CATL and the Ellen Macarthur Foundation Set Direction for Circular EV Batteries with Landmark Whitepaper

DAVOS, Switzerland, Jan. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Leading The Charge – Turning risk into reward with a circular economy for EV batteries and critical minerals, a whitepaper released by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026, marks the first integrated, actionable circular value-chain roadmap for EV batteries grounded in real-world industrial practice. It also sets a landmark milestone in the cooperation between CATL and the Foundation.

Developed with input from over 30 leading organizations across the EV battery ecosystem — including CATL, DHL, Volvo, and JLR, alongside research institutions and NGOs — the report sets out a clear, industry-informed direction for how EV batteries must be designed, used, recovered, and reintegrated to maximise value and reduce systemic risk across the value chain.

As the founding strategic partner of The Foundation’s Critical Minerals Mission, CATL worked closely with The Foundation and industry peers to translate circular economy principles into practical, deployable actions grounded in real operating experience. The roadmap also supports CATL’s Global Energy Circularity Commitment, including its long-term goal to decouple battery growth from virgin raw material extraction.

It highlights the opportunities a circular EV battery system can unlock across environment, economy, product, and broader value creation. By keeping batteries and their critical minerals in use across multiple lifecycles, it reduces demand for newly mined materials, lowers emissions, and supports renewable energy integration. It also increases economic value by improving material efficiency, lowering waste and operational costs, and creating new revenue streams. At the same time, it strengthens supply chain resilience and distributes economic benefits more equitably across regions, showing that a systemic, circular approach transforms potential risks into strategic, value-generating opportunities.

Five bright spots to unlock a circular EV battery system
The whitepaper identifies five interdependent actions needed to keep battery materials in high-value use and strengthen system resilience:

  1. Design batteries for circularity, not disposal
  2. Rethink battery service within optimized energy–mobility systems
  3. Scale circular business models that treat batteries as long-term assets
  4. Build and co-invest in regional circular infrastructure
  5. Enable a circular operating system through data, standards, and policy

CATL actions already in practice
CATL is already putting these system-level actions into practice across its operations. By separating the battery from the vehicle, CATL manages batteries as centrally managed assets, increasing utilization, enabling scheduled maintenance, and ensuring predictable return at end of use. Today, CATL operates more than 1,000 passenger-vehicle and over 300 commercial-vehicle swap stations, supported by a growing ecosystem of more than 100 partners.

This system integration enables high-quality recovery at scale. CATL’s recycling operations achieve recovery rates of 99.6% for nickel, cobalt, and manganese, and 96.5% for lithium, with processing capacity expanding toward 270,000 tonnes per year. In parallel, CATL is applying alternative chemistries such as sodium-ion batteries, using widely available materials and reducing lifecycle carbon emissions per kilowatt-hour by up to 60%, reinforcing circular performance across mobility, swapping, and energy storage applications.

Scaling together
Speaking at The Foundation’s Leadership Briefing among CATL Jiang Li, Vice-Chairman and Board Secretary of CATL highlighted: “This report marks a major milestone in the global journey towards a circular battery economy. Circular battery systems must now be scaled across regions, industries, and applications — from EVs to energy storage — and adapted to diverse market contexts.”

“As EV adoption accelerates, a circular economy for batteries and critical minerals is no longer optional — it is essential to affordability, resilience, and long-term growth while reducing environmental and social impacts,” said Wen-Yu Weng, Executive Leader for Critical Minerals at the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. “EV batteries are strategic assets, and circular approaches are key to retaining their value and ensuring critical minerals never become waste. We welcome CATL’s contribution and look forward to continued collaboration to help scale a truly circular battery system and support the wider energy transition.”

For CATL, this agenda directly underpins its pathway to carbon neutrality — building on the achievement of carbon neutrality across all its battery plants, and its target to achieve carbon neutrality across the full value chain by 2035.

The launch of the report marks an early milestone in CATL and The Foundation’s broader collaboration to accelerate circularity of critical minerals. The next phase will focus on stress-testing these approaches in real-world environments, to understand how design, use, life extension, collection, and recycling loops function together at scale.

High-Trend International Group Announces Nearly 98% Revenue Growth for Fiscal Year 2025 and Stronger Balance Sheet

NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — High-Trend International Group (NASDAQ: HTCO) (“HTCO” or the “Company”), a global ocean technology company, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025.

  • Total revenue soared 98% year-over-year to approximately US$214.4 million in fiscal year 2025
  • Ocean freight revenue jumped 103% year-over-year, with total voyage days more than doubling
  • Operating cash flow turned positive at approximately US$4.6 million
  • Cash and cash equivalents increased to approximately US$10.1 million as of October 31, 2025

Revenue and volume growth

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, High-Trend’s total revenue increased to approximately US$214.4 million, compared to approximately US$108.2 million for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2024, representing an increase of approximately US$106.2 million, or 98.2%. This growth was primarily driven by a significant expansion of the Company’s coal transportation business on routes including Australia–Asia, Indonesia–Southeast Asia and Vietnam, which substantially increased voyage days and dry bulk shipping volumes.

Ocean freight revenue increased to approximately US$214.0 million in fiscal 2025 from approximately US$105.4 million in fiscal 2024, an increase of approximately US$108.6 million, or 103.1%. Total voyage days rose from 3,496 days in fiscal 2024 to 7,470 days in fiscal 2025, reflecting the Company’s expanded fleet deployment and higher customer demand.

Stronger cash position

The Company generated net cash provided by operating activities of approximately US$4.6 million in fiscal 2025, compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately US$3.3 million in fiscal 2024, reflecting a significant year-over-year improvement in operating cash flow. As a result, cash and cash equivalents increased to approximately US$10.1 million as of October 31, 2025, from approximately US$6.9 million as of October 31, 2024.

Net loss primarily driven by non-cash items

High-Trend reported a net loss of approximately US$20.1 million for fiscal 2025, an improvement from a net loss of approximately US$21.2 million for fiscal 2024. The 2025 net loss was driven largely by non-cash expenses, most notably share-based compensation of approximately US$21.9 million, compared to approximately US$1.2 million in fiscal 2024, as the Company issued shares and options to directors, management and consultants in lieu of cash compensation and to support future growth.

By contrast, non-cash losses related to the Company’s convertible notes that significantly impacted the prior year did not recur in fiscal 2025. In fiscal 2024, the Company recorded a non-cash loss of approximately US$23.2 million from the change in fair value of convertible notes and an additional non-cash loss of approximately US$0.3 million on the settlement of convertible notes, which were major contributors to the prior-year net loss. Excluding these prior-year non-cash fair value and settlement losses, the Company’s underlying operating performance in 2025 reflects substantial revenue growth and improved cash flow generation despite reported net losses being dominated by non-cash charges.

Management commentary

“Our fiscal 2025 results clearly demonstrate that High-Trend has successfully scaled its core shipping business, nearly doubling revenue year-over-year while strengthening our cash position and book value per share,” said Christopher Nixon Cox, Chairman of High-Trend International Group. “Although we reported a net loss in 2025, this was primarily driven by non-cash share-based compensation, as we chose to incentivize management and partners with equity rather than cash. From a cash perspective, our operations delivered positive cash flow and a significantly stronger balance sheet.”

He continued, “Looking ahead, we intend to continue focusing on high-demand trade lanes and disciplined cost management, while optimizing our capital structure and equity-based incentives to align long-term shareholder value with operational performance.”

Inside the Computing Power Behind Spatial Filmmaking: Hugh Hou Goes Hands-On at GIGABYTE Suite During CES 2026

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At CES 2026, VR filmmaker and educator Hugh Hou led a live spatial computing demonstration inside the GIGABYTE suite, showing how immersive video is created in real production environments, not in theory or controlled lab conditions.

Inside the Computing Power Behind Spatial Filmmaking: Hugh Hou Goes Hands-On at GIGABYTE Suite During CES 2026

The session gave attendees a close look at a complete spatial filmmaking pipeline, from capture through post-production and final playback. Instead of relying on pre-rendered content, the workflow was executed live on the show floor, reflecting the same processes used in commercial XR projects and placing clear demands on system stability, performance consistency, and thermal reliability. The experience culminated with attendees viewing a two-minute spatial film trailer across Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, and the newly launched Galaxy XR headsets, alongside a 3D tablet display offering an additional 180-degree viewing option.

Where AI Fits Into Real Creative Workflows

AI was presented not as a feature highlight, but as a practical tool embedded into everyday editing tasks. During the demo, AI-assisted enhancement, tracking, and preview processes helped speed up iteration without interrupting creative flow.

Footage captured on cinema-grade immersive cameras moved through industry-standard software including Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. AI-based upscaling, noise reduction, and detail refinement were applied to meet the visual requirements of immersive VR, where any artifact or softness becomes immediately noticeable across a 360-degree viewing environment.

Why Platform Design Matters for Spatial Computing

Supporting the entire workflow was a custom-built GIGABYTE AI PC designed specifically for sustained spatial video workloads. The system combined an AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D processor with a Radeon™ AI PRO R9700 AI TOP GPU, providing the memory bandwidth and continuous AI performance required for real-time 8K spatial video playback and rendering. Equally critical, the X870E AORUS MASTER X3D ICE motherboard delivered stable power and signal integrity, allowing the workflow to run predictably throughout the live demonstration.

The experience concluded with attendees viewing a finished spatial film trailer across Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, and Galaxy XR devices.

By enabling a demanding spatial filmmaking workflow to operate live and repeatedly at CES, GIGABYTE demonstrated how platform-level system design turns complex immersive production into something creators can rely on, not just experiment with.
