether it’s a street-food favorite, a nostalgic drink, or a flavor combination that hasn’t yet been explored, we work with partners to bring new tastes, new formats, and new experiences to the world.”

Orbitel’s leadership in Swicy is supported by its core pillars: food technology innovation, product functionality upgrades, strategic partnerships, and global supply-chain expansion. Together, these capabilities position Orbitel as a best-in-class food service and innovation partner for brands looking to lead the next wave of global flavor.

Visitors to Orbitel’s Booth Anaheim Convention Center Hall A #1101 at Expo West are invited to experience Swicy firsthand — to taste how layers of flavor and texture unlock new possibilities, and to explore how collaboration with Orbitel can shape the future of food.

“Food connects people,” Chen added. “When we innovate with respect for culture and curiosity for what’s next, we don’t just create products — we create shared experiences. Swicy is just the beginning.”

About Orbitel International Group

Orbitel International Group is a global food innovation company committed to bringing authentic Asian lifestyle products to the world. Its flagship brand O’s Bubble has redefined bubble tea — from frozen (BOBA 1.0) to microwaveable (BOBA 2.0) to its latest ready-to-eat Boba (BOBA 3.0). Operating in 50+ countries, Orbitel is trusted by retailers, distributors, and foodservice leaders for its supply chain excellence, product innovation, and strategic partnerships — all built on the belief that food and drink should always deliver Our Best Times.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following its breakout success at NRF 2026 in New York this past January, NXN Labs is proving that the future of retail AI has shifted from the “experimental” phase into core enterprise infrastructure.

The San Francisco and Seoul-based startup was officially named to the Innovators’ Showcase Top 50—a selection curated by the National Retail Federation and leading venture investors to highlight the most disruptive retail technologies. Adding to this momentum, NXN Labs was also recognized as one of FashionUnited’s Top 5 Retail Tech Startups during the showcase.

From NRF Recognition to European Luxury Expansion

The accolades in New York have rapidly translated into commercial success. NXN Labs confirmed it has secured paid contracts with several premier European luxury brands. For these prestigious houses, the value proposition lies in NXN’s ability to automate high-volume visual production without compromising the uncompromising aesthetic standards inherent to luxury retail.

“Creative wasn’t the constraint; production bandwidth was,” says Jen Rhi, Founder and CEO of NXN Labs.

A Stanford alumna and former McKinsey consultant, Rhi founded the company in 2024 after witnessing the friction of D2C scaling firsthand. While the market is currently saturated with prompt-based “text-to-image” tools, NXN Labs distinguishes itself with a proprietary multimodal diffusion model. Their “Image-to-Infrastructure” approach allows brands to automate the entire production pipeline—from model shoots to visual A/B testing of PDP and campaign assets—directly within their digital production OS workflow.

The Road Ahead: Shoptalk Spring 2026

Building on its NRF momentum, NXN Labs is now heading to Shoptalk Spring 2026 in Las Vegas to further its expansion into the global premium retail sector.

As retailers face mounting pressure to refresh digital content across global marketplaces and social commerce, NXN’s “Production OS” is emerging as the essential backbone for the next generation of visual commerce. In an era where content demand has multiplied across channels, NXN Labs’ thesis remains clear: In modern commerce, visual production—not design—is the ultimate scaling constraint. By solving this bottleneck, the startup is helping the world’s most prestigious brands transition legacy studio workflows into a digital-first future.

About NXN Labs

NXN Labs develops a virtual try-on solution using fashion-specialized generative AI (image-to-image diffusion) technology, enabling automatic generation of images that appear as if models are wearing products without actual photoshoots. By automating fashion content production processes, the company supports brands in focusing on creative capabilities while driving digital transformation and ESG innovation in the fashion industry. Currently, the company is partnering with Shinsegae International, KREAM, and several global fashion brands on various projects.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Water purification brand Waterdrop Filter announced the official launch of its PFAS Protection Initiative in February. The initiative aims to help households worldwide better understand and address health risks posed by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water through public education and practical, household-level water solutions.

In May 2025, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) established the first national drinking water standards for PFAS under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), with public water systems gradually working toward full compliance. The finalized National Primary Drinking Water Regulations (NPDWR) set the maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for two widely used and high-risk PFAS compounds—perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS)—at 4.0 parts per trillion (ppt), while the health-based maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs) were set at 0 ppt. These limits aim to reduce the exposure of tens of millions of Americans to PFAS and lower the risk of potential health effects from long-term exposure, including cancer, liver damage, and weakened immune function.However, under the current regulatory timeline, it will take public water systems several years to complete monitoring and necessary infrastructure upgrades, and variations in regional infrastructure mean that water quality may still vary widely across areas. Against this backdrop, Waterdrop Filter believes that protecting against PFAS-related health risks cannot depend solely on public water systems; it must also be addressed as a long-term, science-based priority within every household.

As part of this initiative, Waterdrop Filter will collaborate with health, environmental, and consumer-facing media to share science-based and accessible information on PFAS, as well as guidance on reducing the associated health risks. From a technical standpoint, Waterdrop Filter employs reverse osmosis (RO) technology to provide households worldwide with a reliable option for reducing PFAS in drinking water. According to research by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), RO technology is widely recognized as one of the most effective ways for households to reduce PFAS in their drinking water. Waterdrop Filter’s under-sink RO system can reduce detectable levels of PFOS and PFOA in water by up to 98%. This household-level filtration approach offers a practical, ready-to-use option to help reduce PFAS levels toward the EPA’s health-based goal, without the need for major renovations.

Waterdrop Filter recommends customized drinking water solutions to reduce PFAS, tailored to different household types and life stages:

• Waterdrop Filter G3P800 RO System: This system can reduce PFOA by up to 98% and PFOS by up to 99%, and holds NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certifications. It is specifically designed for households with heightened sensitivity, including families with infants, pregnant women, or elderly members. Its tankless design delivers a continuous supply of fresh, on-demand drinking water, providing peace of mind and consistent protection to the family members who need it most.
• Waterdrop Filter X16 RO System: With an ultra-high flow rate of 1,600 gallons per day, this system can reduce PFOA by 98.88% and PFOS by 98.97%. It easily meets the daily water needs of multi-member households for cooking, cleaning, and other household uses, helping every family member reduce exposure to the health risks of PFAS.
• Waterdrop Filter DLG-P: Despite its compact and versatile design, testing shows this system effectively reduces PFOA 99.7% and PFOS 99.6%. Its simple installation and small footprint make it well suited for renters who prioritize PFAS protection, as well as individuals with fast-paced lifestyles.

The 2026 PFAS Protection Initiative is an initial step in a longer-term effort. Looking ahead, Waterdrop Filter will continue to invest in filtration technology and product development, providing long-term, efficient, and user-friendly solutions to reduce PFAS in drinking water. In doing so, it aims to help make safe and healthy drinking water more accessible to households everywhere.Learn more from waterdropfilter.com and Amazon Store

Trader Follows 2024 Record With 252% Gain; Plans Broader Investor Education Push

NEW YORK, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Law Wai-Sum, a Hong Kong trader known as J Law, is expanding his investment education business, JLawStock, to the International market after posting a record 1,499% cumulative return over two years in the top division of the United States Investing Championship.

Law followed a 353.9% gain in 2024 with a 252.3% return in 2025, securing first place in the division for a second consecutive year. Over the same two-year period, the S&P 500 advanced about 47%, based on data published by the competition.

Founded in 1983, the annual championship tracks verified real-money accounts across multiple categories and publishes audited performance rankings. Organizers said 579 participants entered the 2025 event. Law competed in the Money Manager Verified Ratings division, which requires a minimum starting balance of $1 million.

In an interview, Law attributed the results to disciplined execution.

“Most people focus on finding a magic strategy,” he said. “What makes performance repeatable is a process that reduces costly mistakes and puts risk control first.”

Law said individual investors can improve results by adhering to three principles: reducing trade frequency to reduce execution mistakes and transaction costs; adapting established frameworks to personal constraints such as time availability and risk tolerance; and adjusting tactics as market conditions evolve.

“A strategy that performs in one environment may underperform in another,” he said.

Law, who trades U.S. markets from Asia, also said time differences are not the primary challenge.

“Time zones aren’t the real issue — emotional trading is,” he said. “Success depends on preparation and identifying favorable risk-reward setups before the opening bell.”

Following the competition, Law said he plans to expand his investor education business, JLawStock, from Singapore, including the development of English-language materials and structured analytical frameworks aimed at investors in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

JLawStock offers structured trading frameworks for retail investors. Its curriculum emphasizes professional trading techniques, discipline and the mindset required for long-term market participation. The programs have attracted full-time traders, financial influencers, and fund managers. 

“I want to raise the standard of investment education,” Law said. “Empowering investors with a professional-grade process is my next mission.”
