Mattress Testing by 10:PM Reveals Ultra Ick Findings SYDNEY, March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- 30% of the weight of a mattress is made of dried epidermis particles, from your skin and that of anyone else who has ever been on your bed. This is just one finding from new eco Aussie mattress brand, 10:PM who tested some of the 1.8 million mattresses that are illegally dumped on our streets every year. In a quest to showcase what Aussies are sleeping on and to encourage people to change their mattress more regularly, Harrison Reid, well known Bondi Lifeguard and founder of 10:PM, engaged building biologists to scour Sydney streets and test a bunch of dumped mattresses. The findings reveal that many of us are literally sleeping on a petri dish every night – some of us sleeping ourselves sick, without even realising it. This will make your skin crawl… We spend around 26 years on our mattresses and shed around 200 millilitres of water and one teaspoon of skin every night. That's around 2,000 litres of liquid and 200 cups of skin heading straight into our mattresses over our lifetime – from just one person! Further to that, given dust mites feed off skin cells (and even semen), it shouldn't surprise you that there are around 12 million dust mites in the average mattress. When you consider the skin cells and dust mites, semen, urine, blood and mould and you might start to look at your comfy bed a little differently. The result is clear – change your mattress you filthy animals! "The beds we tested, we're guessing from the filth found on them, that they'd be well over 10 years old," says Reid. "We should be replacing our mattresses a lot sooner, around every 7 years, 10 at worst. We wanted to show people exactly what they're sleeping on to encourage them to think about ditching that mattress they got handed down from Mum and Dad or have had since their uni days. We found some pretty gross things on the mattresses we tested." And Reid would know, having grown up around the mattress business of his parents in New Zealand. "Through various tests, including surface mould samples, UV light fluid tests, and dust mite and debris extraction tests, we found millions of dust mites, urine, semen, blood and mould," says Nicole Bijlsma, Building Biologist and founder of Australian College of Environmental Studies. "These can cause health issues ranging from itchy and watery eyes, sneezing, itchy, runny or blocked nose, dry persistent cough, wheezing and eczema. Symptoms are likely to be worse at night and upon waking, and generally improve when away from the source." "It's important people know the potential health implications that sleeping on an old mattress can perpetuate. All the mattresses we tested were way past their use by date." According to Carol Parr, Building Biologist, in severe cases, mould and allergens in mattresses can result in trouble sleeping, leading to brain fog and even effects on cognitive function. Reid says that the findings reveal the shocking truth around mattress quality. "People change their bedding but forget to change their mattress. It's a bit of a case of out of sight, out of mind and given we literally can't see the germs and allergens on our mattress, we tend to not even think about it." What's more, it seems that those of us diligent in making our bed every day, may be doing ourselves a disservice. "Mattresses need to be aired. When we make them every day, we're actually increasing the likelihood of capturing moisture, which leads to mould and bacteria growth, and dust mites," says Reid. Passionate about showcasing what lurks beneath the sheets, 10:PM used these dumped mattresses as billboards to humourously tap into Sydney suburb stereotypes to create buzz and start the conversation around mattress health. In dog-centric areas, they've reminded pet owners their mattress is dog-eared, dog-clawed, dog-gnawed, dog-drooled and dog-flea-infested. In family friendly Randwick, the mattress unveils a tapestry of parental defeat with a wee-soaked bed and in Bondi, they've let backpackers know that there's been a very sunburnt Englishmen on that bunk bed before them! The Darlinghurst set, post World Pride, have been warned that after her 10th Mardi Gras, their Queen has come out on bottom. "Using these dumped mattresses to test and then as billboards, has been such a fantastic way to not only talk seriously about the importance of mattress care and health but it's also given us a platform to speak to Sydneysiders in a way that's funny but very relatable," says Reid. "At the end of the day, if we can get people thinking about how old their mattress is and what they might be sleeping on, then that's a really positive thing." You can read the full Billbeds here. These findings are exactly why Reid started 10:PM - to give Aussies access to mattresses which are Australian made, sustainable, affordable, family owned, extremely comfortable and with health and wellness front of mind. With a 40-year family legacy in the mattress business, 10:PM is in Harrison's DNA, having watched his dad, Kevin in the NZ mattress business for decades, and now bringing their combined knowledge to 10:PM, created for Australians. Each 10:PM mattress is antimicrobial treated to prevent microbe growth, reduce odour, improve hygiene and product longevity and approved by Sensitive Choice so those with asthma and allergies can rest easy. With sustainability also at its core, Tencel is used which is produced by environmentally responsible processes and 10:PM mattress and pillow foam has been assessed to meet environmental, human health and social impact, while also proving that it performs as promised. Australian made for Australians is what 10:PM lives, breathes and sleeps. Everything is made right here in Australia with Aussie comfort front of mind. While affordability is important, but also temperature management, with its 10:02 and 10:03 mattresses having Thermobalance technology, which disperses heat and hot spots from you mattress when you sleep. No other mattress in a box brand has this technology. 10:PM's mattresses come in three models, the 10:01, 10:02, and 10:03, and in single, double, queen, and king sizes starting at $649 for a single. Accessories including mattress protectors and pillows start at $169. 10:PM is available for delivery to Sydney metro only. Delivery Australia wide is coming soon.

Key Points: 1) Five of GOLDWINS's brands simultaneously announced collections using Brewed Protein™️ fiber. 2) Eight years after the start of joint development with Spiber, the company has finally achieved sales expansion under a mass production system. 3) Products using Brewed Protein™️ fiber, a new next-generation material originating in Japan that is expected to provide a new solution to various environmental issues, will be available globally this fall. TOKYO, March 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- GOLDWIN INC. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Takao Watanabe; hereafter "GOLDWIN") announces the launch of its Fall/Winter 2023 collection of five brands simultaneously using the structural protein material Brewed Protein™️ fiber, which has been jointly developed with Spiber Corporation (Headquarters: Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture; Director and Representative Executive Officer: Kazuhide Sekiyama; hereafter "Spiber") since 2015. Goldwin This collection will be the first to be sold on a larger scale under a mass production system and will be available globally starting this fall. Aiming to improve various environmental issues surrounding the apparel industry, we have been working with Spiber since 2015 on the joint development of structural protein materials for deployment in apparel products. The first product developed using Brewed Protein™️ fiber was the Planetary Equilibrium Tee, a T-shirt released by The North Face in August 2019. In November 2020, we launched the knitwear The Sweater from our original brand Goldwin. And last fall, we launched a shell jacket and fleece from Goldwin's project Goldwin 0". We also launched a denim jacket and pants in March this year. Until now, all products were sold in limited quantities by lottery due to the limited production of Brewed Protein™️ fiber. With mass production of Brewed Protein™️ polymer at Spiber's Thailand plant beginning in early 2022—8 years after the start of the joint development initiative between Goldwin and Spiber—we have now achieved the first-ever mass production of Brewed Protein™️ fiber. After many years of joint development, five brands—The North Face, Goldwin, nanamica, The North Face Purple Label, and Woolrich—have all launched products featuring Brewed Protein™ fibers at the same time. The North Face Purple Label's Sierra Parka is a modern update of the Nuptse Jacket, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, and The North Face Purple Label's masterpiece, which can be considered the prototype for outdoor down parkas. Goldwin offers the Cross-Field 3L Jacket with its roots in ski wear, while Woolrich offers the brand's iconic Future Arctic Parka that debuted in 1972. Each of the five brands have taken advantage of the completed design of their iconic staples to create the Balmacaan Coat, which combines classic tailoring and detailing with functionality. Brewed Protein™️ fiber is used to create new value and possibilities. The North Face offers the Nuptse Jacket, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, and PURPLE LABEL's Sierra Parka, a modern update of the original outdoor down parka. Woolrich presented the brand's iconic Future Arctic Parka, which debuted in 1972, and nanamica presented the Balmacaan Coat, which combines classic tailoring and detailing with functionality. While leveraging the perfected designs of the iconic staples of each of the five brands, the brands aim to create new value and possibilities by adopting Brewed Protein™️ materials. Goldwin and nanamica, which are expanding overseas, are also sold at directly managed overseas stores. In addition, for The North Face and Woolrich, we plan to collaborate with overseas operators for global sales, and we will update information on our product lineup as needed for the product launch this fall. In Japan, a pop-up store selling all products using Brewed Protein™️ fiber is scheduled to open in the Marunouchi Building in September 2023. We have set an activity goal of shifting 10% of our newly developed products to those using Brewed Protein™️ by 2030. Through this joint development, we will rethink the relationship between nature and humans, and continue to consider a completely new way of using materials, products, and economics that combine functionality and environmental friendliness to a high degree. We believe that by designing and proposing sports apparel that will accompany future lifestyles in beautiful harmony with nature, we can make a significant contribution to the sustainable development of human society, and we will continue to pursue research and development in partnership with Spiber.

Spiber and Goldwin's joint development background Most sports apparel is made from synthetic molecular materials (polyester, nylon, etc.) manufactured from petroleum, and the impact of the final product on the natural environment due to microplastic emissions has become an issue. As a countermeasure to environmental issues, and in light of concerns about the depletion of petroleum, it is a great responsibility for us in today's society to switch to sustainable resources. To address these global-scale environmental issues, Goldwin began researching "structural protein materials" in collaboration with Spiber in 2015 and in the fall of 2015, announced a prototype outdoor jacket made of a structural protein material that mimics natural spider silk. In 2019, The North Face will release T-shirts and outdoor jackets exclusively in Japan using Brewed Protein™ fiber, a structural protein material newly developed by Spiber in response to challenges and product quality requirements. Since then, a variety of apparel products such as knitwear and fleece have also been launched. About Spiber Inc. Spiber is a biotechnology venture established in Tsuruoka City, Yamagata Prefecture in 2007 that develops structural Brewed Protein™ materials by using plant-derived feedstocks as primary raw materials and is engaged in the development and production of next-generation new materials via microbial fermentation production technology. Spiber recently began production of Brewed Protein™ polymers at its first mass production plant in Thailand and is now building a new mass production facility in the U.S. in collaboration with ADM. Spiber website: https://spiber.inc/ Brand Introduction The North Face The North Face, founded in San Francisco in 1966, was initially a small manufacturer, but soon gained a reputation for reliability with the introduction of its sleeping bags. The company's "minimum temperature standard" label, which clearly stated the minimum temperature at which the sleeping bag could be used comfortably, was a big hit. This was at a time when the Vietnam War was still raging. The counterculture against the existing values and society centered on material civilization was flourishing. Young people with keen sensibilities leave the city and return to nature. Their energy resonated with The North Face's out-of-the-box style, and eventually, a backpacking boom was born. We are not trying to imitate nature but to create a new way of life for people. Not to imitate nature, but to coordinate the interplay of multiple principles and sensations present in nature to bring out new functions that have never been seen before. The North Face's mission is to pass on to the next generation the proper way to interact with nature, people and things. *Official website: https://www.goldwin.co.jp/tnf/ Goldwin Founded in 1951, GOLDWIN Inc.'s original brand Goldwin proposes products that combine minimalist design with rationality, comfort, and convenience, derived from its experience with skiing and the outdoors, as well as Japanese aesthetics. Since 2018, Goldwin has opened directly managed stores in Tokyo (Marunouchi and Harajuku), the United States (San Francisco), Germany (Munich), and China (Beijing), and is building a global base. *Official website: https://www.goldwin.co.jp/goldwin/ nanamica Taking "UTILITY" and "SPORTS" as key words, nanamica mixes fashion and functionality at a high level to offer "standard wear for the current age" with neutral design that transcends the boundaries of genre, age, or gender.

香港科研成果引進英國NHS 進駐英國戰略創新基地 引領科技前瞻研究 C-POLAR截殺高達 99.99% 病毒、細菌及霉菌，締造高效抗感染環境 香港2023年3月23日 /美通社/ -- C-POLAR Technologies 研發及提供其專利革命性防護技術，高效截殺病毒、細菌、霉菌等多種致命病原體，技術為香港科研成果。今天與其全資子公司 C-POLAR Ireland 宣布進駐英國諾森伯蘭 Seaton Delaval Plant Based Valley 的英國國民保健署 (NHS) 信託基金諾森比亞醫療製造及創新中心 (Northumbria Healthcare Manufacturing and Innovation Hub)。該設施將負責製造 C-POLAR™ 專利聚合物，並應用到現有和未來的產品當中，致力使這個香港科研成果進軍國際市場。 英國國民保健署信託基金諾森比亞醫療 (Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust) 創新總監Andrew Edmunds表示：「諾森比亞醫療致力為英國國民保健署 (NHS) 提供創新科研成果，保障醫護人員和病人的健康和福祉，同時為 NHS 帶來額外收入。我們與 C-POLAR Technologies 展開合作夥伴關係，將踏出重大一步，使我們能夠締造更安全的環境，從救護車到醫院病房，全程均保障病人免受病原體感染，同時為公共部門增加收入。」 C-POLAR Technologies 十分支持對公共衛生領域的再投資，並計劃把一大部份利潤與 NHS 分享，此舉將提供資金改善英國醫療護理服務。這種公私營合作在醫療領域上是獨一無二，將為政府和科研企業樹立行業新標準。 C-POLAR™ 聚合物源自 100% 全天然草本食品添加劑，不含毒性和金屬，並通過世界衛生組織 (WHO)和聯合國糧農組織 (UN FAO) 批核。 C-POLAR™ 為「陽極化矩陣」的英文縮寫，技術基於基礎物理學原理。C-POLAR™ 已通過美國、加拿大、捷克及香港17個頂尖學院的嚴謹測試，包括美國哈佛醫學院、美國明尼蘇達大學、加拿大英屬哥倫比亞大學、捷克科學院和香港都會大學等，並於美國、加拿大及香港 200 多個物業安裝及應用。當各種物料、紡織品及醫療器械應用 C-POLAR™ 聚合物後，其表面電荷會帶有穩定的正極性，可以在極短接觸時間甚至高速氣流下截殺病毒、細菌、霉菌及多種致命病原體。按此片段了解C-POLAR™ 專利技術背後的科學原理。 美國哈佛醫學院副教授兼美國麻省總醫院傳染病醫生 Dr. Michael Mansour 表示：「如果說我們從過去數年的經驗中學到了什麼，那就是雖然佩戴口罩和接種疫苗猶關重要，但是它們並不足以打破傳播鍊。許多常見和不常見的病原體均沒有相應的疫苗。總括而言，我們需要更具創意，利用創新的解決方法，中斷實際傳播，從而保護自己。」 C-POLAR Technologies 已開發30多種產品，包括個人防護裝備、口罩、空氣濾網、空氣淨化機、矽膠導尿管、家具（包括病房窗簾、床上用品、掛牆配件）、醫用手套、油漆及不同醫療器械。這龐大的產品組合，再加上未來無窮的潛力，讓 C-POLAR Technologies 能與多個 NHS 單位合作，以減低 NHS 醫護人員和病人的感染風險。 額外的新協議更將惠及NHS社群及更廣泛的社區： C-POLAR Technologies 正與 Tyneside Surgical Services (TSS) 合作，旨在為位於蓋茨黑德 (Gateshead) 的日間手術內窺鏡檢查和診斷部創造高效抗感染環境，並為NHS病人提供最佳體驗，整個療程均由專門的顧問醫生主導。TSS 創辦人兼董事總經理 Hamdy Ashour 表示：「這醫療設施將會是同類設施中的第一個。全面保護我們的醫護人員和病人免受進一步感染，並將醫療設施中通常感染的風險降低。」 C-POLAR Technologies 已授權 NHS 子公司 QE Facilities 生產 C-POLAR™ FFP3 口罩，以供應 NHS 及英國市場使用。C-POLAR™ FFP2、FFP3 和磁力共震專用 (MRI-Specific) 口罩已獲歐盟和英國認證。 C-POLAR Technologies 將與英國最大的紡織品製造商之一、總部位於曼徹斯特的 AMR Textiles Ltd. 達成新協議，創建專門的 C-POLAR™ 防護材料生產線，材料將用於過濾領域，例如口罩和空氣濾網，包括汽車和飛機濾網。AMR 還將生產 C-POLAR™ 各類紡織材料，用於窗簾、傢俱、建築、醫用防護衣以及從 NHS 一線救援人員到航空公司員工的制服。 關於 C-POLAR TechnologiesC-POLAR Technologies 是一家總部位於美國的國際性公司，在加拿大設有研發中心，在愛爾蘭和英國設有歐洲辦事署。C-POLAR™ 為「陽極化矩陣」的英文縮寫，技術基於基礎物理學原理。物料應用 C-POLAR™ 聚合物後，其表面電荷會帶有穩定的正極性，可以在極短接觸時間甚至高速氣流下截殺高達 99.99% 病毒、細菌、黴菌及多種致命病原體。C-POLAR™ 創造並實現未來高效抗感染環境，為政府、醫院、學校和私營企業定下嶄新的健康和安全標準。如要瞭解更多資訊，請瀏覽公司網站 cpolartechnologies.com。 關於 WEC Air Filtration Limited (WAF)WEC Air Filtration Limited (WAF) 是環球商務行政有限公司 (WEC) 的子公司，WEC 是一家提供全面物業管理解決方案的技術供應商。WAF 是 C-POLAR™ 空氣過濾技術在香港和澳門的獨家經銷商，並已在超過 100 個物業安裝及應用 C-POLAR™ 空氣濾網，包括香港會議展覽中心、香港科技園、香港浸會醫院、仲量聯行 (JLL)、香港置地、恒隆地產等。我們的目標是將這革命性防護技術應用至所有通風系統，創造並實現未來高效抗感染環境，保障社會健康和福祉。如要瞭解更多資訊，請瀏覽公司網站 wec.com.hk/waf。
