LAUNCHING A TEXTILE RESEARCH CENTRE IS NTU SINGAPORE AND RGE

 

The RGE-NTU Sustainable Textile Research Center has been established by Royal Golden Eagle (RGE) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore).

Ms Grace Fu, the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment of Singapore, gave the research centre its official opening.

The RGE-NTU SusTex project seeks to hasten innovation in textile recycling and transform research findings into workable solutions that may be implemented in densely populated areas like Singapore.

The $6 million joint research centre's researchers will study topics like recycling textile waste into fibre and developing the next generation of environmentally friendly and sustainable textiles. The objective is to analyse the chemistry of various textile components and identify the best procedures and methods needed to launch a circular textile economy.

The centre's mission is in line with Singapore's zero waste aim to create a sustainable, resource-efficient, and climate-resilient country, according to NTU President Professor Subra Suresh.

The relationship between NTU and RGE "leverages NTU's intellectual assets in materials and environmental chemistry and draws on RGE's industry experience as a worldwide resources-based manufacturing organisation," Suresh said.

Perry Lim, executive director of RGE, stated: "We want to contribute where we can make the biggest difference. The import of garbage, particularly textile waste, is being prohibited by more nations.

However, metropolitan areas like Singapore cannot use the present textile recycling methods since they rely on a bleaching and separation process that uses powerful chemicals.

"RGE can assist in this by sharing our global R&D knowledge as the world's largest producer of viscose and by providing S$6 million in cash to establish the research centre and fund its work. We can also possibly scale up the feasible technologies and solutions across our global operations."

The scientists at the NTU School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering and the School of Materials Science and Engineering will contribute their knowledge to the collaborative research centre.

THE PRICE OF NATURAL GAS HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY IN BOTH THE US AND THE EU DURING THE PAST YEAR

Image
  The cost of natural gas for US consumers has increased by more than treble in the last year. According to the Energy Information Administration EIA, natural gas generates around 38% of the electricity used in the US. Additionally, natural gas is used to heat both the water and space in nearly half of the homes in the US. As the US LNG export plant quickly restarts, natural gas prices rise. Natural Gas Surges With US LNG Export Terminal Set for Fast Restart, according to a story from Bloomberg yesterday.

According to an agreement reached with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Freeport LNG, which was shut down in June following an explosion, will restart operations in early October at nearly full capacity. That would increase the...

THE FLU IN THAILAND after COVID-19 IS DOWNGRADED TO THE SAME CATEGORY AS

 Thailand: In October, when the country's viral situation begins to stabilise, Thailand will declare COVID-19 a "dangerous" infectious disease that "needs monitoring." According to Thailand's health minister, Anutin Charanvirakul, this adjustment will reduce Covid-19's priority from being on par with plague and smallpox to influenza and dengue, reflecting the country's actual health situation. Anutin asserted in a statement that the decision showed how well-prepared Thailand's healthcare system is, how simple it is for individuals to access care, and how responsibly people act when it comes to self-defense. According to him, Thailand would "soon" change its pandemic management strategy so that private hospitals can buy antiviral drugs directly from manufacturers. Last week, authorities anticipated significant Covid-19 cases and fatalities in read more.:  https://industryglobalnews24.com/covid19-is-downgraded-to-the-same-category-as-the-...
