JOOX 10.0 Officially Launches — A Fully Refreshed UI and New Explore Mode Invite You into a New Chapter of Immersive Listening
Recently, JOOX rolled out a major upgrade to version 10.0, launching simultaneously for users in Hong Kong, China, Macao, China, Thailand, and Malaysia. This update brings a lighter, more refined UI — refreshing every core surface from the app home page to the player and theme skins — with a vibrant, expressive design language that turns JOOX into a music space that feels both trendy and full of energy, letting the joy of listening extend from your ears to your eyes. At the same time, the new version moves beyond the traditional playlist-recommendation formula and introduces an all-new Music Explore Mode: guided by your current mood, setting, and preferences, you can stumble upon melodies that match this very moment, turning a focused listening session into a serendipitous journey that grows with you. The visual refresh begins the moment you open JOOX — right on the app home page. Version 10.0 officially introduces JOOX's IP character, JOJO, who dynamically changes with the weather, the time of day, and the track you're playing, while the page colors adapt in sync with the music. A newly added custom theme-skin feature lets you break away from the one-size-fits-all default look and freely mix and match your favorite color styles to create a music corner that's uniquely yours. Beyond the home page, the player section has also been redesigned. Version 10.0 introduces a color vinyl record player skin whose tones automatically adapt to the album cover — and you can also fine-tune the colors and the record's groove pattern yourself, making the player truly look the way you want. A new landscape playback mode supports full-screen lyrics display and lets you switch between multiple playback styles. In portrait mode, brand-new lyric animations make the words swell with the melody, paired with rhythm-synced motion effects that let the visuals flow right along with the music. On top of the playback improvements, the all-new Music Explore Mode is packed with highlights of its own. The mode lets you choose freely across multiple dimensions — genre, language, mood, and scene — and JOOX will recommend tracks that fit your current state. Once you turn on Focus Mode, you can even grow your very own "music flower" while you listen: the flower's appearance and growth stages keep evolving with your listening time, so every focused session rewards you with a little romance nurtured by music. The new version also debuts JOJO, an AI assistant that understands you better, along with the creative SnapCard feature. Built on AI Agent capabilities, JOJO can read your emotions, your context, and your musical preferences — whether that means generating a personalized playlist from a single short voice command, or quickly crafting lyrics and melodies around trending topics or the story of your mood. And it doesn't stop at listening and creating: version 10.0 also introduces SnapCard, an artist- and IP-themed card pool where you can draw blind boxes of your idols' highlight moments and heart-fluttering lyrics, collecting beautifully crafted cards complete with artist signatures and unique serial numbers. Collect them all to unlock limited-edition outfits and signature rewards — a way to hold on to the music memories you love. As a music streaming platform built for young listeners around the world, JOOX has been bringing fresh, trending music to users across different countries and regions since launching in 2015. Today, JOOX's catalog spans more than 160 million tracks — from Chinese pop classics to local favorites, from live concert recordings to film and TV soundtracks — all fully licensed, so users can always find authentic audio for every listening moment. Fan beats, free hits. From interface colors that shift with the melody, to listening scenes you can explore freely and immerse yourself in, JOOX uses dynamic visuals to give music a more vivid expression. Update to JOOX 10.0 now, encounter a refreshing audio-visual experience, and set off on this imaginative musical journey.

The Hidden Cost of Low-value Healthcare: Why Better Data Matters
New global report highlights the need for better clinical data, greater transparency and a stronger focus on delivering value for patients. Beamtree’s Global Impact Committee (GIC) has released its sixth global report, The Invisible Epidemic of Low Value Healthcare: Why We Must Put Patients First, calling for greater transparency, accountability and better use of clinical data to improve healthcare outcomes. The GIC is an advisory board bringing together international healthcare experts to provide strategic advice, promote best practice and innovation in health data, and advance Beamtree’s mission to mobilise the power of data for a healthier, happier world. Its latest report examines one of healthcare’s most persistent challenges: the delivery of tests, treatments and procedures that provide limited clinical benefit, waste valuable resources, or expose patients to unnecessary harm. Drawing on international research and insights from healthcare leaders, the report highlights estimates suggesting that approximately 40% of healthcare is low value or harmful, reinforcing the need for health systems to move beyond identifying problems and take meaningful action. The report highlights the longstanding 60-30-10 challenge, an estimate drawn from previously published research suggesting that: 60% of healthcare aligns with evidence or consensus guidelines. 30% is wasteful or provides limited value. 10% is harmful. These estimates illustrate a challenge that has persisted for decades. At a time when healthcare systems face rising costs, increasing demand and workforce shortages, the consequences extend well beyond financial waste. Unnecessary care consumes valuable clinical capacity, contributes to inefficiencies, and can expose patients to avoidable risks. The report also highlights growing economic pressures. Across OECD countries, healthcare spending increased by 4.0% in 2024, compared with GDP growth of 1.7%. The challenge is clear: healthcare systems need to deliver better outcomes from increasingly constrained resources. Despite decades of research, low-value care remains embedded in healthcare delivery. The report argues that addressing the issue requires more than isolated improvement initiatives. Meaningful progress depends on coordinated action across clinical practice, leadership, policy and funding, supported by reliable data and greater accountability. The GIC identifies six priorities for healthcare systems: Define low-value care. Measure its prevalence and impact. Understand why it occurs. Manage it through coordinated improvement. Discourage practices that do not deliver value. Publish findings to strengthen transparency and accountability. Central to these recommendations is the need for reliable clinical data and greater visibility into variations in care. Tim Kelsey, Chair of the Global Impact Committee, said: “Low value care is the biggest source of avoidable harm and waste in health systems worldwide. Around 30 percent of care is wasteful or of low value, and a further 10 percent is harmful. “Tackling low value care means better outcomes for patients, and it is essential to the sustainability of healthcare. “This Global Impact Committee report sets out why value-based healthcare has struggled to make its mark, and what works: aligning policy, leadership and money; psychological safety for clinicians; benchmarking; and openness with data.” The GIC’s work is closely aligned with Beamtree’s commitment to improving healthcare through data, technology, and innovation. While the Committee brings together international expertise to examine some of healthcare’s most pressing challenges, Beamtree develops technology that supports healthcare organisations in improving clinical data quality, analytics, and evidence-based decision-making. This connection between thought leadership and practical innovation is particularly relevant to the report’s findings. High-quality clinical data provides a foundation for understanding healthcare performance, identifying unwarranted variation, and supporting informed decisions. Advanced analytics, benchmarking and appropriate AI-enabled technologies can help healthcare organisations better understand performance, identify unwarranted variation and make informed decisions. Through initiatives such as Health Roundtable in Australia and New Zealand and Evolve Collaborative in the UK, Beamtree also supports healthcare organisations to benchmark performance, share insights and identify opportunities to improve quality, safety and efficiency. Although technology alone cannot eliminate low-value care, it has an important role in helping healthcare organisations better understand performance and identify opportunities for improvement. Gareth Pye , Chief Executive Officer of Beamtree, said: “The Global Impact Committee plays an important role in Beamtree’s commitment to improving healthcare. By bringing together international expertise and perspectives, it challenges how we think about healthcare delivery and helps identify opportunities for meaningful change. “This latest report reinforces the importance of reliable clinical data, greater transparency, and technology that helps healthcare organisations make better-informed decisions. “As a healthcare technology company, our responsibility goes beyond developing solutions. We’re proud of the work of the Global Impact Committee and the contribution these reports make to conversations shaping the future of healthcare.” By supporting the GIC and bringing together global expertise, Beamtree continues to contribute to important discussions about the future of healthcare and the role of data and technology in delivering better care.

The 100-year life is rewriting Australia's retirement rulebook
Australians could spend far longer in retirement than they expect, with new research by Challenger revealing the growing gap between when people leave the workforce and how long they may live. New research from Challenger's Institute for Lifetime Income shows that an Australian couple both aged 65, now has a 43 per cent probability of at least one partner living to 95. At the same time, Australians who retire due to illness or injury do so at an average age of just 57, seven years earlier than those who retire voluntarily at 64. The findings are being released as Challenger hosts leading scholars from the Stanford Center on Longevity during their Australian visit to discuss the New Map of Life research and its call for a new script for longer lives, with greater flexibility to move between learning, working, caring for others and retirement. Stanford Center on Longevity Associate Director and Senior Research Scholar (Emerita), Martha Deevy, said the traditional expectations surrounding education, career and then retirement were developed for a world in which people lived much shorter lives. "The 100-year life is here, but we're still following a script written for a much shorter one," Ms Deevy said. "For generations, we've organised our lives around three distinct stages: education, work and retirement. But longer lives means that model is no longer fit for purpose, with more time to learn, change careers, care for family and contribute to our communities. "The New Map of Life recognises that life is rarely linear. It brings unexpected opportunities and challenges, and having the flexibility and confidence to navigate these changes is an important part of living a happy and fulfilling life." Challenger's Chief Economist, Dr Jonathan Kearns, said Challenger’s research highlighted the difficulty of planning for retirement when neither its starting point nor its duration could be predicted with certainty. "The two biggest unknowns in retirement planning are when you'll stop working and how long you'll live. Both can have a significant impact on how much money you'll need," Dr Kearns said. "Someone who expects to retire at 64 but is forced to leave work at 57 could face seven additional years without employment income. If they then live into their nineties, their savings may need to stretch across almost four decades. "That's a substantial financial challenge, particularly when inflation, investment returns and household circumstances can change considerably over such a long period. It means Australians need to plan for a range of retirement outcomes, rather than assuming their savings only need to last for an average lifespan." The research comes as approximately 300,000 Australians turn 65 this year, with that number expected to increase to 375,000 annually by the middle of the century. Challenger's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Nick Hamilton, said: "Australia has spent more than three decades building one of the world's largest pools of retirement savings. The size of Australia's superannuation system becomes largely irrelevant in retirement.” “What matters is the individual. Great retirement outcomes are determined by the confidence that their savings will last their lifetime and the confidence to spend their income without fear. "That's the opportunity Stanford's research puts in front of us. We have a chance to build on the strong foundations of Australia's retirement savings system and help people make the most of longer lives, whatever retirement looks like for them," Mr Hamilton said. About Challenger Established in 1985, Challenger is Australia’s leading retirement income business with a purpose to provide customers with financial security for a better retirement. We do this by helping Australians convert their accumulated savings into reliable and sustainable retirement income. At the same time, we provide income solutions for institutional investors through our leading credit origination capabilities, providing access to high-quality investment opportunities across public and private markets.

JWU Online Three-Year Degrees Cut 30 Credits from a Bachelor's
Students at Johnson & Wales University’s online campus, JWU Online , can earn a bachelor’s degree in computer science, criminal justice or hospitality management with 30 fewer credits than a traditional 120-credit degree, finishing in the equivalent of three years of full-time study instead of four. Johnson & Wales University introduced the programs in Fall 2025 in response to rising college costs. The online campus is now enrolling three-year program students for its January 11, 2027 semester. Average published tuition and fees at private nonprofit four-year colleges reached $45,000 for 2025-26, up 4.0% from the year before, according to the College Board's Trends in College Pricing 2025 report. At public four-year schools, in-state tuition and fees averaged $11,950. Public colleges offering online degrees average $10,680, while private colleges offering online degrees average $16,260 per year, based on a 30-credit, full-time course load. At JWU Online, the 30 fewer credits work out to about $14,850 in tuition, based on the current rate of $495 per credit. Additionally, graduates complete their degrees and get into the workforce or advance in their current positions one year faster. “We have a long history of responding to the needs and demands of students and we are constantly thinking about how to deliver a high-quality education in a way that fits with what students and families want. We hear a couple of concerns fairly frequently; first a concern for cost — students want less of a financial burden,” said Mim L. Runey, LP.D., Chancellor of Johnson & Wales University. “Secondly, we hear that students want to get into the workforce faster and to get practical experience. Through this degree, we have been careful to ensure that the practical experiential learning that is a hallmark of JWU education is integrated into this degree as well,” Runey continued. The shorter path does not depend on heavier course loads. Students complete the same 42-credit Arts and Sciences Core Experience and the same major courses required in the four-year version of each degree. The difference comes from electives outside general education. Students also complete a Work-Integrated Learning requirement, which they can meet through a current job, military service, community service or earned certificates. As of the Fall 2026 semester, JWU Online has 52 students enrolled in the computer science, criminal justice and hospitality management three-year programs. “After more than 30 years in hospitality, when I decided to return to academics, JWU felt like the right place,” said George Stinson ’28, a hospitality management student. “The 90-credit hospitality management program and the reputation of the school really drew me in. I’d already completed undergrad credits and liked the idea of finishing in the shorter time frame, so it’s a great fit. From help with collecting transcripts to the outreach from academics, financial aid, and the Work-Integrated Learning advisors, I’ve felt attended to every step of the way.” The university has accreditation from the New England Commission of Higher Education. The programs are eligible for federal financial aid like all other degrees. The three-year option is designed for students transferring 30 or fewer credits, and each degree is also offered in its traditional 120- or 121-credit format. More information is available here . JWU Online is the online campus of Johnson & Wales University, a private university founded in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1914. It offers associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees and certificates in fields including business, hospitality, criminal justice, health science, psychology and technology, with curricula developed in collaboration with employers.

The 10th International Mountain Tourism and Outdoor Sports Conference will be held in Qianxinan Buyi and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Guizhou Province from November 8 to 11, 2026. Bringing together relevant parties engaged in mountain tourism at home and abroad, the conference reviews the development achievements over the past decade and showcases the "Guizhou Model" of mountain tourism. With the theme of "Integrating Culture, Tourism and Sports to Empower High-quality Life — Breathe Towards the Mountains · Slow Living and Retreat", the conference features a series of activities including the opening ceremony, the 2026 Annual Conference of the International Mountain Tourism Alliance, the "Mountain Tourism +" Exchange Forum, the welcome dinner of "International Mountain Tourism Alliance · Night of Wanfenglin", mountain tourism product experience, the World Famous Mountain Photography Exhibition & Retrospective of the 10th Anniversary of the International Mountain Tourism and Outdoor Sports Conference, as well as a number of outdoor sports events. Experts will deliver keynote speeches on "Wellness Empowers Life and Retreat Connects the World", and release research findings related to mountain outdoor sports. Guizhou boasts a vibrant and diversified mountain outdoor sports industry. Leveraging its karst landforms, Qianxinan has developed activities such as rock climbing, hiking, trail running, camping and car rally races, advancing the in-depth integration of mountain sports with tourism, culture and wellness. Various outdoor activities held concurrently allow guests and the public to experience "breathing towards the mountains" in scenic spots including Wanfenglin and Malinghe Gorge. Since settling in Qianxinan in 2015, the International Mountain Tourism and Outdoor Sports Conference has become China’s only international summit themed on mountain tourism. Over the past decade, adhering to the principles of internationalization, market orientation, brand building and popular participation, it has built a global platform for dialogue and cooperation. The conference has successively released declarations and research outcomes such as the Guizhou Declaration on International Mountain Tourism, the Report on the Cooperative Development of Mountain Tourism under the RCEP Framework, and Climate Change and Responses for Mountain Tourism, putting forward many development concepts with global reference value. It has promoted the introduction of China’s first prefecture-level standard system for mountain tourism, and selected and released "World Famous Tourist Mountains", "Hiking Demonstration Routes of the International Mountain Tourism Alliance", and "Pilot Demonstration Sites for Mountain Hot Spring Wellness Tourism of the International Mountain Tourism Alliance", offering practical models for mountain resource development and business cultivation. For ten years, the conference has continuously deepened the integrated development of "tourism + sports + culture", serving as an important platform to boost the high-quality development of Guizhou’s tourism industry and display new forms of mountain tourism. From the first conference in 2015 to the grand 10th event in 2026, the International Mountain Tourism and Outdoor Sports Conference has witnessed and supported the leapfrog development of mountain tourism in Guizhou. All sectors are sincerely invited to gather in Qianxinan on November 8 for this decade-long appointment, and experience the unique charm of "Breathe Towards the Mountains · Slow Living and Retreat" among the forest of peaks.

Intl conference highlights Guizhou's mountain tourism and outdoor sports
Representatives of international organizations, tourism industry associations, tourism enterprises, experts and scholars have gathered in Southwest China's Guizhou province to explore new ways of integrating mountain tourism and outdoor sports with health and wellness tourism and extended-stay travel. The discussions are taking place at the International Conference of Mountain Tourism and Outdoor Sports (MTOS) 2026, running from Nov 8 to 11 in Xingyi, Qianxinan Bouyei and Miao autonomous prefecture. Since its launch in 2015, the conference has not only witnessed the growth of mountain tourism in Guizhou, but also reflected changing travel preferences over the past decade. Visitors are no longer content with simply enjoying scenic views. Instead, they seek hands-on participation, immersive experiences, and travel experiences that enhance their quality of life. Discussions at this year's conference, including sessions on mountain-based healthcare and wellness retreats, as well as integrating mountain living environments with the extended-stay tourism industry, reflect this growing trend. In 2017, Guizhou established the International Mountain Tourism Alliance (IMTA), headquartered in Guiyang. Today, the alliance has grown into an international cooperation platform connecting mountain tourism organizations, businesses, and professionals from multiple countries and regions. Through industry standards, professional exchanges, and tourism promotion, it works to advance mountain tourism worldwide. From hosting international conferences to contributing to the development of mountain tourism standards and fostering global industry exchanges, Guizhou is seeking to turn its local experience in mountain tourism development into a platform for international cooperation. Guizhou is rich in karst landscapes, where mountains, canyons, rivers, and ethnic villages combine to create distinctive natural and cultural scenery. In the past, its rugged terrain posed challenges to transportation and regional development. Today, continued infrastructure improvements and an increasingly diverse range of tourism offerings are turning these geographical features into competitive advantages for mountain outdoor sports, leisure, and resort tourism. Traditional ethnic dances take the stage at the opening ceremony. [Photo provided to eguizhou.gov.cn]

iDenfy launches its official connector for Claude and becomes MCP-compatible
iDenfy, the global identity verification and fraud prevention company, has presented its Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector that links Claude and Claude Code to a company’s iDenfy account. The connector helps businesses access their ID verification details without storing sensitive information, such as biometrics and ID document photos. Users no longer need to navigate the iDenfy dashboard to access verification results, identifying the most common Know Your Customer (KYC) denial reasons directly on Claude, among other use cases. In practice, this means that compliance teams in fintech, crypto, iGaming and other regulated industries can now ask questions that used to take dashboard searches and spreadsheet exports, now in a single message in Claude. Simple, plain language enables the AI assistant to compile data reports and provide answers in seconds, without exposing their end users’ personal data to the AI model. “ AI assistants and agents are becoming part of how compliance teams work every day,” said Adomas Vitkauskas, Chief Product Officer at iDenfy. “The challenge in our industry is speed without risk. Compliance teams need fast answers from their verification data, and users' identities have to stay protected. iDenfy is one of the few identity verification providers to offer both in the market today.” iDenfy built the connector on dedicated endpoints with no access to personal data. They return only statuses, dates and other non-personal information, so names, document numbers and photos cannot be passed to Claude, and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening-related answers show statuses and detected flag types rather than matched names. The connector runs on a separate access token, isolated from iDenfy's core system interfaces. Businesses using iDenfy decide what Claude can see. They choose “View” or “Edit” access separately for each data area, iDenfy checks permissions on every request, and connections can be removed from the dashboard at any time. Unused connections expire automatically after seven days to ensure maximum security. The data itself is not new. What changes is how teams reach it. In many industries, asking an AI assistant is already replacing the routine of clicking through separate tools to find a single number. Compliance is different, because the data is too sensitive to hand over without safeguards. iDenfy’s connector brings this way of working to compliance teams with security built in. Private by Design In Gallagher's 2026 survey, 55% of businesses named data protection and privacy violations among the top perceived risks of AI adoption. “We knew from the start that no compliance team would connect an AI assistant to its verification data if that meant sending their customers' identities along with it,” Vitkauskas said. “Every team gets to the number it needs without waiting for someone to build a report,” Vitkauskas said. Finance can check how many verification units remain and when they are likely to run out, while product teams can see which document types have the lowest approval rates and where users drop off, and use that to improve the onboarding flow. From Documentation to Live Data In April, iDenfy launched its MCP server designed to connect to its compliance documentation, which brought its public API documentation into AI assistants to help developers integrate faster. That server had no access to accounts by design. The new connector goes a step further and works with each customer's own iDenfy account data. iDenfy’s Claude connector is available free of charge for all customers on every plan. iDenfy is also working on support for other major AI tools, including ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok. About iDenfy iDenfy is a global RegTech platform for identity verification, fraud prevention, and compliance (KYC, KYB, and AML), trusted by 1,000+ businesses worldwide. It has been ranked the #1 identity verification software on G2 for four consecutive years (2023-2026), holding a 4.9/5 rating across 200+ verified reviews. The platform combines patented 3D liveness detection and AI with 24/7 in-house human review, covering 200+ countries and 16,000+ document types, and its pay-only-for-approved-verifications model cuts onboarding costs by up to 70-75%. iDenfy is independently audited (ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, eIDAS) and backed by Lloyd's of London cyber insurance.

CBRE Launches Two Freehold GCB Sites at Camden Park with Guide Prices from S$26 Million
Two single-storey bungalows offered individually by Expression of Interest, with the option to acquire both adjoining freehold titles CBRE has been appointed as the exclusive marketing agent for the sale of 15 and 15A Camden Park, two freehold single-storey detached bungalows within the Camden Park Good Class Bungalow Area (GCBA) in District 11. Offered individually at guide prices of S$26 million and S$27 million respectively, the properties offer buyers the opportunity to acquire a more manageable GCB landholding in an established residential enclave near the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Held under separate freehold titles by the same owner, the properties also present a unique opportunity for those seeking a larger estate to acquire both sites together. The Expression of Interest (EOI) exercise closes at 5.00pm on 20 January 2027. Details of the two properties are as follows: 15 Camden Park carries a guide price of S$26 million (approximately S$1,982 psf on land area), while 15A Camden Park carries a guide price of S$27 million (approximately S$1,920 psf on land area). Offers may be submitted for either property or for both. Each site is improved with an existing single-storey detached bungalow on predominantly level land. Each property offers the potential to create a bespoke family residence on its own. Subject to prevailing planning requirements, site conditions and relevant approvals, the adjoining titles may also be acquired together as a combined 27,176 sq ft freehold holding, offering a considerably wider overall frontage. Pictured above: 15 Camden Park Pictured above: 15A Camden Park Rare Opportunity to Reside in Tightly Held Enclave Camden Park is a landed residential enclave of 26 homes in the Bukit Timah area. According to CBRE’s analysis of title records, landholdings within the enclave average approximately 22,605 sq ft. Adjoining GCB sites seldom come to the market together, particularly from a single owner. Growing Appeal of More Manageable GCB Landholdings At approximately 13,100 sq ft and 14,100 sq ft respectively, each property offers the prestige and privacy of a Good Class Bungalow Area address at a more manageable overall investment quantum than larger landholdings within the enclave. At guide prices of approximately S$1,920 to S$1,982 psf on land, the properties also present a compelling relative value proposition compared with selected prime GCB locations surrounding the Singapore Botanic Gardens. Together with the limited availability of freehold GCB sites near the Gardens, this offers buyers an attractive combination of location, exclusivity and investment flexibility. Rowena Chan, Senior Vice President of Residential Capital Markets, Singapore at CBRE, said: “We are seeing increasing interest from buyers who value the prestige and privacy of a Good Class Bungalow Area but are more selective about the amount of land they wish to acquire. A freehold site of approximately 13,000 to 14,000 sq ft offers considerable scope to still create a substantial family residence, while keeping the overall investment quantum more manageable.” She added: “Both 15 and 15A Camden Park stand independently as compelling GCB opportunities. Their adjoining location also provides an additional option for buyers seeking a larger landholding or wishing to establish neighbouring family homes.” A Home with a Distinguished Legacy The properties were formerly the residence of the late Mr Earnest Lau and Mdm Kwa Geok Lian, both respected educators who made significant contributions to Singapore’s education landscape. Location and Connectivity Located less than one kilometre from the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the properties offer convenient access to Orchard Road, the Central Business District and the wider Bukit Timah area. Botanic Gardens MRT Interchange Station, served by the Circle and Downtown Lines, is within walking distance. The area is also well served by established schools and a range of retail and lifestyle amenities. Interested parties may contact CBRE for further information or to arrange a viewing. About CBRE Group, Inc. CBRE Group, Inc.

Indorama Ventures showcases PET circularity at SX2026, highlights policy shifts and opportunities shaping the future of recycling
Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited, a global sustainable chemical company, is showcasing the possibilities of PET recycling at Sustainability Expo 2026 (SX2026), from 6–15 November at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, Bangkok. Alongside its exhibition, the company hosted a media briefing exploring how changing regulations are reshaping packaging and recycling and what they mean for Thai businesses. At Indorama Ventures’ booth in Hall 2, Better Living Zone, G Floor, visitors can follow the journey of used PET bottles to recycled raw materials through an interactive recycling exhibit. The RECO Collective display, featuring fashion from Thai brands CHANA, KH EDITIONS and APPEAL Summerwear, demonstrates how recycled PET, textile expertise and creative design can come together in distinctive, desirable clothing. The booth also introduces the company’s recycling operations and global footprint, as the world’s largest recycler of PET beverage bottles as well as showcasing innovation and partnerships that keep valuable materials in circulation. Connecting policy, collection and investment During the briefing, Dr. Anthony M. Watanabe, Chief Sustainability Officer of Indorama Ventures, explained that circular packaging globally is increasingly moving from voluntary commitments to binding requirements. Key trends include collection targets, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), deposit return systems, recycled-content requirements and Design for Recycling. The EU’s Single-Use Plastics Directive, adopted in 2019, already requires PET beverage bottles to contain at least 25% recycled plastic from 2025. Building on this framework, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation began applying in August 2026, introducing broader requirements for packaging recyclability and recycled content from 2030. Thailand is also developing the Draft Sustainable Packaging Management Act, proposing an EPR-based framework for packaging waste management, alongside work on PET Design for Recycling guidelines. Dr. Watanabe suggested that for Thai businesses, particularly exporters, these developments make early preparation essential. Companies need to understand requirements in their destination markets, review packaging design and work with suppliers on recycled-material quality and traceability. “Thailand has an opportunity to build on its existing recycling expertise and collection networks. By bringing governments, producers, collectors, recyclers and consumers together, we can keep more valuable materials in use and build a stronger foundation for investment” said Dr. Watanabe. With 20 recycling sites across multiple markets and over 180 billion post-consumer PET bottles recycled since 2011, Indorama Ventures is helping turn the ambition of a circular economy into practical solutions for customers and consumers. As interest in more sustainable and circular products grows, the company continues to connect used PET with valuable new applications. Clear, practical and consistent policy frameworks can build on this progress, supporting collection, encouraging investment and accelerating the transition to a more circular economy. The company contributes technical expertise to government and industry discussions on EPR readiness and packaging design, including input on draft PET Design for Recycling guidelines through FTI’s TIPMSE. Its recommendations address how material choices affect recycling compatibility and the quality of recovered PET. Internationally, Indorama Ventures also works with organizations including the Association of Plastic Recyclers (US) and Plastics Recyclers Europe, among others, connecting policy discussions with practical recycling experience. Advancing circular solutions across Asia-Pacific Dr. Watanabe also discussed ‘APAC Drive to 25,’ an initiative of the ESCAP Sustainable Business Network’s Circular Economy Task Force, which he chairs. The initiative seeks to strengthen enabling policies, mobilize investment, particularly in low- and middle-income economies, and identify circular projects with measurable outcomes. Its ambition reflects the region’s potential to address up to 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions through circular economy approaches. These efforts contribute to broader regional collaboration under the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN ESCAP). Visit Indorama Ventures’ booth at SX2026 through 15 November, from 10:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m., at Hall 2, Better Living Zone, G Floor, QSNCC.

Tampines Mall completes S$24 million asset enhancement initiative with 21 new brands and the East’s largest beauty cluster
Tampines Mall has completed its S$24 million Asset Enhancement Initiative, strengthening its retail and lifestyle offerings in the heart of Tampines. Tampines Mall, which has served the East since opening in 1995, is entering a new chapter following the completion of its S$24 million asset enhancement initiative (AEI) this December. The transformation introduces 21 new brands to Tampines Mall, including 15 making their debut in the East. Shoppers will experience a wider range of beauty, fashion, sports, jewellery, dining and lifestyle offerings, alongside refreshed spaces and upgraded facilities, in time for the festive season. The mall will also be home to the East’s largest cluster of 14 beauty retail brands. “Our focus is on giving shoppers greater choice. The refreshed Tampines Mall brings together a broad mix of premium, accessible-luxury and everyday brands, alongside dining, sports and lifestyle offerings and well-loved favourites. We want the mall to continue serving the diverse needs and preferences of the Tampines community while giving shoppers more to discover and enjoy,” said Adrian Lai, General Manager of Tampines Mall. A new beauty destination in the East At the heart of the refreshed tenant mix is a new 14-brand beauty cluster, bringing together established premium, accessible-luxury and everyday beauty names at Tampines Mall. The line-up includes Aesop, Bath & Body Works, CHANEL, DIOR, ELEMIS, Judydoll, Kiehl's, LANEIGE, L'Occitane, Rituals, Sephora, SHISEIDO, The Body Shop and YSL Beauty . Beyond the expanded beauty line-up, shoppers can also enjoy a range of personalised services and experiences.

L'Occitane offers its electronic Facial Gua Sha Experience in a private room, providing a more intimate treatment setting.

Beauty brands such as CHANEL , DIOR and SHISEIDO have been familiar to Tampines shoppers for years through store concessions. The refresh builds on that foundation, with the move into standalone boutiques reflecting how the beauty retail category has evolved - allowing these brands to offer a broader range of products, services and experiences. They are joined by new-to-Tampines Mall names such as ELEMIS , Judydoll , Rituals and YSL Beauty , ensuring the new beauty mix speaks to every shopper’s lifestyle and aspirations.

Joining these new concepts are IM QALB by Pun Im , a casual Thai-Malay restaurant inspired by the bold flavours of Southern Thailand with a Tampines Mall-exclusive menu; famous Zhejiang cuisine restaurant LONGJING ; and RUXU, a modern Guangzhou dessert shop and bakery café, which made its international debut at Funan in December 2025 and has opened its second Singapore outlet at Tampines Mall. These new arrivals complement Tampines Mall’s existing and other more recent F&B offerings, including halal-certified Paris Baguette and Wingstop ,as well as speciality coffee shop Alchemist ,which offers quality coffee and tea-infused blends in a warm, thoughtfully designed space. A broader retail and lifestyle offering Beyond beauty and dining, the AEI has expanded shoppers’ choices across fashion, sports, jewellery and lifestyle. The refreshed retail mix brings together jewellery and fashion names, including Braun Büffel, CC Primo, Goldheart, Meilleur Moment, SK Gold and Vincent Watch , with their contemporary stores complementing the mall’s broader aesthetic upgrades, offering shoppers a sleek and modern environment to immerse in. Well-loved sports and lifestyle offerings such as ASICS , Decathlon, Running Lab and The Boarding Gate give shoppers more options for their sporting and active lifestyle needs. Decathlon makes its return to Tampines Mall with an expansive 18,000-squarefoot Experience Store, offering more than 6,000 sporting essentials across over 60 sports. Shoppers can try out selected gear at dedicated test zones, with services including basic bicycle maintenance, racket restringing and re-gripping, as well as Decathlon’s Buy Back programme. Together, the expanded mix serves different shopper needs while retaining familiar brands that have long been part of the Tampines community. The full line-up is set out in Annex A. Refreshed spaces, rooted in Tampines As part of its transformation, Tampines Mall has rejuvenated its spaces and facilities to create a more contemporary and comfortable environment for shoppers. The mall's familiar Tampines tree motif has also been reinterpreted through the refreshed brand visuals. Inspired by the neighbourhood's architectural language and everyday surroundings, shoppers will be greeted by the tree motif across spaces, connecting the mall's updated identity with its longstanding roots in the Tampines community. The new design combines a more premium visual direction with the familiarity of the neighbourhood, reflecting Tampines Mall's evolution while remaining rooted in the everyday experiences of its shoppers.
