  • Splash Partners with Natur-Tec to Pioneer New Sustainable Garment Packaging Solution
    Splash Partners With Natur-Tec To Pioneer New Sustainable Garment Packaging Solution October 11, 2018 DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Splash, a prominent fashion retailer in the Middle East and India, and a brand owned by the Landmark Group, has partnered with Natur-Tec, a business unit of Northern Technologies International Corporation (“NTIC”) (Nasdaq: NTIC), to pioneer a new sustainable biopolymer-based packaging solution in the Middle East and South Asian region. The brand’s 80 million polybags a year have been replaced with “bioplastics” - a biobased and compostable plastic alternative to conventional plastics. The biobased carbon is helping reduce 298 Tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year. At the end of useful life, these eco-friendly bags are safely and completely digested (biodegraded) by macro- and micro-organisms in natural composting and soil disposal. This approach reduces the carbon footprint of the company’s packaging and provides for an environmentally responsible end-of-life through composting. The company’s new approach is in line with the Circular Economy model and eliminates leakage into the ocean environment and landfills. Use of conventional plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene are facing harsh societal and political criticism due to environmental and waste- disposal concerns. As widely reported in print, electronic, and social media, these non-degradable plastics find their way into the oceans and negatively affect marine eco system and habitats. As a result, demand for certified biodegradable and compostable packaging is expected to become the norm. “This alliance promises to bring significant benefits to both parties," said Mr.

  • Press Release Max Hypermarket India Limited
    Press Release Max Hypermarket India Limited April 07, 2021 Ratings Amount Facilities/Instruments Ratings Rating Action (Rs. crore) CARE BBB-; Negative Reaffirmed; Long Term Bank Facilities 115.63 (Triple B Minus; Outlook: Outlook revised Negative ) from Stable 115.63 Total Bank Facilities (Rs. One Hundred Fifteen Crore and Sixty-Three Lakhs Only) Details of instruments/facilities in Annexure-1 Detailed Rationale & Key Rating Drivers The revision in the rating outlook of Max Hypermarket India Private Limited (MHIPL) from ‘Stable’ to ‘Negative’ reflects the expectation of longer than anticipated time for the company to turn around operations to generate profits and the likelihood of restrictions in various cities amid a second wave of COVID19. The rating continues to derive strength from the company being part of Landmark group with experienced and resourceful promoters, their proven and continued financial support to fund capex and losses. The rating also takes into account the partnership with Netherlands based retail group Spar International, well placed location of its stores and synergies derived from group companies. CARE also takes note of the turnaround in store level PBT during FY20 before the company’s operations were disrupted by COVID19 pandemic. Weak standalone financial risk profile with the company continuing to make cash losses, geographic concentration risk and intense competition from organized, unorganized and e-commerce players continue to constrain the rating. Outlook: Negative The revision of outlook from ‘Stable’ to ‘Negative’ is on account of the expectation of longer than anticipated time for the company to turn around operations to generate profits and the likelihood of restrictions in various cities amid a second wave of COVID19 pandemic.
