  • Lockheed Martin raises outlook, beats earnings estimates

    U.S. weapons maker Lockheed Martin Corp increased its outlook for 2021 sales and profit as it reported better-than-expected quarterly profits on Tuesday, helped by higher sales and profits at its unit which makes ships and helicopters. Though the maker of the F-35 fighter jet increased the midpoint of its full-year revenue outlook slightly to $68 billion, the estimate is below Wall Street's average estimate of $68.17 billion.

  • Start-ups aim to change car battery recycling, clean up world's most polluting industry

    A handful of startups are trying to find a new way to recycle used car batteries, using water, chemicals and electricity to produce lead instead of the hazardous, high-heat smelting that has been identified as the world's most polluting industry. One of the first to bring a new recycling technology to market is ACE Green Recycling Inc, which has developed a room-temperature process that turns lead from scrap batteries into ingots, its Singapore-based CEO Nishchay Chadha told Reuters. At its recycling plant in Ghaziabad, on the outskirts of the Indian capital New Delhi, the firm uses machines that run on electricity to refine lead components from scrap batteries into briquettes, which are then cast into ingots and sold to battery manufacturers.

    Milano 20 aprile 2021. La Base Balneare con Donnedamare, il sindacato nato nel 2018 grazie alla sua Presidente Bettina Bolla, per tutelare i diritti di tanti concessionari balneari italiani, sposa il progetto SAFETY BEACH®. Ideato da 7EVENTS, Agenzia Milanese guidata da Massimo Turturro, dopo un primo esperimento nel 2020 per distinguere e identificare l’unica spiaggia libera in Italia, gestita nel rispetto delle regole indicate nei protocolli Covid 19, con accessi limitati, controllo del distanziamento e registrazione degli ospiti, nel 2021 diventa una vera e propria guida dei litorali italiani per un’estate al mare in piena sicurezza. Attraverso il portale SAFETYBEACH.IT (attivo dal 1 giugno 2021) sarà infatti possibile identificare tutti gli Stabilimenti Balneari aderenti al Progetto e che applicano rigidi protocolli attenendosi a un modello di Gestione e Sanificazione condiviso. A rendere riconoscibili gli stabilimenti balneari: bandiere SAFETY BEACH®, colonnine dispenser di gel per mani, segnaletiche con le regole comportamentali, utilizzo di presidi medico chirurgici per la sanificazione, gadget educativi per i bambini, ma soprattutto un attento controllo delle regole stabilite dal Governo. Bettina Bolla, Presidente di La Base Balneare con DONNEDAMARE e imprenditrice balneare a Varazze, afferma: “Il sindacato La Base Balneare vuole rassicurare gli ospiti degli stabilimenti balneari per la stagione 2021 attuando tutte le misure possibili per prendersi cura delle persone che scelgono le nostre destinazioni e le nostre strutture. Non c’è dubbio che anche quest’anno vincerà chi scommette e investe sulla sicurezza. La Base balneare lo scorso anno è stato il primo a proporre un protocollo di gestione dell’emergenza COVID, con prescrizioni poi fissate dallo stesso governo. Dopo il marchio di sostenibilità ambientale, quest’anno lanceremo il progetto SAFETY BEACH®” Massimo Turturro, ideatore di SAFETY BEACH®, afferma: “Trasformare un ostacolo in una opportunità. Questo è sempre stato il mio approccio al lavoro e alla vita. L’anno scorso, da poco iniziato il lockdown, mi sono subito chiesto cosa potessi fare con la mia agenzia di comunicazione ed eventi. E così è nato SAFETY BEACH® un progetto a costo zero per gli stabilimenti grazie al contributo di aziende partner che stanno aderendo a questa iniziativa.

  • Global Laboratory Product Purchasing Trends Report 2020-2021 with Impacts of COVID-19

    Dublin, April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Laboratory Product Purchasing Trends, 2020-2021" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. Readers of one of the publisher's media partners were invited to participate in an online survey in September 2020 that centered on the state of their laboratories in 2020 and their expectations for 2021. The publisher has conducted similar studies among the same targeted respondents since 2012. Where applicable, the study presents year-over-year data to illustrate yearly trend developments. To qualify for survey participation, readers had to play a role in their laboratory's purchasing process, be familiar with their laboratory's product budgets, and represent a laboratory that either uses or plans to use products in one or more of the seven specified laboratory product categories: instruments, equipment, chemicals, reagents and kits, general lab supplies, plasticware, and glassware. A total of 211 decision makers qualified for and completed the survey, answering questions on purchases, budgets, top companies, and purchasing preferences. Respondents were segmented by type of laboratory: academic/government, biopharmaceutical, industrial, and clinical. This end-user survey polled researchers on their preferences in order to understand the laboratory product purchasing process and how that differs among the various organization types. The data collected was quantitative in respect to budgets and qualitative with reference to end-user trends such as budget expectations, brand selection preferences, purchasing process steps, evaluation and sourcing of lab products, recent and expected instrument and equipment purchases, frequency of price comparisons, funding trends, unmet needs, product purchasing preferences, and the impact of COVID-19 on lab shutdowns and spending. This survey provides companies with actionable and trending information from laboratory professionals that will help drive business strategies and develop growth expectations. For the purpose of this analysis, respondents identifying as manufacturing, environmental testing, chemical or petrochemical, and food, beverage, or agricultural are combined as industrial laboratories. Biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and contract research organization are combined as biopharmaceutical laboratories. State government and federal government laboratories are combined as government laboratories. Hospital laboratories and clinical reference laboratories fall under the clinical segment. Respondents indicated a wide range of job titles including researcher, scientist, investigator, director, manager, and technician. Key Topics Covered: 1.
