Seagrasses are flowering plants that live in shallow sheltered areas along our coast. These sensitive plants are different from seaweed and form bright green leaves.
The Swedish electric car maker Polestar will provide battery and charging systems for Candela’s highly efficient flying boats. The battery deal will enable Candela to scale up production swiftly, bringing mass-market electric boats one step closer to reality.
The world’s fastest electric ship, the Candela P-12 Shuttle, is set to hit Stockholm’s waters next year, heralding a new era of transport. The innovative hydrofoiling electric ferry will reduce emissions and slash commuting times – and the city believes it will make waterborne public transport more attractive than trains, buses, and cars.
A “battery megatrend” has been gathering force for years on a global scale, first in electronic devices with the maturing of Li-ion battery technology and then in large devices such as automobiles. It’s part of a huge global effort to increase sustainability and reduce CO2 emissions.
UPM Raflatac is the first company in the world to invest in Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) as a label raw material for its new Ocean Action labels. The use of Ocean Bound Plastic for the Ocean Action labels is based on a mass balance approach. Ocean Bound Plastic is plastic waste from areas up to 50 km inland from waterways and thus defined by the OBPCert certification programme as "potential waste that may enter the sea". This new innovative label material is made possible through close collaboration with several partners along the product's value chain.
