Over 260 brands from 25 countries and regions participated in the four-day event, attracting over 10,000 buyers from 91 countries and regions. Buyer participation from the UK, Mainland China, India and Indonesia recorded a significant increase, further strengthening Hong Kong’s role as Asia’s fashion hub and a centre for East‑West cultural exchange.CENTRESTAGE and Salon de TIME, the HKTDC’s concurrent fashion event, were fully open to the public free of charge. The public count for the events exceeded 19,000 visits, successfully assisting exhibitors in expanding their customer base and helping to promote the development of the creative sector.Sophia Chong, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “Over the past decade, CENTRESTAGE has become an essential trade and exchange platform for local, Asian and international fashion brands. This year’s fair set records in terms of scale and internationalisation, bringing together a wide range of globally renowned design brands which participated for the first time, including Saul Nash from the UK, HENRIK VIBSKOV from Denmark and THE NERDYS from Japan. Internationally acclaimed couturier Guo Pei and world-renowned fashion legend Professor Jimmy Choo OBE also appeared at CENTRESTAGE to host inspiring sharing sessions. The event successfully attracted prominent local and overseas buyers, including leading retailers and procurement groups such as Machine-A from the UK, Sugar Srl from Italy, Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores from Japan, Zalora from Indonesia and ESSX. from the United States, as well as helping local brands expand internationally and highlighting Hong Kong’s unique appeal as Asia’s fashion hub.”Over 55% respondents expect sales growth; emerging markets seen as keyThe HKTDC conducted a survey during the fair, interviewing more than 400 exhibitors and buyers to gauge their views on product trends and the outlook for the fashion industry. The survey revealed that 56% of respondents expect sales to increase over the next 12 to 24 months, while 40% anticipate that sales will remain unchanged, reflecting an optimistic stance towards the industry’s sales landscape.Respondents also identified key challenges such as fluctuations in the global economy (44%) and keen competition within the industry (40%).

The newly launched Accessories zone highlighted functional yet stylish accessory ranges in response to market demand. The survey revealed that, same as last year, fashion accessories were seen by respondents as having the greatest growth potential among fashion product categories in major sales markets (36%).Cross-cultural craftsmanship has also emerged as a rising design trend. This year’s fair not only presented selected pieces from internationally acclaimed couturier Guo Pei’s entirely hand‑crafted collection “Gilternity: An Everlasting Radiance”, but also brought together brands from diverse cultural backgrounds, showcasing fashion works that blend traditional techniques such as embroidery, weaving and tie-dyeing.

Designer Imellda Ho said this year marks her first participation at CENTRESTAGE under her own brand name, and that the fair reflected the HKTDC's international vision. “The team even anticipated needs I hadn't considered. This 'thinking beyond the designer' support is exactly what independent brands need most,” she said. Ms Ho added that although the custom headwear market is relatively small, the fair offers opportunities for brands to expand into overseas markets. She commended the HKTDC for equipping designers with hands-on styling workshops and expert-led brand development support, representing “irreplaceable value for independent designers”.Buyers from around the world were drawn to the fair, praising its global brand appeal and diverse product offerings. Many expressed strong interest in the distinctive creativity of Hong Kong designers. Marianna Kuvvet, Brand Director of Tomorrow Ltd, a brand accelerator, said: “This was my first time attending CENTRESTAGE. What stood out to me most was the calibre of local talent.” Stavros Karelis, Founder and Buying Director at Machine-A, a UK-based concept store, said that CENTRESTAGE is proven to be an exciting platform for new talent, while providing international buyers with a valuable gateway to explore the pulse of Asia’s vibrant and diverse market. “I was particularly impressed by local Hong Kong designers and brands, such as WEN PAN and Kinyan Lam from Genau Studio. The fair beautifully captured the fusion of local and global design talents,” he said. Despite it being his inaugural visit to CENTRESTAGE, Mr Karelis allocated a specific budget to acquire standout designs discovered at the fair, underscoring its importance as an influential global fashion platform.Spectacular fashion shows with international designers dazzle audiencesSome 50 fashion shows and events were staged during the fair.

Primorsky Krai, Russia，2025年9月6日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 9月5日，由俄罗斯国家中心组织的"互联互通投资"主题开放对话专家会议在滨海边疆区俄罗斯国家中心分部举行。来自世界各国的专家们参与了"新现实中贸易和互联互通的转型"讨论。此次会议是2025年4月在俄罗斯国家中心举行的开放对话"世界的未来：全球增长新平台"的延续。开放对话会议主持人、俄罗斯联邦总统办公厅副主任马克西姆-奥列什金在开场讨论中指出，金砖国家和全球南方国家如今在世界贸易新解决方案中发挥着主导作用。这位副主任表示，新的大趋势是可持续且不可逆转的。旧架构中的机构正变得无关紧要。"我们确实已经拥有一切：新的全球经济现实和技术，以形成新的世界贸易架构。它不是取代旧机构和贸易路线，而是补充它们。这是一个重要的观察，因为我们几天前刚从中国返回，那里举行了具有里程碑意义的上合组织峰会。这次活动的主基调，实际上是唯一的基调，就是积极发展的基调，"马克西姆-奥列什金强调说。TALAP应用研究中心首席经济学家拉希姆-奥沙克巴耶夫认为，对俄罗斯施加的巨大制裁刺激了创新，并培养了抗脆弱性这一重要品质。"结果是显而易见的，它不仅让外部观察者惊讶，甚至让俄罗斯经济学家也感到惊讶--俄罗斯经济通过经济政策、公共管理和私人倡议的结合，能够展现出如此强大的韧性，"拉希姆-奥沙克巴耶夫说。俄罗斯联邦总统办公厅副主任马克西姆-奥列什金也注意到了制裁和贸易限制的积极影响。"我认为，对制裁和贸易限制这种积极有利影响的认识，是中国和印度等大型经济体现在开始感受到的。我认为，随着时间的推移，全球多数国家中的每个国家都会要求对其实施制裁，看到这个过程带来的积极效果，"他说。北京恒策投资咨询有限公司（中国）创始人简连指出了另一个重要趋势--向本国货币的转变。"存在着巨大的人力资源和劳动力市场。我们中国计划从埃塞俄比亚吸引劳动力。我们现在正与俄罗斯合作，基于中国在技术发展方面的成就，努力实施这个项目。我们必须用卢布进行所有结算，这一点尤为重要，因为迄今为止，美元一直是埃塞俄比亚的主要储备货币。现在正在向本国货币过渡。因此，我们正在创造提高经济效率的新条件，并通过和平手段实现这一目标，"简连说。俄罗斯国家原子能公司物流总经理、远东航运公司总经理彼得-伊万诺夫认为，船队在互联互通问题中发挥着主导作用。"今天，谈到国际贸易的发展和确保互联互通，我们明白，正如彼得大帝所说，'谁拥有舰队，谁就有两只手'。当许多控制着80%国际贸易的国际公司和联盟离开俄罗斯，运费增长了10倍时，我们感受到了这一点，这打击了互联互通和国际贸易。因此，重视自己的船队是国际贸易稳定的基础。那些重视这一点的国家将始终有能力确保进出口沟通。我们现在也在走这条路，"彼得-伊万诺夫指出。Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/gowithRussiaVK: https://vk.com/gowithrussiaok.ru: https://ok.ru/gowithrussiaDZen: https://dzen.ru/gowithrussiaMedia contactBrand: Russia National CenterContact: Media teamEmail: pressa@russia.ruWebsite: https://russia.ru/ Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

KualaLumpur, Sep 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – CBL International Limited (NASDAQ: BANL) (the “Company” or “CBL”), the listing vehicle of the Banle Group (“Banle” or “the Group”), a leading marine fuel logistics company in the Asia-Pacific region, has announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 on September 2, 2025.1H 2025 Financial and Operational Highlights- Revenue of $265.17 million, reflecting resilient performance in a volatile macro environment.- Sales volume increased by 9.8%, driven by network expansion, new customer acquisitions, and expansion toward the non-container liner and biofuel segments.- Gross profit margin increased to 1.02% in 1H2025, reflecting the Company's strategic approach to maintaining profitability while growing market share in a competitive environment.- Net loss narrowed by 38.8% year-on-year to $992,000, demonstrating improved cost control and operating efficiency.- Biofuel sales surged 154.7%, driven by accelerating adoption of sustainable marine fuels under IMO 2023 and EU FuelEU Maritime regulations.- Global network expanded to 65 ports, strengthening CBL’s role as a global one-stop marine fuel logistics platform.- Cash balance of $5.43 million and $50 million committed banking facilities provide strong financial flexibility to support growth and shareholder value.Financial Performance OverviewThe Company reported consolidated revenue of $265.17 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a 4.4% decrease from $277.23 million in the same period of 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in the marine fuel price which was partially offset by the increase in the sales volume. The increase in sales volume was mainly driven by network expansion, new customer acquisitions, and expansion toward the non-container liner and biofuel segments. Furthermore, the Group’s network demonstrated the Group’s resilience to geopolitical impacts on the marine industry.Gross profit remained stable at $2.71 million with an increase in sales volume to cope with the challenging competition in the market, while gross profit margin increased from 0.98% in 1H2024 to 1.02% in 1H2025. This margin expansion reflects the Company's strategic approach to maintaining profitability while growing market share in a competitive environment.The Company reported a net loss of $992,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a significant 38.8% improvement compared to a net loss of $1.62 million in the same period of 2024, primarily driven by disciplined cost management and operational efficiency initiatives that reduced operating expenses by 17% to $3.42 million from $4.12 million in 1H 2024.Cash and cash equivalents stood at $5.43 million as of June 30, 2025, supported by improved working capital management and expanded banking facilities of $50.0 million, providing enhanced financial flexibility for growth initiatives.Strategic Expansion and Operational ExcellenceCBL's operational expansion continued to be a key growth driver, with the Company's global service network reaching 65 ports by June 30, 2025, strategically positioned across Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa, and Central America. This expansion enabled CBL to effectively navigate geopolitical disruptions, particularly in the Red Sea region and the Middle East, along with the changes in global trade patterns due to the impact of U.S. tariffs policy, by capturing increased demand along alternative intra-Asia and Euro-Asia trade routes.Customer diversification reached a significant milestone, with non-container liner sales accounting for 36.9% of revenue, while sales concentration among the top five customers declined to 60.4% from 66.7% in 1H 2024. The Company continues to service nine of the world's top 12 container shipping lines, which contributed nearly 60% of global container fleet capacity.Additionally, biofuel sales demand was fueled by stricter environmental regulations, including IMO’s Carbon Intensity Indicator and the EU’s FuelEU Maritime, and surged 154.7% year-on-year in 1H2025, with volumes up 189.5%, reinforcing CBL’s forerunning position in sustainable marine fuels. The Company stayed ahead of this trend with the successful rollout of its B24 biofuel in China, Hong Kong, and Malaysia, followed by a 2025 launch in Singapore. The B24 blend, comprising 76% conventional fuel and 24% UCOME, delivers a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional marine fuels.Stricter Environmental Regulations and Industry ReshapingDespite the unpredictability of U.S. trade policy, oil prices, and geopolitical risks, CBL remains cautiously optimistic about the outlook as further uncertainties could impact our results of operations for a particular period. Regarding the ongoing instability in the Red Sea, where vessels were rerouted via the Cape of Good Hope, CBL targeted the increased demand from rerouted vessels, ensuring that our strategic supply chain could meet these demands, allowing us to maintain the stability of our offerings and capitalize on the opportunities created by these disruptions.The adoption of biofuels and other sustainable marine fuels is accelerating as stricter environmental regulations reshape the shipping industry. Consultant agency Exactitude Consultancy is projecting a 50.4% CAGR for the green marine fuel market from 2023 to 2030, as demand for biofuels is expected to climb sharply. Leveraging its early move into sustainable fuels, CBL is expanding its biofuel supply chain and exploring LNG and methanol, positioning itself to capture growth while helping customers meet tightening decarbonization targets across Asia Pacific, Europe, and other key markets.Management Commentary and Future OutlookDr. Teck Lim Chia, Chairman and CEO of CBL International Limited, stated, “Our first half results highlight significant strategic progress. Despite a challenging macro backdrop, we successfully expanded our global network, accelerated our biofuel transition with triple-digit growth, and narrowed our net loss by nearly 40%. These achievements underscore our resilience, operational discipline, and confidence in long-term growth.As regulations tighten and customer demand for sustainable marine fuels accelerates, CBL is uniquely positioned as an early mover with the ISCC certifications and supply partnerships to lead the market transition. We remain focused on executing our strategy to deliver profitable growth and long-term shareholder value.”Outlook Looking ahead, CBL expects to:- Further scale its biofuel supply chain and explore LNG and methanol, leveraging regulatory support and customer adoption.- Continue expanding port coverage to enhance global connectivity.- Maintain disciplined cost management and capitalize on financial flexibility to invest in sustainable fuels and potential shareholder return initiatives.Webcast DetailsCBL International Limited (Nasdaq: BANL) cordially invites you to participate in a webcast to discuss its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.Event:2025 Interim Results WebcastDate and Time:10:00 pm – 11:00 pm US EST on September 15, 2025 (Monday) 10:00 am – 11:00 am MST/HKT on September 16, 2025 (Tuesday)Access:The webinar can be accessed live through the website provided below.Webcast Link: https://webcast.roadshowchina.cn/k8WDrnAbout the Banle GroupCBL International Limited (Nasdaq: BANL) is the listing vehicle of Banle Group, a reputable marine fuel logistics company based in the Asia Pacific region that was established in 2015.

吉隆坡, 2025年9月5日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 万利集团 （以下简称 「 万利 」 或 「 集团 」 ）之上市实体 CBL International Limited（以下简称 「 公司 」 或 「 CBL」 ）（美国纳斯达克交易所代码： BANL），亚太地区知名燃油供应服务商，已于2025年9月2日公布截至2025年6月30日未经审计中期业绩。2025年中期财务及运营亮点- 收入 为 2.6517亿美元，反映公司在多变的宏观环境下仍维持稳健表现。- 销售量增长9.8%，主要受网络扩充、获取新客户及扩展至非集装箱班轮及生物燃料分部所推动。- 毛利率于2025年上半年增加至1.02%，反映公司在竞争激烈的环境下维持盈利能力及扩大市场份额的策略见效。- 净亏损按年减少38.8% 至99.2万美元，显示成本控制及运营效率均有所改善。- 生物燃料销售飙升154.7%，主要由按照国际海事组织（IMO）2023及欧盟海运燃料条例（EU FuelEU Maritime regulations）加快采纳可持续船用燃料所推动。- 全球网络扩展至65个港口，加强CBL作为全球一站式船用燃料物流平台的地位。- 现金结余543万美元及5,000万美元承諾的银行授信额度提供强大财务灵活性，支持增长及创造股东价值。财务表现概览截至2025年6月30日止六个月，公司报告合并收入为2.6517亿美元，较2024年同期的2.7723亿美元下降4.4%，主要由于船用燃料价格下跌，但部分被销售量的增加所抵消，而销售量增加主要归因于网络扩充、赢得新客户以及扩展至非集装箱班轮及生物燃料分部。公司强大的网络亦显示，公司能有效抵御海事行业所面对的地缘政治影响。毛利保持稳定，为271万美元，销售量亦增加以应对市场竞争。毛利率由2024年上半年的0.98%改善至2025年上半年的1.02%。利润率增长反映公司在竞争激烈的环境下维持盈利能力及扩大市场份额的策略见效。公司于截至2025年6月30日止六个月录得净亏损99.2万美元，较2024年同期的净亏损162万美元大幅改善38.8%，主要受惠于公司实施严谨的成本管理及运营效率提升措施，促使运营费用由2024年上半年的412万美元减少17%至342万美元。截至2025年6月30日，随着营运资金管理有所改善，加上银行信贷额增加至5,000万美元，现金及现金等价物达到543万美元，为公司的增长计划提供更大财务灵活性。战略扩张及卓越运营业务扩充仍然是CBL的主要增长动力。截至2025年6月30日，公司的全球服务网络已覆盖65个港口，遍布亚太区、欧洲、非洲和中美洲。通过把握亚洲区内及欧亚之间替代的贸易航线上增加的需求，此次扩张使CBL能够有效应对地缘政治动荡，尤其是在红海及中东地区，以及由美国关税政策影响引发的全球贸易格局变化。客户多元化发展达到重要里程碑，非集装箱班轮销售占收入的36.9%，五大客户的销售集中度由2024年上半年的66.7%下降至60.4%。公司持续为全球12大集装箱班轮公司的其中9家公司提供服务，占全球集装箱班轮船队运力近60%。此外，受国际海事组织的船舶碳强度指标以及欧盟海运燃料倡议等更严格的环境法规所推动，生物燃料销售需求于2025年上半年按年激增154.7%，销量上升189.5%，巩固了CBL在可持续船用燃料方面的领先地位。公司持续引领这一趋势，在中国、香港和马来西亚成功推出B24生物燃料后，又于2025年在新加坡成功推出。B24生物燃料包含76%的常规燃料和24%的食用油甲酯，与传统的船用燃料相比，可减少20%的温室气体排放。更为严格的环境法规及行业重塑尽管美国贸易政策、油价及地缘政治风险难以预测，但CBL仍对前景保持审慎乐观，尽管更多不确定因素可能会影响公司某一特定时期的经营业绩。鉴于红海局势持续不稳定，船只绕道好望角，CBL瞄准改航船只增加的需求，确保公司的战略供应链能够满足这些需求，以维持产品的稳定性并把握航线中断所带来的机遇。随着更为严格的环境法规重塑航运业，行业正在加快采用生物燃料及其他可持续船用燃料。咨询机构Exactitude Consultancy预测，由于对生物燃料的需求预计将急剧攀升，绿色船用燃料市场在2023年至2030年期间的复合年增长率达50.4%。凭借早期进入可持续燃料领域的优势，CBL正扩大其生物燃料供应链，探索液化天然气和甲醇的发展机遇，致力实现增长，同时在亚太、欧洲及其他主要市场帮助客户达成的日益严苛的脱碳目标。管理层总结及未来展望公司董事长兼首席执行官谢威廉博士表示：「我们上半年的业绩突显了集团的重大战略进展。尽管宏观环境充满挑战，但我们仍成功扩展全球网络，以三位数的增长态势加速生物燃料转型，使净亏损减少近40%。这些成就突显了我们的抵御能力、营运纪律及对长期增长的信心。随着法规收紧以及客户对可持续船用燃料的需求加速增长，CBL作为市场先行者，凭借ISCC认证和供应合作伙伴关系，具备独特的优势引领市场转型。我们将继续专注执行策略，以实现盈利增长及长期股东价值。」展望展望未来，CBL预期将：- 以监管支持及客户采纳作为推动，进一步扩大其生物燃料供应链，探索液化天然气和甲醇的发展机会。- 继续扩大港口覆盖范围以加强全球互联互通。- 维持严谨的成本管理，并利用财务灵活性，投资于可持续燃料及潜在股东回报计划。网络直播详情CBL International Limited（纳斯达克：BANL）诚邀您参加线上发布会，就公司截至2025年6月30日六个月财务业绩作出讨论。活动：2025年中期业绩线上发布会日期和时间：2025年9月15日（星期一）美国东部时间晚上10:00-11:00 2025年9月16日（星期二）马来西亚时间/香港时间上午10:00-11:00网路直播详情：线上发布会可通过以下链接观看直播。网络广播链接：https://webcast.roadshowchina.cn/k8WDrn关于万利集团万利集团成立于 2015 年，以CBL International Limited（纳斯达克：BANL）在纳斯达克股票市场上市。我们致力于为客户提供一站式燃油供应服务，被业内称为燃油供应服务商。我们主要通过当地实体供货商为船舶提供燃油加注服务，遍布比利时、中国、香港、印度、日本、韩国、马来西亚、毛里裘斯、巴拿马、菲律宾、新加坡、台湾、泰国、土耳其和越南，共覆盖65个港口。集团积极推动可持续燃料，并已取得ISCC EU和ISCC Plus认证。如欲了解更多信息，请到集团网站 https://www.banle-intl.com 浏览。前瞻性声明本公吿中的某些陈述并非历史事实，而是前瞻性陈述。前瞻性陈述一般使用「相信」、「可能」、「可以」、「将要」、「估计」、「继续」、「预期」、「打算」、「期望」、「计划」、「应该」、「将会」、「规划」、「未来」、「展望」、「潜力」、「预测」等类似词语来预测或表达未来事件或趋势或不属于历史事项的陈述，但不使用这些词语并不意味着陈述并非前瞻性。这些前瞻性陈述包括但不限于对其他绩效指标的估计和预测，以及对市场机会的预测。这些信息涉及已知和未知的风险和不确定性，并基于各种假设（无论本新闻稿中是否指明）以及BANL管理层的当前预期，而非对实际业绩的预测。这些前瞻性陈述仅供帮助目的，不得被任何投资者作为且不得被依赖为对事实或可能性的担保、保证、预测或确凿陈述。实际事件和情况难以或不可能预测，也会与假设不同。许多实际事件和情况不在BANL的控制范围内。一些重要因素可能导致实际结果与任何前瞻性陈述存在实质性差异，包括国内外商业、燃料价格及关税、市场、金融、政治、法律环境、地缘政治及其他导致燃料价格发生重大变化的事件的影响。公司没有义务公开更新或修改任何前瞻性陈述来反映随后发生的事件或情况或预期的变化，法律可能要求者除外。尽管公司认为该等前瞻性陈述中表达的预期合理，但不能向您保证此类预期最终正确无误。公司提醒投资者实际结果可能与预期结果存在重大差异，并鼓励投资者细阅公司的注册声明和向SEC提交的其他文件所载可能影响其未来业绩的其他因素。如需更多资讯，请联系：CBL International Limited电邮：investors@banle-intl.com纵横财经公关顾问有限公司郑松雪 电话：(852) 2864 4857欧阳蔚雯 电话：(852) 2114 4913电邮：sprg_cbl@sprg.com.hk Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

AMSTERDAM, Sept 5, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - LOLC Advanced Technologies (LOLC AT), a fully owned subsidiary of LOLC Holdings PLC, together with Corsair Group International, headquartered in Amsterdam, has announced a landmark partnership to upgrade and expand LOLC AT's existing waste-to-fuel plant at Kerawalapitiya. This strategic initiative aims to address Sri Lanka's growing plastic and polythene waste challenge. With Sri Lanka generating an estimated 7,000 metric tons of solid waste per day, equating to roughly 2.56 million metric tons per year, a significant portion of which consists of polythene and plastic. Plastic pollution has become one of the nation's most pressing environmental concerns, with much of this waste ends up in overflowing landfills, waterways, and oceans, posing serious threats to ecosystems, public health, and tourism.LOLC AT invested in and commissioned a waste-to-fuel plant in 2023, which it has successfully operated throughout 2024. This facility converts non-recyclable plastics into a reusable fuel, offering a viable alternative to fossil fuels while diverting waste from landfill and incineration. The newly formed partnership with Corsair Group International will build upon this foundation, introducing cutting-edge enhancements to increase processing capacity and improve efficiency. Through proprietary technology developed in-house by Corsair together with its technology partners, the project will focus on producing high-quality, ISCC PLUS-certified Pyrolysis Oil contributing to a fully circular economy where waste is transformed into resources that can be reintegrated into the economy in a sustainable and scalable way.The expanded facility will be able to handle larger volumes of plastic waste and process a broader range of material types, transforming them into high-quality pyrolysis oil that serves as a raw material for petrochemical companies to produce new plastics positioning the facility as a key contributor to the circular plastics value chain. In doing so, it will not only address a critical environmental challenge but also create green jobs, stimulate innovation, and position Sri Lanka as a regional leader in sustainable waste management solutions.Designed with cutting-edge technology, the new facility will have the capacity to process 12 million kilograms of plastic waste annually, converting it into high-quality Pyrolysis Oil. This oil will serve as a sustainable raw material for the petrochemical industry, enabling the production of new, recycled, and environmentally friendly plastic products. By transforming discarded plastic from landfills into valuable raw materials, the facility will not only help clean the environment of pollution but also contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy in Sri Lanka.Construction of the facility is scheduled to commence in 2025, with completion expected within approximately two years. Under the partnership, Corsair Group will bring in its technical expertise and global experience in plastic waste recycling, while LOLC AT will leverage its operational capabilities and commitment to developing projects that deliver lasting socio-economic and financial benefits to Sri Lanka.Sharing his thoughts on the new partnership, Mr. Danesh Abeyrathna, Director/ CEO of LOLC Advanced Technologies stated, "This partnership marks a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering sustainable solutions to some of the most pressing environmental challenges facing Sri Lanka today. By leveraging our operational expertise alongside Corsair's proven waste-to-fuel technology, we aim to not only enhance the efficiency and capacity of our existing facility but also create a tangible, positive impact on the country's plastic and polythene waste problem. Together, we are driving innovation that turns environmental responsibility into practical, measurable action for a greener future".Mr. Jussi Saloranta, CEO of Corsair Group International, added, "We are very excited and honoured to enter into this partnership with LOLC. As one of the most diversified conglomerates in Sri Lanka, LOLC provides an ideal platform for us to collaborate and create meaningful impact. This facility in Colombo represents the first of several planned joint initiatives, and we are fully committed to investing in Sri Lanka's sustainable development. Together, we aim to tackle the plastic waste challenge while building a cleaner, greener future for communities across the country."About LOLC Advanced TechnologiesLOLC Advanced Technologies (Pvt) Ltd., a fully owned subsidiary of LOLC Holdings PLC, is the research, innovation, and new business development arm of the Group. The company focuses on pioneering ventures that create long-term socio-economic value and financial returns for the country. Current projects span advanced materials such as graphene, high-value spice extraction, and waste-to-value initiatives that address pressing environmental and economic needs.About Corsair Group:Corsair Group International, headquartered in Amsterdam, is one of the fastest-growing companies in plastic waste recycling, focused on producing high-quality pyrolysis oil. With operations and partnerships spanning Asia, Europe, and North America, the company specializes in converting end-of-life plastics-often destined for landfills or oceans-into premium raw material for petrochemical companies to create new plastics, rather than fuels that are burned and lost from circulation. Corsair's further-developed technology and expertise enable scalable, commercially viable solutions that reduce plastic pollution, recover resources, and strengthen the circular plastics economy. Through its international projects, Corsair has already diverted thousands of tons of plastic from the environment, contributing to a more sustainable global future.Contact Infomail: info@corsairnow.comphone: +66 957 613 702SOURCE: Corsair group Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sep 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hosted by eBRAM International Online Arbitration and Mediation Centre (“eBRAM”), an independent not-for-profit arbitration and mediation institution established with the support of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the seminar titled "A New Horizon in Film & TV Trading: Web3 × DMP — Reshaping the Cross-Industry Supply Chain" concluded successfully today. Featuring experts from different industries as speakers and panellists, the event gathered close to a hundred professionals, senior executives, etc., who witnessed the signing of the MOU, and to explore new landscape of film and TV trading.Following the opening remarks delivered by Dr. Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM, a welcome remarks was made by Dr. Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan, SBS, JP, Deputy Secretary for Justice of HKSAR. Together with Ms. Zhang Yumei, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Law of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR, they witnessed the signing of the MOU between eBRAM and Radio Television Hong Kong, the Association of Motion Picture Post Production Professionals, and Asia Pacific Creativity Industries Association, with the parties committing to collaborating in promoting legal technology application in the film and TV cultural industry. In his welcome address, Deputy Secretary Cheung pointed out that being one of the important film and TV production centers in the Asia-Pacific region, Hong Kong serves as a "super-connector" between the Mainland China and international markets. To promote the healthy development of the industry, the Department of Justice continues to advance the development of legal technology application and dispute resolution mechanisms, enhancing the legal support framework through various policies and measures to foster industry innovation. At the same time, eBRAM's Deal-Making Portal (DMP) acts as a vital tool for the industry to address challenges, providing a more convenient channel for cooperation discussions and more efficient legal rights protection, supporting the steady development of the industry in the long term."CEPA" Promotes Connectivity Between the Film and TV Industries in Mainland China and Hong Kong Attracting International Capital Inflows and the Industry To Go GlobalThe country has actively amended the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (“CEPA”) - Agreement on Trade in Services, to accelerate establishing a new normal in film and TV cooperation between Mainland China and Hong Kong. In his keynote speech, Dr. Johnny Ng Kit-chong, MH, JP, Member of the Legislative Council and Director of eBRAM, shared his insights and explained how the newly amended CEPA can reshape and facilitate the upgrade and development of the film and TV cultural industries in the two places. Dr. Ng pointed out that CEPA has injected core impetus into the film and TV industries in Hong Kong and the Mainland China. Co-productions of Hong Kong films and TV programmes would be treated the same as Mainland productions, easing market access for them and allowing upgrade across the entire industry chain, from creation, production, investment to distribution and screening. The removal of restrictions on creative teams also helps safeguard the creative freedom and uniqueness of Hong Kong's film and TV creations. For the industry in Mainland China, the better framework permits it to leverage the international platform in Hong Kong in directing capital to speed up international cooperation and project development. Such in-depth integration can drive two-way flow of talent, funds and projects, opening up wider channels for Hong Kong's film and TV industry to enter the mainland market, and boosting the potential inflow of international capital and technologies, while also assisting mainland China’s film and TV companies in expanding into international markets through Web3 technology.Synergistic Application of Legal Technology and Web3 to Reshape Entire Film and TV Industry ChainAt the seminar titled "On-chain Collaboration X Legal Protection: The Digital Transformation Journey of the Hong Kong Film and TV Industry in the Web3 Generation", Mr. Albert Leung, Acting Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of eBRAM, Mr. Alan Chiu, Partner at ELLALAN, Mr. Kaijun Huang, Senior Partner at Beijing Dacheng (Shanghai) Law Offices, LLP, Mr. Rex Ma, Honorary President of the Asia Pacific Creativity Industries Association, Dr. Cheney Tsoi, President of the Asia Blockchain Society, and Dr. Alex Lau, Partner at the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Advisory Service, discussed the digital transformation and cross-border cooperation of the film and TV industry in the Web3 era. Speakers highlighted the structural impacts that Web3 technology brings to the film and TV industry, and analysed common obstacles and controversies in technological adaptation and cross-border collaboration within the industry. The discussion emphasized that legal technology enhances copyright protection in both Mainland China and Hong Kong, while mentioning that Web3 introduces disintermediation and smart contract applications to the industry chain, serving as the core for building a trustworthy trading environment and enhancing the efficiency of cross-border film and TV contracts and risk management. Discussions also pointed out how blockchain is reshaping collaboration model of the film and TV industry, emphasizing the role of DMP in transformation and dispute avoidance. It explained that through eBRAM’s DMP and Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform, the industry can leverage tools like smart contracts and blockchain evidence to provide seamless online trading and legal protection to cooperative projects, facilitating efficient cross-border market tradings and resolves common copyright and contract disputes in cross-border collaborations, as such, consolidating Hong Kong’s position as a bridge for Sino-foreign film and TV cultural cooperation, and highlighting the critical role of technology and law in driving industry innovation, protecting rights, and enhancing cooperation efficiency.Dr. Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM, said, "eBRAM is very honoured to sign the MOU and joint hands with the various film and TV, and cultural creative institutions to build an efficient, professional and safe one-stop cross- jurisdiction online ‘technology + law’ solution platform for the industry. With the help of legal technology and Web3 blockchain technology, the platform will assist companies in effectively connecting resources and partners, clarifying contractual terms and providing digital dispute resolution solutions when needed, building together the world’s first integrated ecosystem of ‘Film and TV x Web3 x Legal Technology’ with international influence, and kicking off strategic deployment of Hong Kong‘s Web3 cultural and creative industry. We look forward to welcoming more film and TV, and cultural creative institutions in different regions to join to perfect our ecosystem, and facilitate healthy cross-border development and cooperation in the film and TV, and cultural creative industry.”In November last year, eBRAM signed an MOU on “International Dispute Resolution in the Film and Television Industry” with Hengdian Film and Television Industry Association and Dongyang Law Society, and in March this year, it participated in the Hong Kong International Film and TV Market (FILMART). Such initiatives speak volumes to its commitment to introducing the DMP and ODR platforms to the film and TV industry and facilitating healthy and synergistic cross-border and cross-media development. On the foundation of the latest MOU signed with local film and TV cultural institutions, together with national policy support, eBRAM hopes to leverage its platforms to bring a continuous steam of new opportunities for film and TV collaboration between Mainland China and Hong Kong, fostering in-depth integration and innovative development within the industry.Photo CaptionsDr. Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM, host the opening of the event.Dr. Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan, SBS, JP, Deputy Secretary for Justice of HKSAR, delivers welcome remarks at the event.Dr. Johnny Ng Kit-chong, MH, JP, Member of the Legislative Council and Director of eBRAM, delivers keynote speech at the event.Ms. Zhang Yumei, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Law of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the HKSAR (Left 3)and Dr. Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan, SBS, JP, Deputy Secretary for Justice of HKSAR(Right 3), together witness the signing of the MOU between Dr. Thomas So, JP, Chairman of eBRAM(Right 2), Ms. Angelina Kwan, JP, Director of Broadcasting at Radio Television Hong Kong(Left 2), Mr. Stephen Ma, Vice President of the Association of Motion Picture Post Production Professionals(Left 1), and Ms. Linda Lam, President of the Asia Pacific Creativity Industries Association(Right 1).(From Left to Right) Mr. Kaijun Huang, Senior Partner at Beijing Dacheng (Shanghai) Law Offices, Mr. Alan Chiu, Partner at ELLALAN, LLP, Mr. Rex Ma, Honorary President of the Asia Pacific Creativity Industries Association, Mr. Albert Leung, Acting Chief Executive Officer of eBRAM, Dr. Cheney Tsoi, President of the Asia Blockchain Society, and Dr. Alex Lau, Partner at the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Advisory Service, engage in an in-depth discussion on the digital transformation and cross-border cooperation of the film and TV industry in the Web3 era during the seminar.Olivia Kung, Member of the eBRAM Board of Directors, Chairman of the Marketing Task Force, delivers closing remarks at the event.About eBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution CentreeBRAM International Online Dispute Resolution Centre (“eBRAM”) is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee established in 2018, with the support of Asian Academy of International Law Ltd, Hong Kong Bar Association, and The Law Society of Hong Kong. eBRAM tasks itself to elevate Hong Kong’s arbitration and mediation services and build capacity to meet the rapidly expanding demand for online dispute resolution and deal-making services across the borders by utilising innovative technologies to enable the city to become a LawTech centre and hub for international business dispute avoidance and resolution and collaborate with global organisations and participating economies such as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Belt-and-Road countries and beyond.eBRAM has developed its ODR platform and DMP Portal leveraging the latest technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain and cloud.
