Plasmatreat Introduces HydroPlasma®: A Sustainable Breakthrough in High-Performance Surface Cleaning
STEINHAGEN, Germany, July 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Plasmatreat GmbH, the global leader in atmospheric plasma technology, has unveiled HydroPlasma ®, an innovative, eco-friendly solution for ultra-precise cleaning of glass and metal surfaces. Combining the proven effectiveness of Openair-Plasma ® with the reactive power of ionized water, HydroPlasma ® sets a new benchmark for removing stubborn organic and inorganic contaminants, including fingerprints, oils, salts, and grease, without chemicals. Revolutionizing Cleanliness in High-Tech Industries and Processes In sectors like automotive, electronics, aerospace, and medical manufacturing, even microscopic contaminants can compromise adhesion in critical processes such as bonding, coating, printing or sealing. Traditional cleaning methods often rely on solvents or wet-chemical treatments, but HydroPlasma ® delivers a chemical-free, sustainable alternative using only compressed air, electricity, and water. This advanced technology not only enhances cleaning efficiency but also supports environmentally responsible production. How HydroPlasma ® Works: Science Meets Sustainability HydroPlasma ® 's patented process injects water into a plasma jet, where it ionizes into a highly reactive cleaning stream. A precision nozzle directs this stream onto surfaces, dissolving residues with a detergent-like effect—no harsh chemicals required. Unlike conventional methods, HydroPlasma ®: Complementing Openair-Plasma ® for Unmatched Flexibility While Openair-Plasma ® remains ideal for light organic contaminants (dust, oils), HydroPlasma ® extends capabilities to challenging inorganic residues. Together, they offer a VOC-free, scalable cleaning suite for industries demanding zero-compromise cleanliness. Applications Across Industries HydroPlasma ® integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, including automotive manufacturing, electronics, and precision optics. Its gentle yet powerful cleaning is ideal for: Sustainability at the Core By eliminating solvents and reducing waste, HydroPlasma ® helps manufacturers cut carbon footprints while maintaining workplace safety and process reliability. What is Openair-Plasma ®? Plasma is also known as the fourth state of matter, alongside solid, liquid and gas. When additional energy is added to a gas, it becomes ionized and enters the energetic plasma state. Whether plastic, metal, glass or paper, plasma technology is used to change the properties of the surface according to the requirements of the process.

Agoda Ranks Asia's Most Affordable Summer Destinations for Hoteliers to Manage Yields from Deals
Surabaya tops the list for value-driven travelers based on the lowest average room rates across Asia's top destinations SINGAPORE, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With value-driven travel gaining momentum across Asia, digital travel platform Agoda revealed its rankings of Asia's most affordable summer destinations led by Surabaya, Indonesia where average room rates are $35 per night*. This presents hoteliers with new opportunities to capture sustained demand and maximize returns even when offering competitive deals. Other top-value destinations include Tirupati (India), Hat Yai (Thailand), Dalat (Vietnam), Iloilo (Philippines), Kuching (Malaysia), Nagoya (Japan), Kaohsiung (Taiwan), and Daejeon (South Korea). Affordability is shaping summer travel choices This value-driven mindset is especially pronounced among millennials and Gen Z, who are increasingly prioritizing affordability in their summer travel plans. Both demographics share similar habits when it comes to budgeting for travel, particularly for accommodation. More than half of Gen Z travelers (56%) aim to keep their nightly stay below USD 50 per person, a preference that's also common among millennials, though at a slightly lower rate (44%). Beyond price, these younger travelers are also seeking experiences that offer meaningful value, making affordable yet enriching destinations especially appealing. Yield management opportunities accommodation partners can benefit from Affordability doesn't necessarily mean lower yields. Using Agoda's dynamic pricing and tech solutions, hoteliers can look to capitalize on different types of traveler demand as well as upsell local experiences and bundle value-added services. For example, partners can create summer budget packages that combine multi-location room rates with curated activities such as food tours or cultural excursions, increasing both booking value and guest satisfaction. Offering flexible cancellation policies and diverse payment options can better position hoteliers to meet the expectations of today's digitally savvy travelers. This approach is likely to become increasingly relevant as online sales are projected to account for 75% of Asia's travel revenue by 2029, according to Statista. Alongside catering to budget travel, hoteliers and accommodation partners can turn Agoda's data-driven insights into tangible strategies that boost bookings and drive revenue by tapping into other key motivators – culinary experiences and solo adventures: "Today's travelers are increasingly prioritizing value-driven experiences, particularly among younger, price-conscious demographics," said Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President of Supply, Agoda. "For hotels and airlines, this presents a powerful opportunity to engage guests across the full travel journey by delivering personalized, data-informed value that drives both loyalty and repeat bookings." Agoda's data-driven approach gives accommodation partners the tools to move beyond simply offering the "best deals." Offering dynamic pricing, packaging, and targeted marketing on the Agoda platform can help partners turn demand for affordable destinations into higher yields and stronger guest loyalty. With over 5 million holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities, Agoda provides endless possibilities for creating unforgettable travel experiences.

VEOCEL™'s Lyocell Fibers for Enhanced Cleaning Take Center Stage at World of Wipes 2025
LENZING, Austria, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At the upcoming World of Wipes® (WOW) 2025 in Columbus, Ohio, Lenzing's flagship specialty nonwovens brand, VEOCEL™, will introduce VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning, a new innovation designed to support the next generation of high-performance surface cleaning and disinfecting wipes. Aligned with VEOCEL™' s innovation theme, "Unleash Possibilities", this breakthrough is designed to inspire Lenzing's partners to rethink product design through the use of advanced cellulosic fibers. Derived from wood-based [1] raw materials, they offer an alternative to fossil-based synthetics and contribute to the reduction of avoidable plastic [2] waste in wipe applications. Delivering Enhanced Cleaning Performance [3] VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning are engineered to improve wiping performance through stronger and denser fabrics and enhance the end-user experience. These fibers ensure even liquid distribution, helping to reduce excess dripping and provide greater control during cleaning. Compared to fossil-based alternatives, each wipe can clean up to twice the surface area, offering significantly improved disinfecting efficacy. A key factor contributing to the performance of these new VEOCEL™ fibers is their compatibility with active or functional ingredients commonly used in disinfectants such as quaternary ammonium compounds (quats). While many other cellulosic fibers require additional chemical treatments to achieve similar functionality, VEOCEL™ fibers for Enhanced Cleaning are designed through careful selection of raw materials and optimized production methods to exhibit minimal and consistent binding to active ingredients. This seemingly simple yet impactful advancement in fiber properties allows VEOCEL™'s cellulosic fibers to be used in applications previously dominated by plastic-based materials. In addition, these fibers provide excellent wet strength and form stability [4], maintaining structural integrity even at lower basis weights. Altogether, these characteristics make them exceptionally well-suited for demanding cleaning environments—from household and personal care to institutional and industrial settings. All VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers are wood-based [5] and biodegradable [6], produced in a closed-loop, resource-efficient process with low emissions to air and water [7]. The Enhanced Cleaning variant maintains these high environmental standards while delivering superb technical performance. "With the introduction of our VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning, we are unleashing new possibilities for our customers to choose cellulosic fibers in disinfecting wipes, empowering excellent performance while advancing their commitment to environmental responsibility," said Patricia A. Sargeant, Executive Vice President Nonwovens at Lenzing AG. Discover More at WOW 2025 Lenzing will showcase VEOCEL™ Lyocell fibers for Enhanced Cleaning at WOW 2025, July 21–24, at Tabletop #405. Attendees can learn how this innovation supports hygiene, efficiency, and responsible material use. , Innovation Project Manager Nonwovens, presented the fiber's development, performance testing and real-world applications in an INDA-hosted pre-show webinar titled "Advanced Cellulosic Solution for Disinfection Wipes".
