This innovative solution will help cities from drowning in cardboard waste

SAN JOSE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NEXT Future Transportation Inc. ("NEXT"), The world's leading automated transportation innovator for Smart and Connected Cities is responding to and initiating its own response to the global single-use e-Commerce packaging waste challenge.

Online retail is only going to get bigger. The world's largest online retailer sold 100 million products last year. Online retail grew by 16 percent last year in the U.S., while all retail rose 3.8 percent. E-Commerce companies use USD $20 billion worth of corrugated materials per year and the market for e-commerce packaging is forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 14.3 percent through 2022.

According to Fast Company, about 165 billion packages are shipped in the U.S. each year, with the cardboard used roughly equating to more than 1 billion trees. At the same time, retailers want to ensure that goods arrive in perfect condition and that results in over-packaging. Consequently both shoppers and retailers are starting to wake up to the packaging issue. Consumers are sharing feelings of guilt, frustration and sheer embarrassment of recycling all those boxes as part of the "cardboard economy".

Left without any alternatives, e-commerce companies were forced to use cardboard inefficiently, and most transferred the recycling responsibility to customers. Meanwhile, the recycling industry is sending an unprecedented amount of e-commerce packaging materials to landfills.

"Before the e-commerce era, most of the product packaging was collected in a centralized way by retailers, however, today we're experiencing a 40 percent increase in corrugated containers in the U.S. curbside recycling system," said Tommaso Gecchelin, Co-Founder and CTO of NEXT.

Brand-owners, retailers and consumers alike all need to take responsibility for reducing the packaging impact on the environment.

NEXT's groundbreaking Modular Mobile Locker solution currently offers the only solution to the e-commerce industry's growing packaging quandary. Built on NEXT's patented modular transportation platform, the last mile e-commerce delivery solution is an automated electric vehicle system that is designed to be customizable and scalable for a wide range of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) applications.

'It's expected that the online trade's decentralization will drive more packaging out to consumers. However, that shouldn't mean that we should choking on waste," said Emmanuele Spera, CEO of NEXT. "Our patented Modular Mobile Locker delivery solution will allow e-commerce companies to deliver their parcels to customers without additional cardboard packaging," said Spera.

NEXT's "Package Free Shopping" distribution solution will empower e-commerce customers who are supporting the reduction of waste, pollution and the overall environmental impact.

"E-commerce is a relatively new delivery method, and with all its new systems it takes time to work out the challenges and opportunities. Therefore, opportunities to capitalize on further development of the packaging supply chain for e-commerce and subsequently omni-commerce solutions will come only through industry collaboration and transparency," said Sven Hackmann, EVP at NEXT.

NEXT Future Transportation aims to reduce environmental and social impacts of the global e-commerce industry, while focusing on its own ability to deliver quality products to consumers in cities around the globe.

Recent Social Unrest Inspires ‘Fear Google’ Artist to ‘Grave Rob’ Muhammad Ali, Bruce Lee for Work of Art

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- A ground-breaking work of art by the "Fear Google" artist XVALA is set to be debuted on August 19 during the March on Google (#MarchOnGoogle) in Mountain View, California. Dubbed "The Diversity Belt," XVALA plans to wear his latest work of art in public at the March On Google to publicly share his point of view regarding Americans' First Amendment rights.

"The Diversity Belt" is a championship style belt emblazoned with the slogan "The Greatest of All Time" or "G.O.A.T." The belt includes items collected from the grave sites of Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee that are affixed next to photographs of the icons, along with a portrait of the artist, XVALA, in the center. The Belt was created to spark peaceful debate over American's first amendment rights to express diverse ideas and thoughts and Google's involvement in suppressing those ideas and thoughts.

"Google demonstrates a monopolistic power to censor all," said XVALA.

"The Diversity Belt" is designed to address America's growing cultural divide in regards to diversity and the rights of citizen's to express their beliefs on diversity.

"By manipulating search results to reflect their own political biases and creating a fear based work environment, our first amendment rights are slowly being deteriorated by Google," said XVALA.

In recent news, Google terminated a young engineer for writing a memo that expressed his views about Google's political bias silencing opposing opinions within an environment that claims to accept diversity in world views.

"The Diversity Belt," as an expression of positivity, aims to remind Google that solutions come in many forms if you are willing to seek them out.

"I am like Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali, they are some of the greatest fighters of all time and I am the greatest fighter against new forms of censorship," said XVALA.

XVALA is a world famous artist who is controversial both inside and outside the art world for his "Fear Google" campaign and his stance on the loss of privacy. XVALA recently made international headlines for announcing "No Delete," an exhibition of hacked images of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton's nude photos, showcasing our loss of control in the internet age.

The belt will not be for sale; as of now as it is strictly meant to spark peaceful debate over citizen's first amendment right to express diverse ideas and thoughts without fear of censorship.

For more information contact XVALA at (510) 833-6760 or visit http://www.xvala.com/.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The new KSI-1700 UB SecuGen Keyboard from Key Source International (KSI) offers integrated, foolproof biometric security in a premium, multipurpose device. An irrefutable, secure logon solution, the pro-grade KSI-1700 UB features the SecuGen U20, FBI certified FAP 20 fingerprint sensor and low-profile keys for easy cleaning and a superior input experience.

No need to sacrifice desktop space with a separate biometric device - the maintenance-free SecuGen U20 fingerprint sensor is embedded right into the keyboard's innovative mix-and-match "technology top strip," conveniently positioned for quick and incontrovertible user authentication.

"We chose SecuGen integration not only due to the company's strong reputation as an industry leader," said KSI President & CEO, Philip Bruno, "but because our customers are looking for cost-effective, top-performing products that withstand the rigors of commercial use. The U20 is a no-fail, world-class optical sensor offering high quality image capture, fast user authentication, and key compatibilities to our client base."

With employee fraud on the rise, KSI's new SecuGen Keyboard plays an important role in any identity management program. Public sector customers rely upon the keyboard's FIPS 201 compliance for secure government logical access control. Other typical applications include airport security, banking and check cashing workstations, healthcare, and any high-traffic commercial operation where the highest level of desktop security is essential. The KSI SecuGen Keyboard offers the convenience of Microsoft Biometric Framework compatibility.

KSI technology reflects the company's pioneering spirit and strong technical expertise honed over the past three decades.

As a mentor to young lawyers and law students, she helps to guide and navigate their budding legal careers.

Crystal has told the Silicon Valley Business Journal that her little girls Frankie and Toni are her inspiration and motivate her to contribute to the community both professionally and personally. "They inspire me to strive to make the world a better and more caring place," she said.

"Crystal's approach and dedication to her clients and community have always been top notch. She practices law the way it was meant to be practiced," said Daniel W. Ballesteros, Managing Shareholder of the firm. "Please join us in congratulating Crystal. Her selection to the Business Journal's 40 Under 40 is well-deserved."
