Preserving the beauty of nature – a bond that links Lancang-Mekong countries


CHENGDU CITY, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 November 2024 – Taking its source from the Zhaqu of Tanggula Mountain Range in northwest China’s Qinghai Province, the Lancang River, running through Qinghai Province, Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region and Yunnan Province, is the longest river flowing from north to south in China.

Following an award ceremony for the “Lancang-Mekong Impression” Short Video Contest and a media exchange event recently held in southwest China’s Xizang (Tibet) Autonomous Region, media representatives from six Lancang-Mekong countries, including China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, gathered in Lancang River where Zhaqu and Angqu rivers meet in Changdu City.

In the Xizang language, Changdu means the place where rivers merge into one. Witnessing China’s enhanced efforts on ecological environment protection and the launch of the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) mechanism, Baqiong, the first-prize winner of the “Lancang-Mekong Impression” Short Video Contest said that he has seen the changes in the Lancang River over the years.

“In my impression, the water in Changdu is getting clearer, and the ecological environment has been increasingly enhanced. People’s awareness of environmental protection has also been raised. The water has become more lucid, the mountains lusher, and the scenery more picturesque,” Baqiong said.

Anucha Charoenpo, vice president of Thai Journalists Association and editor of Bangkok Post, said it was the first time that he has come to Xizang, and he was impressed by the environmental protection results. “I notice that they built something (in Changdu) to protect the landslide, and to protect the stones falling from the mountain into the ground. I feel that authorities and your people worked hard to protect the environment and society. I think it means that people who are living here must have a happy life because they can spend time living by the river,” he said.

Changdu City, with abundant forest resources, has an area of 5.01 million hectares of forest land, ranking second in the region.

“I’m deeply impressed by the environment, humanistic and cultural resources, and ecological protection here. Now I’m standing at the source of the Lancang River, and I can see the clear water here, which has been well protected by local people and the local government,” according to Han Haoyin, director of content at TNAOT.

“First of all, the river looks crystal clear to the naked eye, and I learned that the local government has made a lot of efforts in ecological protection. This is the upper reaches of the Lancang River, and it needs to be preserved,” a content creator named Wu Siyao said during the media event.

Over the past eight years since the launch of the LMC mechanism, it has continued to promote exchanges and cooperation among the countries in the region.

“What I feel most when I came to the Lancang River today is that the tributaries converge to form a river, just like the six Lancang-Mekong countries converging together and working together to create a better future, ” according to Liao Lipan, editor at ASEAN branch of The Wallstreet Herald.

The “Lancang-Mekong Impression” Short Video Contest, organized by China News Service, has enhanced mutual understanding and promoted friendly exchanges among the people of the six countries through a variety of media events.

“The short video contest is a starting point to gain participation from people in GMS countries, pay more attention to the beauty of the nature that we have, and try to keep and help preserve the beauty of nature,” Anucha Charoenpo said.

As the Lancang-Mekong countries gathered to explore how to showcase the vitality of Lancang-Mekong cooperation, Han Haoyin pointed out that the six countries need to make joint efforts to maintain the water system, and work jointly to preserve the water as it is a bond that links the six countries in the fields of economy, people-to-people and life exchanges.

Founded by visionary entrepreneur Henry Sy, Sr., SM Investments began as a small shoe store in 1958 and has since grown into a conglomerate that significantly contributes to economic development in the Philippines. With a workforce of over 130,000 employees and millions of customers served daily, SM Investments operates across retail, property, banking, and portfolio investments. As a key player in the Philippine economy, the company places a strong emphasis on sustainability, ensuring that its growth drives positive change for society and the environment.

At the core of SM Investments’ strategy is a vision to create a sustainable ecosystem of businesses that drive responsible development in the communities it serves. The company’s sustainability framework focuses on three key pillars: environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and sound corporate governance. This integrated approach ensures that SM Investments’ operations align with the goals of delivering sustainable outcomes for its stakeholders, including employees, customers, communities, and shareholders. By embedding these principles into every business decision, SM Investments continuously adapts its practices to benefit society and protect natural resources, ensuring its role as a responsible corporate leader.

Focusing on professionalization, accountability, sustainability and transparency, SM Investments has been raising the bar on good corporate governance whilst promoting independent judgment and independent leadership. Recently, the company moved to increase the size of its board to give more than majority, five out of nine seats, to independent directors. SM Investments practices good corporate governance in all its dealings with all stakeholders, investors, business partners, creditors, customers and employees because it believes that good corporate governance will provide long-term growth, sustainability and success.

SM Investments goes beyond compliance in its environmental initiatives, focusing on biodiversity conservation and the protection of natural habitats. Through its property arm, SM Prime, the company has established and manages three marine protected areas and protects 24 hectares of mangroves. These efforts not only preserve natural ecosystems but also support the surrounding communities that depend on these habitats. Furthermore, SM’s “Grow a Million Trees Program” in partnership with Uniqlo demonstrates its dedication to reforestation, contributing to carbon sequestration, flood mitigation, and the restoration of ecosystems.

As a strong advocate for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), SM Investments has integrated over 100,000 MSMEs into its supply chain. This initiative provides MSMEs with essential resources, including access to financing, market opportunities, and mentorship, helping them overcome barriers to growth. By supporting local entrepreneurs, SM Investments promotes a more resilient and inclusive economy that benefits both small businesses and the broader community.

SM Investments believes in the importance of workplace diversity and inclusivity. With 58% of leadership roles held by women, the company actively promotes gender equality within its workforce. In 2023, SM introduced a comprehensive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) framework to foster a culture of respect, integrity, and collaboration. This policy ensures that all employees are given equal opportunities for growth and that their contributions are valued, creating a supportive environment where each individual can thrive.

SepPure Cuts Emissions and Costs with Solvent Recovery Technology


NEW YORK, US – Media OutReach Newswire – 26 November 2024 – From pharmaceutical manufacturing to petrochemical refinement, many industries utilize solvents for various processes, such as synthesis, extraction, purification, and more. Nevertheless, the conventional method across industries involves extensive solvent use followed by their disposal, often through incineration. This creates a never-ending cycle of vast chemical consumption that leads to significant waste streams, contributing to environmental pollution and high operational costs. According to Nature, the environmental impacts of these processes are often overlooked but significant. They contribute to 10% of the global CO2 emissions, millions of liters of wastewater, and consume 10% of the world’s total energy and 40% of industrial energy. SepPure Technologies, a Cleantech startup pioneering innovative nanofiltration membrane technology, offers a sustainable solvent recovery solution that revolutionizes industrial practices.

SepPure Cuts Emissions and Costs with Solvent Recovery Technology
SepPure Cuts Emissions and Costs with Solvent Recovery Technology

The world’s biggest industries, including pharmaceutical, petrochemical, semiconductor, performance materials, specialty chemicals, and many more, continue to rely heavily on the resource-intensive process of utilizing solvents for industrial processes. These industries tend to offload their spent solvents after a single use through toxic industrial waste collectors. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), at least half of this solvent waste is incinerated, contributing to significant Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and resource depletion.

The industrial sector is the third largest producer of direct Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in the United States. In 2022, global CO2 emissions related to energy and industrial processes rose to an all-time high of 36.8 gigatons. To address this urgent problem, the EPA urges industries to explore more resource-efficient processes and recommend the application of nanofiltration membrane technology as a potential solution.

SepPure’s solvent recovery system, RE(SOLV)®, leverages the cutting-edge GreenMem® Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN) membrane technology, which can recover as much as 90% of spent solvents. This makes the process 90% more energy-efficient and 50% more economical compared to conventional solvent recovery methods that use distillation. This system substantially reduces waste and the endless need for fresh solvents for industrial use and applications. Dr. Mohammad Farahani, Founder and CEO of SepPure Technologies says, “RE(SOLV)® offers a sustainable solution for industrial processes. By using advanced nanofiltration technology, this system can recover solvents efficiently to produce high-quality reclaimed solvents that can be reused repeatedly.”

The United States Department of Energy highlights that alternative, more energy-efficient methods for the separation of chemicals in the United States alone could save 100 million tonnes of CO2 emissions and US$4 billion in energy costs annually. SepPure’s RE(SOLV)® technology is highly adaptable for various types of solvents, making it applicable across a wide range of sectors. Dr. Hafiiz Osman, COO at SepPure Technologies, further notes, “RE(SOLV)® presents significant cost reduction for a lot of companies, especially industries that rely on solvents in their day-to-day operations. Recycling and reusing solvents cut the expenses on raw materials and waste disposal, which lead to an overall reduction in the cost of operations.”

Recognizing the substantial environmental impact of such industrial processes, Dr. Mohammad Farahani perfected the technology during his PhD at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Determined to leverage his 10 years of industrial experience, Dr. Farahani later established SepPure Technologies. “The energy savings and reduction in environmental emissions will enable major players in oil manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals to become more sustainable while simultaneously lowering their operational costs,” says Dr. Farahani.

The world will reach a turning point for global sustainability commitments in a few short years. To meet net-zero carbon emission goals by 2050, quick but effective action must be taken to mitigate environmental pollution. The United Nations notes that carbon emissions must be reduced by 45% by 2030 to stay in line with the 1.5C global warming target set in the Paris Agreement. SepPure Technologies and other disruptive pioneers are offering environmentally sound and economically viable solutions with substantial potential worth exploring. As the company continues enhancing its solvent recovery technology, the team remains committed to its mission of environmental stewardship, reducing waste, and empowering a circular economy.Hashtag: #SepPureTechnologies
