Heaven Gifts Releases Latest Sustainability Report
LONDON, June 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Heaven Gifts, a global vaping industry leader, releases its 2024 Sustainability Report, showcasing significant progress across five focuses during the past year — Sustainable Business and Ethical Governance, Product Safety and User Satisfaction, Climate Action, Employee Wellbeing, and Community Engagement. In the Report, Heaven Gifts announces a sustainability milestone that in its first-ever assessment by EcoVadis in December 2024, the company was scored 70 — outperforming 90% of all evaluated companies worldwide. Heaven Gifts owns and operates two of the world's leading vape brands ELFBAR and LOST MARY, and EcoVadis is a globally recognized sustainability ratings platform. Committed to compliance and self-regulation Heaven Gifts prioritizes integrity in its global expansion and advocates for the industry's self-regulation. In October 2024, the company's UK Advisory Board was established, bringing together experts from various sectors to provide strategic guidance for its compliant and sustainable development. Heaven Gifts was also the industry's first to sign the IBVTA (Independent British Vape Trade Association) Code of Conduct, reinforcing its dedication to accurate flavor descriptors and minimizing its appeal to unintended user groups. With responsible marketing and sales principles at the core, the company introduced a retail licensing system, which is now considered for legislation in the UK. It has also called for packaging and flavor standardization to stay ahead of the changing regulatory landscape. The brands' recycling programme "GreenAwareness" for discarded vapes has seen an outcome. As of December 2024, it had collected nearly 240,000 used vapes in the UK alone, weighing 7 tons. Consistently upholding product safety In 2024, Heaven Gifts invested RMB 40 million in its Innovation Lab, which now covers 3,000 square meters, and is equipped with over 350 sets of facilities, and staffed by some 100 experts.

NAL transfers environment-friendly solar absorber coating technology to Mysuru startup
National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL) announced the successful technology transfer of its next-generation solar absorber coating, NALSUN-NG, to Helix Solar Private Limited, an emerging clean-tech startup based in Mysuru. On June 23, NAL said the technology enables domestic manufacturing of flat plate solar water heaters, potentially reducing monthly imports of five to six lakh evacuated tube collectors. NALSUN-NG is a breakthrough graphene oxide-based solar selective coating, specifically engineered for photothermal applications, such as solar water heaters. Developed entirely in-house by NAL, it is the first eco-friendly, water-based coating of its kind in India. Unlike traditional coatings that rely on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and flammable solvents, NALSUN-NG uses only non-toxic, RoHS- and REACH-compliant inorganic materials. Most current commercial coatings use capital-intensive physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques, or contain harmful VOCs. In contrast, NALSUN-NG requires minimal investment in infrastructure, has no flammable components, and poses no effluent treatment challenges making it ideal for local manufacturing and rural deployment. The coating has undergone rigorous testing aligned with ASTM and International Energy Agency (IEA) standards. It is certified by NABL-accredited laboratories, and its intellectual property is protected under Indian and international patents. With a lifespan exceeding 20 years, NALSUN-NG is trademarked and has already been successfully commercialised. This transfer marks the second successful licensing of the NALSUN-NG technology, following its earlier adoption by an industry partner where it has already been commercialised and integrated into solar thermal systems.
