JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Singapore is among the highest plastic waste producers per capita in the Asia-Pacific region, generating approximately 87 kilograms of plastic waste per person annually. As environmental awareness grows, so does the demand for sustainable solutions to reduce waste and promote a circular economy. Recognizing packaging waste as a key issue, Singapore has implemented initiatives like the Green Plan 2030 and the Mandatory Packaging Reporting Act (2019) to encourage waste reduction and corporate responsibility. A YouGov poll in April 2024 found strong public support for banning single-use plastics, reinforcing the nation's commitment to sustainability. To address this demand, APP Group introduces Foopak Bio Natura, a biodegradable and compostable packaging solution designed for the Singaporean market. This product line offers eco-friendly alternatives, such as food containers and paper straws that maintain functionality while reducing plastic dependency. "The Singaporean government's push toward a circular economy aligns with our mission to provide sustainable solutions," said Ricca Windysari, Foopak SEA Regional Sales Head. "Foopak Bio Natura empowers businesses to support the Green Plan 2030 by reducing plastic waste and adopting eco-friendly packaging." As industries adapt to global sustainability trends, APP Group remains committed to innovation and responsible practices. Through Foopak Bio Natura, the company supports Singapore's waste reduction goals, helping businesses transition toward a greener, more sustainable future.

VIEREMÄ, Finland, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The PONSSE Greasing System is a new optional accessory for Ponsse harvester heads, designed for chainsaw lubrication. The system feeds grease to the chainsaw from screw-in grease cartridges according to the dosing settings made through the Opti5G information system. Grease cartridges stored in a warm place ensure effective lubrication throughout the work shift. "This is a solution that makes the workday of a forest machine operator easier, especially in cold weather. The grease cartridges replace the fixed grease tank in the harvester head, so you no longer need to pump cold grease from an external container to the harvester head's grease tank. The cartridge is quick and easy to replace. The cartridges are easy to transport and can be stored in car or cabin," says Toni Rajaniemi, Ponsse's project manager. The lubrication system can hold two 400-gram screw cartridges, which last approximately 8-16 hours, depending on the amount of sawing and dosing settings. The dosing settings can be adjusted from the Opti 5G information system according to the situation and need. The information system notifies the operator when it is time to change the cartridge. The grease cartridge is quick to change, so the machine's downtime is very short. The grease cartridge can be refilled. Ponsse's range includes grease cartridges suitable for various needs such as mineral oil-based grease or new biodegradable oil-based grease. The PONSSE Greasing System is currently available for all PONSSE H6, H7, and H8 harvester heads. The Greasing Systems can also be retrofitted.
