20.9.2021 15:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
Loop Energy (TSX: LPEN), a developer and manufacturer of hydrogen fuel cell-based solutions, announces the first shipment of Loop’s complete fuel cell system to Slovakia-based Mobility & Innovation a.s. (M&I). This shipment is the first under the previously announced commercial agreement between the parties, which anticipates over $1.9 million USD in fuel cell shipments from Loop Energy over the next two and a half years.
Under the terms of the agreement, Loop is to provide M&I with a complete fuel cell system to implement into M&I’s 8-meter transit bus. In addition to Loop’s high efficiency S300 fuel cell module, the solution includes a fully integrated cooling system designed to repurpose some of the thermal energy produced by an operating hydrogen fuel cell for bus heating thus increasing total usable energy output of the fuel cell system by up to 30%.
“As communities across the globe focus their attention on replacing diesel with zero emission alternatives, we are seeing a rapid increase in demand for hydrogen-powered mass transit vehicles. We are looking forward to working closely with M&I in providing customers across Europe with affordable, practical, and sustainable solutions for their municipal transit needs.” said George Rubin, Chief Commercial Officer of Loop Energy.

Virtual Installation The Kuutar Garden by Jakob Kudsk Steensen Opens in Oulu, Finland, in September10.9.2026 14:37:00 EEST | Press release
Deep underneath the city centre of Oulu, Danish artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen’s site-specific installation The Kuutar Garden comes to life on 18 September as part of the Oulu2026 European Capital of Culture programme, featuring musical collaborations with Danny L Harle and vocalist yeule. “The Kuutar Garden evokes a new ecological reality, unrooted from our physical boundaries, into a rhythmic and ghost-like world nurtured by a moonlight illuminated botanical garden. I hope audiences feel connected to the emergence of new worlds, and the caring of overlooked plant life,” says Steensen. The Kuutar Garden emerges from over four years of ecological fieldwork within the Botanical Garden of the University of Oulu, one of the world's northernmost botanic gardens, where Steensen bore witness to subarctic winters set against the artificial glow of greenhouse architecture. From this encounter, Steensen has conjured a virtual replica of that architecture, carrying audiences into an otherworldly re
New Circularity Data: Nine Out of Ten Returned Items Lose Value for Retailers10.9.2026 14:33:00 EEST | Press release
New research from ReBound Returns and Advanced Supply Chain (ASC) has revealed a gap between retailers’ circularity ambitions and the value they are recovering from returned products. The Circularity Index, based on research among 150 senior leaders at mid-to-large UK and European retailers, found that 86% have an established approach to circularity in returns, with practices including resale, refurbishment, repair and recycling regularly used across the business. For 27%, circularity is a core part of how returns are managed. However, translating those strategies into commercial value remains difficult. On average, 12% of returned items generate no value, while only 9% of retailers resell more than half of their returned products at full price. There is also a significant opportunity still to be captured. 82% of retailers believe that up to half of their returned stock could generate additional value through enhanced recommerce strategies, while 62% already make regular efforts to rec

New WSJ Intelligence Survey Highlights the Human Skills Companies Must Protect as AI Enters the Workplace10.9.2026 14:00:00 EEST | Press release
Philip Morris International (PMI) (NYSE: PM) and WSJ Intelligence, the in-house thought leadership consultancy for The Wall Street Journal's commercial sales organization, today unveiled The Cognition Index Research Report, a comprehensive study exploring the evolving role of human cognition in an AI-driven workplace. Surveying more than 2,500 business professionals across the United States, United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa, and Brazil, the report reveals that while business professionals are increasingly optimistic about AI’s role in improving decision-making, they continue to see human judgment, ethics, critical thinking and empathy as essential capabilities that must be actively protected and developed as AI becomes embedded in workplace workflows. “Human cognition is a bit like a muscle: use it or lose it,” says Moira Gilchrist, Chief Global Communications Officer at Philip Morris International. “AI can help us work more efficiently, but we need to be careful not to outsource ou
