Yindii Awards Honour Singapore’s Top F&B Brands Turning Food Waste into Social Impact

SINGAPORE, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Singapore’s leading changemakers in the fight against food waste were honoured at the Yindii Eco-Brand Awards 2025 on 18th September, celebrating F&B businesses and individuals that have collectively helped rescue over 200,000 meals from the bin in less than a year, and prevent over half a million kilograms of CO₂ emissions.

Food waste accounts for nearly 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and in Singapore over 2,200 tonnes of food is wasted every day. Against this backdrop, Yindii, Asia’s #1 sustainable food app, hosted the Yindii Eco-Brand Awards 2025 as part of Impact Week AT ONE, celebrating brands, media, and changemakers proving that sustainability and business success can go hand in hand.

The Awards recognized over 25 leading brands across hospitality, retail, and F&B, including Cedele, Paul, Délifrance, The Providore, So France, Little Farms, Edith Patisserie, Baker & Cook, Duke Bakery, Hjh Maimunah, Grand Hyatt Singapore, Holiday Inn Express, among others. Media outlets such as The Straits Times, CNA, Tamil Murasu Singapore, and Mothership were also recognized for amplifying the urgency of tackling food waste and inspiring consumer action.

Guest of Honour Ms. Poh Li San, Member of Parliament and Chairperson for the Government Parliamentary Committee for Environment and Sustainability, emphasized the importance of collective effort:

“Food waste is one of the most pressing sustainability challenges facing Singapore. With 800,000 tonnes wasted annually in a country that imports 90% of its food supply, reducing waste is not just an environmental issue but a matter of food security and resilience. Tackling this challenge requires strong collaboration between government, businesses, and communities — and initiatives like Yindii show that practical, scalable solutions exist.”

Since launching in Singapore just a year ago, Yindii has enabled food businesses to recover over SGD 1.5 million from avoided food loss. On average, food businesses using Yindii clear between 75% and 99% of their surplus food through the app — directly reducing wastage, avoiding financial losses, and increasing profitability.  

“These Awards are not a competition — they are a statement,” said Mahima Rajangam Natarajan, Co-Founder of Yindii. “Every meal rescued through Yindii is a step toward making Singapore’s high-quality food more accessible and affordable for everyone. We’re proving that sustainability and affordability can go hand-in-hand with social equity.”

The Yindii Eco-Brand Awards 2025 were a featured event of Impact Week @ ONE, Singapore’s largest sustainability platform, hosted by Eco-Business in partnership with Temasek’s Tsao Pao Chee, bringing together government leaders, businesses, innovators, and communities to accelerate Asia’s green transition. The Yindii Awards will return in 2026 with an expanded platform, uniting even more partners in the fight against food waste.

XREX Taiwan Secures Key Regulatory Approval from Taiwan’s FSC, Pioneering a New Era of Regulated Virtual Asset Services

TAIPEI, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — XREX Taiwan, a subsidiary of XREX Group and a leading virtual asset service provider, has been officially approved for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) registration by the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB) under Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC). This approval positions XREX Taiwan as one of the first nine Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) to navigate the nation’s stringent new regulatory framework successfully.

XREX Taiwan, a subsidiary of XREX Group, is among nine VASPs approved for AML registration by Taiwan’s FSC.
XREX Taiwan, a subsidiary of XREX Group, is among nine VASPs approved for AML registration by Taiwan’s FSC.

Following rigorous audit and review, the FSC has authorized XREX Taiwan to operate across all four core business categories defined by Taiwan’s new regulatory framework: 1) virtual asset exchange operations, 2) virtual asset trading platform services, 3) virtual asset transfer services, and 4) virtual asset custody services.

XREX Taiwan’s success is a culmination of its proactive approach to regulatory alignment. The company first completed its AML compliance declaration with the FSC in March 2022, demonstrating a commitment to responsible operation well before the new statutory framework was introduced. This track record of foresight and diligence ensures XREX Taiwan is well-equipped to uphold the highest standards of security, consumer protection, and operational excellence as required by the new regime.

Pursuant to the amendment to Taiwan’s Money Laundering Control Act in July 2024, which established a statutory registration requirement for VASPs and marked a paradigm shift for the industry, the FSC introduced and enforced new AML registration regulations effective November 30, 2024.

Under the regime, VASPs are required to complete registration before conducting regulated activities. Violations of these new regulations carry severe penalties, including imprisonment for up to two years and fines of up to NT$5 million for individuals, or up to NT$50 million for legal entities.

“This milestone advances user protection and market integrity in Taiwan and offers a constructive reference for other regulators,” said Wayne Huang, Co‑founder and CEO of XREX Group. “Our focus is clear: protect users, work with peers, and help build a more mature, resilient digital‑asset ecosystem worldwide.”

This milestone in Taiwan complements the XREX Group’s global regulatory footprint. Its Singaporean entity holds a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), operating the B2B stablecoin-first cross-border payment platform, XREX Pay.

LiberNovo North American Pre-Sales Now Live with the First Dynamic Ergonomic Chair

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — LiberNovo, a design-driven brand redefining modern sitting, announced today that pre-sales are officially open for the LiberNovo Omni on its North American DTC website. The launch comes just weeks after Omni concluded its Kickstarter campaign as the highest-funded ergonomic office chair in Kickstarter history. This milestone signals strong demand for a new solution to sitting and modern work life.

From September 23 at 7:00 PM PDT through October 20 at 7:00 PM PDT, U.S. and Canadian customers can reserve Omni with an exclusive 5% new-customer discount (available in limited quantities) and a complimentary gift pack including an eye mask, eco-bag, and foot cushion. Shipping begins October 20 at 7:00 PM PDT (U.S. time).

Additionally, the highly anticipated Cooling Cushion will launch on September 23 with a 25% discount, with shipping scheduled to begin on October 1.

Why Omni Made History on Kickstarter

Launched in June, the LiberNovo Omni campaign didn’t just meet expectations — it smashed records. Backers responded en masse to a design that provided a modern solution to a modern problem: the toll of long hours of sitting.

The average American adult now spends 9.5 hours a day sitting, often in so-called “ergonomic” chairs that lock the body into a single, rigid posture. This combination of prolonged stillness and restricted movement is taking a measurable toll: higher rates of clinical spinal misalignment, chronic muscle fatigue, slower circulation, and even reduced breathing efficiency and digestive function.

Omni was designed to reduce the risks that everyday creators face in the pursuit of creativity and ambition.

“Our mission has always been to harness innovation and technology to create environments that set people free — even in how they sit,” said Alex Yan, LiberNovo Founder & CEO.

A Chair That Adapts Like No Other

At the core of Omni’s innovation is its Dynamic Support System, which automatically adjusts to match your body’s micro-movements as you shift throughout the day.

  • Bionic FlexFit Backrest — Engineered with 16 precision joints and 8 adaptive panels to mirror the spine’s natural S-curve, delivering gapless, contour-hugging support in any position.
  • Four Intelligent Recline Modes:
    • 105° Deep Focus: Upright, alert, and stable posture for presentations and calls
    • 120° Solo-Work: Balanced support for extended focus
    • 135° Soft Recline: Relaxed recline for gaming or streaming
    • 160° Spine Flow: Active recovery makes this the best ergonomic chair for back pain
  • High Adjustability — 4D armrests, 3D neck support, adjustable seat height, and four recline angles
  • Optional Footrest — making it a true ergonomic office chair with footrest for maximum comfort
  • Spinal Decompression — Relieves stiffness and re-aligns posture mid-day

Designed for Real Life

Whether it’s gaming late into the night, coding for hours, editing a video, or hopping on back-to-back client calls, Omni maintains full-body alignment without forcing you into any one “correct” way of sitting. Its SyncroLink mechanism keeps the seat, back, and armrests moving together, so you never lose support mid-motion.

Independent reviewers and Kickstarter backers alike have praised Omni’s ability to reduce fatigue, boost focus, and make long sessions — work or play — far more sustainable. It’s even been dubbed the “Best Ergonomic Chair of 2025”. And with the new Cooling Seat Cushion, you can extend Omni’s comfort to every seat, adding portable cooling relief and pressure reduction wherever you work or play.
