  • XCF Global and FlyORO Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Develop Global SAF Supply Chain Solutions

    XCF Global and FlyORO Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Develop Global SAF Supply Chain Solutions

    HOUSTON, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2025 / XCF Global, Inc. (“XCF”) (Nasdaq:SAFX), a key player in decarbonizing the aviation industry through Sustainable Aviation Fuel (“SAF”), and FlyORO Technologies Pte. Ltd. (“FlyORO”), a global leader in digital modular blending solutions for SAF, today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”).

    Under the MOU, XCF and FlyORO will explore the creation of a global partnership to help solve one of aviation’s biggest bottlenecks: SAF supply chain and blending inefficiencies. As most blending occurs upstream at production facilities, there are limitations to flexibility and scalability. Midstream and downstream infrastructure such as terminals or airports often lack the equipment and certification processes needed for blending. Together, XCF and FlyORO intend to co-develop an end-to-end solution to enable the ready uplift of SAF. By combining XCF’s expertise in SAF production infrastructure with FlyORO’s patented modular blending technology – AlphaLite™ – designed for flexible deployment either on-airport or pre-airport, the collaboration aims to support cost-effective, compliant, and scalable SAF integration into the global aviation fuel system.

    The urgency to deploy scalable SAF infrastructure has never been greater. By 2030, the global SAF market is projected to exceed $25 billion, with worldwide demand expected to surpass 5.5 billion gallons. As this demand accelerates, next-generation blending solutions such as FlyORO’s AlphaLite™ system, an innovative, flexible, and low-CAPEX technology, will be critical to bridging production with airports and fleets worldwide.

    This potential partnership aligns directly with XCF’s international expansion strategy announced in June 2025, under which the company is pursuing a capital-efficient, modular approach to global SAF deployment through regionally tailored partnerships. The potential collaboration with FlyORO would be expected to strengthen XCF’s ability to deliver end-to-end SAF solutions, from production through blending and distribution, across the world.

    Mihir Dange, CEO of XCF Global commented:

    “This partnership has the potential to rewire how the aviation industry thinks about SAF deployment. Blending isn’t just a technical step, it’s a critical piece of the infrastructure puzzle that determines how fast SAF can scale. By combining FlyORO’s cutting-edge blending technology with XCF’s global strategy, we’re creating a pathway to accelerate adoption, reduce costs, and unlock new growth opportunities for investors and stakeholders alike.”

    Damian Mc Loughlin, Chief Commercial Officer of FlyORO commented:

    “FlyORO was founded with the mission to eliminate barriers to SAF adoption. Our modular AlphaLite™ system makes blending more flexible, scalable, and affordable. Working with XCF, we can expand this vision globally, bringing smarter logistics and faster SAF deployment to airports and airlines around the world.”

    The non-binding MOU reflects a shared vision to accelerate SAF adoption and position both companies as leaders in clean aviation infrastructure. Execution is subject to due diligence, technical validation, and final agreements.

    About XCF Global, Inc.

    XCF Global, Inc. is a pioneering sustainable aviation fuel company dedicated to accelerating the aviation industry’s transition to net-zero emissions. XCF is developing and operating state-of-the-art clean fuel SAF production facilities engineered to the highest levels of compliance, reliability, and quality. The company is actively building partnerships across the energy and transportation sectors to accelerate the adoption of SAF on a global scale. XCF is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and trades under the ticker, SAFX. Current outstanding shares: ~153.2 million; <20% free float (as of October 1, 2025).

    About FlyORO Technologies Pte. Ltd.

    FlyORO Technologies Pte. Ltd. provides the world’s first revolutionary, modular, on-demand blending service of SAF and jet fuel to enable aviation on its emissions reduction journey. As an enabler of the SAF supply chain, the company offers flyers the flexibility to align their ESG targets per flight rather than be succumbed to fixed blend ratios and bulk commitments upfront.

  • SMX and Tradepro Advance “Material Efficiency” in Plastics Recycling

    SMX and Tradepro Advance “Material Efficiency” in Plastics Recycling

    Integrating molecular traceability into recycled plastics to deliver transparent, auditable, and regulatory-ready reporting-to bridge the recycled content gap, lower costs for American companies, and empower new generations of consumers to choose sustainable products.

    NEW YORK, NY AND MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2025 / SMX (Security Matters) PLC (NASDAQ:SMX), a pioneer in digitizing physical objects for a circular economy, and Tradepro Inc., a U.S.-based leader in plastics recycling and distribution, today announced a strategic collaboration to accelerate the adoption of sustainable plastics across multiple applications. By combining SMX’s molecular traceability platform with Tradepro’s extensive recycling and distribution network, the two companies aim to deliver a new level of material efficiency and supply chain reliability to the U.S. plastics market.

    Bridging the Recycled Content Gap

    The collaboration is designed to bridge the demand gap for recycled content across a wide spectrum of plastics-not limited to PET-ensuring U.S. companies can access verifiable recycled materials for packaging, manufacturing, and consumer goods. With SMX’s molecular markers embedded at the material level, brand owners, regulators, and auditors would gain trusted, auditable data on recycled content percentages and product origin.

    Unlocking Efficiency and Reducing Foreign Dependency

    Beyond sustainability, the collaboration is being positioned as a cost-saving and efficiency driver for American companies. By enabling localized sourcing and transparent verification of recycled materials, Tradepro and SMX are looking to help reduce reliance on imported chemicals and materials, while cutting transportation costs tied to overseas and inland supply chains. This is expected to create a stronger, more resilient U.S. plastics ecosystem.

    Meeting Consumer Expectations

    With a significant cross-section of the U.S. population placing a premium on sustainable product choices, the collaboration is expected to create an industry standout opportunity. By delivering plastics that are digitally certified for recycled content and origin, Tradepro and SMX’s collaboration would enable American consumers to make confident, sustainability-driven purchasing decisions-supporting a new generation’s demand for authenticity and accountability.

    Key Outcomes of the Collaboration

    • FDA Compliance: SMX’s molecular marker was integrated into Tradepro’s rPET resin in line with FDA regulations for Food Contact Substances (21 CFR), confirming its industrial applicability for food-grade packaging.

    • End-to-End Durability: The marker was consistently detected across all process stages-resin, compounding, and final bottle production-proving its durability and reliability.

    • Non-Destructive Verification: Using SMX’s proprietary reader, marked rPET was identified and traced post-production without altering product performance or appearance.

    • Quantitative Accuracy: SMX technology accurately detected varying recycled-content percentages in Tradepro’s rPET, providing a robust quality and compliance tool for the supply chain.

    • Digital Certification: The system is designed to enable Tradepro to authenticate origin, quantify recycled content in real time, and deliver auditable reports to regulators, auditors, brand owners, and customers.

    Steven Schmutter, President of Tradepro Inc., said:
    For more than 35 years, Tradepro has supplied recycled plastics to industries worldwide. Partnering with SMX allows us to take the next step-delivering not only high-quality recycled materials but also the verified data that American companies and consumers are asking for. Together, we are expanding recycled content into new applications and building a more efficient, reliable U.S. market for sustainable plastics.”

    Haggai Alon, CEO & Founder of SMX, added:
    This partnership is about more than traceability-it’s about efficiency. By embedding molecular identity into recycled plastics and pairing it with a digital certification platform, we’re enabling American companies to cut costs, reduce foreign dependency, and meet the expectations of younger generations who want sustainable products. This is how material efficiency becomes a competitive advantage.

    Driving a New Industry Standard

    By embedding traceability at the molecular level and linking it to a secure blockchain record, SMX and Tradepro are laying the groundwork for a new industry reporting standard-one built on verifiable data rather than self-declaration. This aligns with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Sustainable Management of Plastics” program and responds to growing demands for transparent, auditable circularity practices.

  • IRS Ramps Up Penalties for Late Payroll Taxes – Clear Start Tax Shares What Employers Must Do Now

    IRS Ramps Up Penalties for Late Payroll Taxes – Clear Start Tax Shares What Employers Must Do Now

    Businesses face steeper fines in 2025 as the IRS cracks down on payroll tax compliance

    IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 1, 2025 / The IRS has announced tougher penalties for late payroll tax deposits in 2025, signaling a renewed focus on employer compliance. Payroll taxes – which fund Social Security, Medicare, and federal income tax withholdings – are among the most closely monitored obligations for businesses, and failing to pay them on time can result in significant financial consequences.

    “Payroll taxes are considered trust fund taxes, which means the IRS treats late or missing payments extremely seriously,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “Employers who fall behind can face escalating penalties, interest, and even personal liability in some cases.”

    Clear Start Tax noted that businesses struggling with cash flow sometimes delay payroll deposits, but the IRS’s stepped-up enforcement leaves little room for error. “Even short delays can add up to major penalties,” the spokesperson explained. “Employers should prioritize payroll tax deposits above nearly every other business expense.”

    Experts advise business owners to set up automated deposit systems, track deadlines carefully, and consult tax professionals if they’ve already missed payments. With the IRS increasing penalties and enforcement resources, employers are urged to act quickly to avoid compounding costs.

    By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

    About Clear Start Tax
    Clear Start Tax is a national tax resolution firm dedicated to helping individuals and businesses manage IRS challenges. From payroll tax issues and audits to back taxes and debt relief programs, the firm provides tailored solutions that reduce risk and restore financial stability.

  • Liberty HealthShare Releases Comprehensive White Paper Marking 30 Years of Healthcare Sharing Ministry Innovation

    Liberty HealthShare Releases Comprehensive White Paper Marking 30 Years of Healthcare Sharing Ministry Innovation

    White Paper Documents 30-Year Journey from Church Aid Plan to National Ministry

    CANTON, OH / ACCESS Newswire / September 30, 2025 / Liberty HealthShare®, a leading healthcare sharing ministry, released a comprehensive white paper titled “Liberty HealthShare: Three Decades of Healthcare Sharing Ministry Innovation,” documenting the organization’s growth from a small church medical aid plan in rural Virginia to a nationally recognized ministry serving thousands of members.

    The 30th anniversary publication traces Liberty HealthShare’s origins to 1995, when five families from Gospel Light Mennonite Church created a simple solution to share medical expenses. Today, the ministry operates six medical cost-sharing programs plus dental sharing, maintains Charity Navigator’s highest four-star rating, and dedicates the majority of every dollar to member medical sharing.

    “God has certainly graced Liberty HealthShare with His blessings,” said Dorsey Morrow, Liberty HealthShare Chief Executive Officer. “He has presented us with some challenges over the years, but we continue to do His work by helping our members share the burdens of their fellow believers since 1995.”

    Key Achievements and Growth

    The white paper highlights significant milestones including federal recognition as an eligible healthcare sharing ministry in 2014, comprehensive program expansion serving demographics from young adults to Medicare-eligible seniors, and recent technological investments including the ShareBox portal and mobile application.

    Throughout 2025, Liberty HealthShare implemented multiple cost-reduction measures, with significant reductions in suggested monthly share amounts effective October 1-cuts of up to $26 per month on the ministry’s three most popular programs.

    The ministry has also expanded community impact through the Sharing Hearts Fund for Pediatric Wellness, established in early 2025. In July, the fund awarded grants totaling more than $17,000 to Stark County families for children’s medical needs including physical, dental, and vision care.

    Addressing Healthcare Cost Challenges

    The publication addresses Liberty HealthShare’s response to escalating healthcare costs, noting that national healthcare spending has grown from $1.4 trillion in 1995 to roughly $5 trillion today. Healthcare sharing ministry participation nationwide has expanded from approximately 150,000 members in 2010 to over 1.7 million Americans currently.

    “Throughout this year we will also be looking at, and praying about, what we can, and should, do to further strengthen this ministry and its position as the most comprehensive healthcare sharing ministry in America for the next 30 years,” Morrow stated.

    The white paper emphasizes Liberty HealthShare’s commitment to financial transparency, operational efficiency, and maintaining personal relationships that differentiate healthcare sharing from health insurance models.

    About Liberty HealthShare

    Liberty HealthShare is a non-profit 501(c) (3) charitable Christian medical cost-sharing ministry focused on members helping each other in times of need. The faith-based program facilitates healthsharing for its members in a caring community of health-conscious individuals and families who choose to support one another and agree to the Christian values of stewardship to make healthcare affordable for all.

    Liberty HealthShare is not an insurance company nor is it offered through an insurance company.

    One Water Global Launches Interlocking Bottle Technology at World Economic Forum

    EDMONTON, AB / ACCESS Newswire / September 30, 2025 / One Water, a premium bottled water company that aims to shake up the water bottle experience, has officially debuted its unique bottle technology at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The event took place January 21-23, 2025, allowing One Water to introduce its innovative product directly to thousands of global leaders and policymakers.

    This launch introduced attendees worldwide to One Water’s award-winning interlocking bottle technology and its flagship product, pure spring water sourced directly from the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Their mission is to promote sustainable practices while redefining a premium hydration experience. One Water’s presence at the World Economic Forum signals a significant shift in the industry as all eyes turn to more sustainable inventions.

    A Global Brand Built With Purpose

    One Water’s mission is to unite all of the world’s most pristine spring sources under one label, delivering a premium product while preserving the ecosystems from which it comes. The company wants people to see water as more than just a beverage; they should also recognize its origin, purity, and responsible sourcing.

    At Davos, the brand showcased its first launch from the Canadian Rockies, setting the stage for other sources like Italy, the Swiss Alps, and many more to come. Each source is carefully selected for quality and unique cultural identity, contributing to One Water’s mission.

    Unique Bottle Technology

    At the center of One Water’s launch was its patented interlocking bottle technology, a design that won the Best Innovative Technology Award at the Zenith Global Awards. The first-of-its-kind packaging system allows individual bottles to interlock with practical portability, storage, and transport advantages. The technology benefits both consumers and supply chain distributors.

    When no existing technology met One Water’s vision, the company decided to make its own. Their unique design demonstrates their commitment to premium products and to problem-solving with innovation. As a result, the packaging format reduces waste, is more efficient, and enhances the customer’s experience.

    Technological Innovation

    Since its inception, One Water has been built around its commitment to technological innovation. The interlocking design helps minimize packaging materials and carbon emissions that come from shipping by up to 35%.

    The brand’s sustainability strategy goes beyond packaging. One Water invests in ethical sourcing practices, ecosystem preservation, and long-term conservation efforts to protect its springs for future generations.

    One Water’s charity was set up to support and fund clean water projects in areas of extreme poverty. Every purchase of One Water helps bring clean water to communities that need access to safe water.

    About One Water Global

    One Water Global is a premium water brand from the world’s purest spring sources. Founded by Joelle El-Khatib, One Water created the first interlocking bottle technology with a mission to reshape how the world interacts with bottled water. They are purpose-driven by conservation, sustainability, efficiency, and cultural preservation, merging environmental responsibility with luxury hydration.

    From Vet Clinics to Store Shelves: Vetnique Accelerates Growth with Rapid Retail Expansion

    Retail Expansion, New Product Innovation, and Triple-Digit Ecommerce Growth Drive Vetnique’s Ascent in Pet Health

    NAPERVILLE, IL / ACCESS Newswire / September 30, 2025 / Vetnique®, the vet-founded pet health company behind vet-formulated and vet-recommended solutions changing the lives of millions of pets, is experiencing record-setting growth and strategic expansion, solidifying its position as one of the fastest-growing companies in pet health.

    Maintaining a rapid pace of innovation throughout 2025, Vetnique released over 20 new products for cats and dogs into the market, designed to address everyday health needs across various categories such as gut health and digestion, hip and joint support, ear care, and more.

    As of August 2025, Vetnique’s vet-formulated and vet-recommended products, including supplements and topical solutions like wipes, sprays and ear flushes, are available in over 50,000 retail locations across the United States, including in retailers like Walmart, Tractor Supply Co., Petco, PetSmart, and Pet Supplies Plus.

    The marked growth in brick-and-mortar locations is highlighted by a significant expansion into Walmart store locations, where 11 of the brand’s core products-including Glandex®, YuMOVE®, and OticBliss®-are available across 3,563 stores, with additional product offerings on Walmart.com.

    Vetnique also debuted on Target.com in September 2025, further demonstrating the growing interest from mass retailers for accessible, science-backed, vet-recommended and vet-formulated pet health care solutions for consumers. Beyond its impressive retail presence, Vetnique’s e-commerce growth has also intensified with Amazon sales in North America increasing significantly, and Walmart sales surging with triple-digit growth as of August 2025.

    Dr. James Bascharon, DVM, Founder and CEO of Vetnique remarked, “These achievements reflect our unwavering commitment to improving pet health outcomes through science-backed solutions while building meaningful partnerships across veterinary and retail channels,” said Dr. Bascharon. “We do this for the pet parents who want the very best for their companions. It’s our mission to provide them with trusted, veterinarian-formulated solutions.”

    Driven by the Glandex Advanced Vet Strength formula, Vetnique’s multimodal approach to anal gland health is gaining traction in veterinary clinics nationwide, and with the 2024 acquisition of YuMOVE, the veterinarian exclusive of the efficacious hip and joint supplement has become a popular recommendation as well. With an increased sales team, an emphasis on new business development, and adding more distribution partners, Vetnique is sharpening its focus on the vet channel and the opportunities that exist for clinics nationwide to obtain access to vet-formulated products.

    Vetnique’s growth doesn’t stop there – it extends to its personnel, too, with the company more than doubling its head count in the last six months, exhibiting at major industry expos including VMX, Global Pet Expo, AVMA Convention, and SuperZoo, where they debuted the largest booth to date, and earning awards for innovative products such as “Dog Health Chews Product of the Year” at the 2025 Pet Innovation Awards.

    Vetnique is poised to continue to grow within the pet industry, which is projected to reach $350 billion globally by 2027.
