Springville, UT Thursday Oct 8, 2026 @ 3:00 PM Eastern — As summer gives way to fall and daily schedules become more structured, ORGANA is encouraging consumers to use the change of seasons as an opportunity to return to simple, consistent wellness habits. Fall often brings a shift in routines. Vacations wind down, school and work schedules settle in, temperatures cool and the busy holiday season begins to approach. For ORGANA, the transition is a reminder that wellness routines don't need to be complicated to become part of everyday life. One area that can receive less attention as temperatures fall is hydration. While people often think about water, electrolytes and minerals during hot summer months and outdoor activities, ORGANA believes attention to hydration and minerals can be part of a year-round wellness routine. "Fall is a great time to look at the little things you do every day and get back into a routine," said Larry Mills, CEO of ORGANA. "Our philosophy has always been to make wellness simple. You don't need to completely change your life when the seasons change. Consistency with a few everyday habits can go a long way." That philosophy is reflected across ORGANA's product portfolio, including its Pomegranate Mineral Drink. ORGANA Plant-Derived Trace Minerals are sourced from an ancient mineral deposit in Utah and provide a concentrated blend of naturally occurring trace minerals. The liquid format is designed to make the product easy to incorporate into an existing daily routine. ORGANA's Pomegranate Mineral Drink combines its plant-derived mineral complex with pomegranate flavor in a ready-to-use liquid format, providing another option for consumers looking to make minerals part of their everyday routine. The company's broader wellness portfolio also includes Liquid Oxygen 125 PPM and Essiac Tea, reflecting ORGANA's focus on straightforward products that can fit into different lifestyles and routines. As consumers transition into fall, ORGANA recommends focusing on habits that are realistic enough to maintain throughout the season. Drinking water regularly, paying attention to hydration even when temperatures are cooler, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, staying active and establishing simple daily routines can provide a more practical approach than trying to overhaul everything at once. For ORGANA, the seasonal message is also a reminder that wellness isn't limited to a particular time of year. The habits that receive attention during summer can remain part of everyday routines throughout fall and into winter. "Summer makes people naturally think about hydration," Mills said. "When the weather cools down, it's easy to stop thinking about it. We want to remind people that hydration and minerals don't have an offseason." Consumers can explore and purchase ORGANA products through the company's Amazon storefront and on OneLavi.com. To learn more about the company's wellness philosophy visit organa.net.

Hong Kong, Oct 8, 2026 - Eco Expo Asia 2026, jointly organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, co-organised by the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), will be held from 26 to 29 October at AsiaWorld-Expo. HKTDC Associate Executive Director Silas Chu said: "Last month, the Hong Kong SAR Government unveiled the Policy Address and first Five-Year Plan, setting out a vision for building a green and liveable city. Across the region and beyond, China, the European Union and many ASEAN economies are actively pursuing carbon-neutrality or net-zero emission targets, and driving decarbonisation through regulations and industrial policies. Green transformation has shifted from policy aspiration to market rule. As global demand for ESG and green solutions continues to grow, Eco Expo Asia will bring together green technologies, innovative solutions, and global business opportunities to help enterprises capitalise on the new prospects emerging from this transition." HKTDC Associate Executive Director Silas Chu says that Hong Kong's first Five-Year Plan and the latest Policy Address have set out a number of policy directions on environmental protection, underscoring the importance of building a green and liveable city and developing the green energy industry. He adds that this year's Eco Expo Asia will echo current global trends and policy directions, showcasing the latest environmental products and technologies across four thematic areas. He added, "This year's Eco Expo Asia brings together over 340 exhibitors from 16 countries and regions, including first-time participants from Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, highlighting the Expo’s growing international reach. Some 200 key officials and representatives of semi-official organisations from the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Belt and Road countries, and ASEAN, will attend and tour the Expo, further promoting cross-regional cooperation and exchange." Speaking at the press conference, the Deputy Director of the Environmental Protection Department of the HKSAR Government, Dr Vanessa Au, expressed: "The 21st edition of Eco Expo Asia, held under the theme 'Connecting the World for a Sustainable Future', dovetails with the HKSAR Government's First Five-Year Plan, and implements the Policy Address precisely aligning with the National 15th Five-Year Plan. It underscores our commitment to advancing Hong Kong's green transformation, fostering green innovation, seizing the opportunities presented by the low-carbon economy, creating economic benefits and enhancing citizen well-being. Key highlights of this year's expo include the HKSAR Government booth, the Environmental Campaign Committee Pavilion, the Hong Kong Pavilion and the newly established comprehensive experience zone for green technology. This year during the expo, the Environment and Ecology Bureau and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China will, for the first time, co-host the Belt and Road Green Innovation Conference in Hong Kong. In addition, the Environmental Protection Department, in association with the Belt and Road Initiative International Green Development Coalition and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, will jointly organise the second edition of the 'Green Silk Road' International Training Programme. This expo brings together stakeholders from all sectors, uniting our efforts to advance global carbon neutrality and sustainable development." Silas Chu, HKTDC Associate Executive Director (centre); Dr Vanessa Au, Deputy Director of Environmental Protection (left); and Jack Wong, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd (right), attend today's press conference. Businesses show continued strong confidence in Hong Kong as an ESG business hub The HKTDC has also released the "HKTDC ESG Index 2026". The latest ESG Index stood at 67.3, up from 64.2 last year and well above the neutral threshold of 50, reflecting the continued strengthening of corporate confidence in Hong Kong's role as an ESG hub. The survey also showed that 93% of respondents have integrated ESG into their overall business decision-making processes, while the share of businesses sourcing or selling ESG-related products and services rose from 29% in 2025 to 46% in 2026. Silas said, "The rise in the ESG index reflects the continued strengthening of global businesses' confidence in Hong Kong's role as an ESG business hub. Results further demonstrate that ESG is increasingly being built into business decisions on investment, sourcing, and supply chain management, fuelling steady growth in demand for ESG products, services and solutions. ESG has evolved beyond a compliance requirement into a source of competitive advantage for companies." With strong demand for ESG solutions, Hong Kong is well-positioned to unlock commercial opportunities across banking and finance, professional services, and innovation and technology. In terms of technological innovation, surveyed businesses identified the most impactful Hong Kong digital and ESG platforms for boosting performance as sustainable supply chain platforms (45%), AI analytics (37%), and cloud data reporting (30%). On supply chain management, respondents most valued Hong Kong’s ESG certification services (50%), followed by transparency and traceability tools (41%), and ESG audit and risk analysis solutions (36%). Pavilion line-up expands with ASEAN and Qinghai Pavilion debuts Eco Expo Asia brings together green innovations and technologies from around the world, offering the industry a platform to exchange ideas and explore new business opportunities. This year, the number of participating pavilions has risen to 18, covering a wider spread of regions. On the Chinese Mainland front, Qinghai Province makes its first appearance with a pavilion of its own, joined by the nine Chinese Mainland cities in the Greater Bay Area, Macao, Guangxi, Hunan, Shanghai, and Nanjing in Jiangsu Province. Among the international group pavilions, the headline addition is a new ASEAN Pavilion, featuring 13 green technology companies from eight member countries, including Singapore, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam. An ASEAN networking reception on the opening day will further strengthen business ties with the region. In addition, Korea Institute of Fusion Energy (KFE), bringing two companies, will showcase their marine environmental technologies and waste gas treatment equipment. The US State of Illinois returns after several years, while Canada, Italy, and the Netherlands maintain their regular presence. Regarding Hong Kong exhibitors, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation once again leads 11 start-ups to the Expo to showcase local green innovation achievements. The Hong Kong Pavilion, supported by the Environmental Protection Department and coordinated by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, is back with 19 local exhibitors presenting a diverse range of eco-friendly products, technologies and solutions. Rounding off the home-grown line-up, the HKSAR Government booth, featuring 11 bureaux and departments including the Environment and Ecology Bureau, and the Environmental Campaign Committee Pavilion, will highlight the city's latest work in environmental protection and green development. The Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation will lead 11 start-ups to participate in the Expo, including CNAE China Company Limited, which showcases a high-speed electric bike powered by sodium battery. As a member of the HKSAR Government’s GoGlobal Task Force, the HKTDC will set up a GoGlobal Connect Zone, helping Chinese Mainland environmental enterprises tap international markets through Hong Kong's professional services. A seminar on going global rounds out the programme, sharing practical experiences in expanding overseas. Four thematic areas spotlight green innovation Aligned with global trends and policy directions, this year's Expo centres on four areas: Green Energy in Motion, Frontier Green Tech, Building for a Greener City and From Waste to Worth, showcasing the latest innovative green technologies, products, and solutions. Under "Green Energy in Motion", the Expo features green energy solutions spanning the maritime, land transport and aviation sectors.

EcoCeres Ltd. showcases Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), two advanced renewable fuels made from waste-based feedstocks. Under the "Frontier Green Tech" theme, around 30 start-ups and university spin-offs will show how research achievements have been transformed into practical environmental applications. Among them, first-time exhibitor Stellerus Technology Limited (Booth: 6-D27) will display the Multi-Spectral Imaging Carbon Observatory (MUSICO), the world's first lightweight, high-resolution, high-precision synergistic greenhouse gases observatory, which has already been deployed on China's Tiangong space station.
