BEIJING, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China.org.cn on China's efforts on protecting glaciers:  What? China is “covering” glaciers with “blankets”? In China, at several thousand meters above sea level, a group of people are endeavoring to "cover" glaciers with "blankets." The story takes us back to August 2020, when a team of 20 were trudging across the glaciers, battling the fluffy snow, thin air, and the burdens of their backpacks weighing dozens of pounds, all of which made the journey even more grueling. The team was formed by experts from the State Key Laboratory of Cryospheric Sciences, Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), who were heading to Dagu Glacier No.17 in southwest China's Sichuan province. The relatively flat terrain and the accessible entry made the glacier an ideal choice for conducting the "blanket" experiment. This experiment actually sought to cover the glaciers with special heat-insulating and reflective materials, so that the surface of the ice underneath can be kept at a lower temperature, further slowing the melting of glaciers which had been accelerated by global warming. The topic has garnered more attention for the last 5 years, with experts conducting more research on it, and the material of the "blankets" being iterated. From geotextile to nanomaterial blankets, both have proven effective in alleviating the melting. Multiple research results show that the "blankets" can cut the glacier melting by 50% to 70% compared to the uncovered surface. In fact, China has begun its glacier-related research since the 1950s. Besides the "blanket" experiment, relevant researchers have also tried many other experiments in Dagu Glacier and glaciers in the Tianshan Mountain range in recent years, including cloud seeding and snowmaking, in a bid to slow down the melting of glaciers. Moreover, glacier protection has also been incorporated into the green development philosophy and policies in China. In 2023, a project named "Memory of Glaciers: Global Exploration Initiative" was launched at the China Pavilion of the COP28 climate change conference, with a more direct focus on the glacier-melting issue, and to raise public awareness on climate change. For humanity, the impact of melting glaciers is closer than we think. They act like a leaking tap that continuously pours melted water into the oceans, causing sea levels to rise year by year, and posing a mounting threat to people, especially low-lying coastal communities. Melting glaciers can also be viewed as a ticking time bomb — as glaciers become increasingly unstable, chances of natural disasters like large-scale ice avalanches, floods, and droughts will also surge. In short, when you are protecting glaciers, you are protecting humanity. The year 2025 has been declared the International Year of Glaciers' Preservation, and March 21 marks the first "World Day for Glaciers." The melting of glaciers is irreversible but raising awareness around preservation, and taking practical solutions to slow down the process, are what we are capable of and should be doing. Every bit of effort along the journey is like a snowflake, and when millions of snowflakes fall onto the glaciers, they form a soft "blanket" that protects them. "I hope that one day, people don't have to cover the glaciers, and they can be the way they are in nature's law," said Wang Feiteng, a glaciologist from Northwest Institute of Eco-Environment and Resources, CAS, who is also the captain of the "blanket" team.

ISTANBUL, March 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the world observes World Water Day on 22 March, with a spotlight on "Glacier Preservation," Beko reaffirms its commitment to addressing the urgent need for global water preservation for generations to come. Pointing out the significant impact that saving water and energy at home can have on both the environment and household finances, Beko, a company conscious of the crucial role water plays in the functioning of essential home appliances, is demonstrating its dedication to water-saving through innovation and sustainable practices. Hakan Bulgurlu, Beko, CEO Saving water has far-reaching benefits. Thanks to technological advancements, modern appliances now consume significantly less water than older models. In Europe for instance, in the late 1990s, washing machines required over 65 litres of water per cycle. By 2022, this had dropped to around 46 litres — a remarkable reduction. Similarly, dishwashers once used around 20 litres per cycle but now require less than 10 litres. These improvements offer consumers a meaningful way to reduce their environmental footprint while cutting utility costs. "The connection between glaciers and the water that flows through our homes is more direct than many people realise," says Hakan Bulgurlu, CEO of Beko. "Each drop of water saved in homes around the world contributes to our collective effort to address water scarcity, which is being dramatically worsened by glacier retreat due to climate change. The rapid melting of glaciers is a stark reminder of the interconnectedness of our planet." "As glaciers continue to retreat, the importance of each water-saving decision we make at home becomes magnified," adds Bulgurlu. "Through our innovations and commitments, we're working to ensure that future generations will have access to this vital resource." Innovative solutions for household water conservation Beko's ongoing investment in water-efficient technology is delivering measurable results for consumers. The company's water-saving appliances are designed to maintain exceptional performance while significantly reducing water and energy consumption. The SaveWater dishwasher uses just 6.9 litres of water for a full load. This innovative feature saves water from the last rinse phase in the dishwashing cycle, storing it hygienically and safely in the machine's specially designed water tank so it can be re-used in the beginning of the next wash, helping to save households 2.6 litres* of water with every wash using Eco program. Working in conjunction with the compatible Beko washing machine, the SaveWater tumble dryer collects up to 5.2 litres** of water during the drying cycle and feds this directly into the washing machine to be used in the next wash cycle. The AI-powered*** dishwasher automatically identifies the optimal settings for each load, removing the guesswork from choosing the most efficient program. SensorAdapt technology detects dirt levels and load amount, automatically adjusting to the ideal wash cycle for optimal results, saving up to 50%**** on energy, water, and time, while ensuring the dishes come out sparkling clean with ease. The AutoDose System in washing machines, enhanced with smart sensors, accurately measures load, fabric type and soil levels to optimize detergent use and reduce its water consumption. This system achieves a 25%***** reduction in water usage thanks to improved algorithm which detects load more precisely, as well as reduced water in the rinsing stage thanks to optimal dosing. Beko's approach extends beyond product innovation to encompass its entire operational footprint. Sustainable manufacturing: Beko is targeting a 25% reduction in manufacturing water withdrawal by 2040 from a 2024 base year. During the same period, the company also aims to increase its water recycling and reuse ratio to 35% in all manufacturing facilities. Climate action: In line with its 2050 net-zero target, Beko recognizes that protecting water resources is inseparable from addressing climate change. As part of its near-term objectives, the company is targeting a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions and a 42% cut in Scope 3 emissions from product use by 2030, compared to its 2022 baseline. For its long-term targets, Beko aims to slash its absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 90%, and absolute Scope 3 emissions by 90% in 2050, also compared to a 2022 base year, which are aligned with the 1.5°C climate scenario and validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). "Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and switching to renewable energy are crucial for glacier preservation, which is why we're also working towards 100% green electricity in our manufacturing by 2030 and have already achieved excellent progress," says Hakan Bulgurlu. Beko encourages individuals to make a difference by: Choosing water-efficient appliances Adopting water-saving habits at home Supporting organisations dedicated to glacier preservation and climate action This World Water Day, Beko reaffirms its dedication to glacier preservation, responsible water management, and collaborating towards a water-secure future for all. *The Dishwasher saves 2.6L of water per cycle on Eco program compared to similar Beko Dishwasher without the SaveWater Technology. ** Tumble dryer saves up to 5.2L of water per cycle for full load 10kg declaration programme.*** AI-powered dishwasher that detects dirt levels, and load amount, automatically adjusting to the ideal wash cycle.
