FireOneUp.com is proudly launching the new PINNACOLO® L’Argilla Thermal Clay Gas-Powered Oven. The PINNACOLO® L’Argilla in many ways replicates the igloo shape of the ancient Pompeii ovens. The curvature of the dome wraps heat around food, cooking it from all sides. With 50,000 BTUs of cooking power, the CSA-approved L’Argilla heats the cordierite cooking surface to over 600˚F in well under 10 minutes while the outside remains safe to the touch. The 26.5″ diameter interior (3.83 sq ft) provides the space to easily handle 2+ pizzas at a time. Since the oven is gas-powered, you have far greater temperature control, making it superb for roasting, baking, and searing. The L’Argilla comes complete with a custom-designed steel stand featuring oversized front wheels and locking rotational rear casters to make positioning the new PINNACOLO® oven easy. The L’Argilla includes a selection of PINNACOLO®-branded pizza-making accessories (a retail value of over $500). Just add gas.

FireOneUp will also be launching a full line of pizza oven accessories. This will include over 20 real-life tested products to help make the cooking experience easier, safer, faster, and far more enjoyable. The company has been working with customers/real users to develop these accessories. The growing line will help home cooks, restaurateurs, caterers, and professional chefs achieve better results.

The PINNACOLO® line also includes their original Premio Wood Fired Oven and their popular PINNACOLO® IBRIDO Hybrid Wood/Gas Oven with 35,000 BTUs and two side prep shelves. The line of PINNACOLO® ovens each comes with a selection of essential cooking accessories so they are immediately ready to begin making great food. 

Fire One Up Sales Inc., (FireOneUp.com), a WeConnect Certified Women Owned Company, is the global distributor of the PINNACOLO® line. The company, which began in Canada in 2020, has seen tremendous response and rapid growth.

Plantd’s proprietary low carbon-emissions production technology transforms fast-growing perennial grass into durable home construction products.

DURHAM, N.C., January 26, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Revolutionary sustainable building materials company Plantd is making waves in the construction industry with the announcement of its $10 million Series A funding round. Led by American Family Ventures, the funding solidifies Plantd’s position as a pioneer in carbon-negative building materials.

“We are thrilled to back this exceptional and visionary team,” said Kyle Beatty, Managing Director at American Family Ventures. “Plantd is creating fundamentally better construction materials that are cost-effective and truly carbon negative. We have been impressed by how they have reinvented every step of the production process from first principles, all the way from input material to logistics.”

Plantd’s production team is led by co-founders and engineers Huade Tan and Nathan Silvernail, who worked together for years at SpaceX designing and building key systems and components of the Dragon cargo and crew spacecraft. Together with co-founder and CEO Josh Dorfman, a serial entrepreneur and longtime sustainability leader, Plantd is redefining the value chain for engineered building materials.

Plantd’s proprietary low carbon-emissions production technology transforms fast-growing perennial grass into durable, carbon-negative building materials that outperform competitive products on key attributes, including strength and moisture resistance. 

Starting with structural panel products for walls and roofs, Plantd will fabricate building materials that are a direct substitute for traditional home construction products and require no alternative installation techniques. By cultivating fast-growing perennial grass instead of cutting down trees and pioneering novel production technology to minimize carbon emissions, Plantd Structural Panels™ retain 80% of the atmospheric carbon dioxide captured in the field, which is then locked away inside the walls and roofs of new homes. 

“We can’t move quickly enough to solve climate change unless we develop profitable methods to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere,” said Dorfman. “We’re going to change an industry by offering builders a better product at the same price and, in the process, scale a business that can help save the planet.”

Building with Plantd materials enables home builders to offer their customers homes that are affordable, durable, and sustainable. And by sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide within structural frames, homes built with Plantd materials will play a key role in solving climate change.

Plantd will use this round of funding to establish their agriculture supply chain and build the first-of-its-kind, modular automated continuous press for engineered building materials. The company is currently working with the nation’s largest builders and architects to integrate these materials into their projects and quickly make them a standard in the industry.

Plantd’s ultimate vision is to build the factory of the future, ensuring that new homes and buildings contribute to reversing the effects of climate change.

From Jan. 20 through Jan. 24, 2023, Fragrance Creators Association (Fragrance Creators) members joined together in Sacramento, California, to share information that helps the state’s regulators and legislators advance policies that empower the fragrance value chain to accelerate sustainable innovation and meet evolving consumer needs. Over the course of three days, Fragrance Creators engaged with leadership at the California Air Resources Board (CARB) as well as California Assembly Members, Senators, and their staffs. Discussions included education on deeper technical science, as well as the important role of fragrance in industry stewardship, sustainability, and consumer education.

During the meeting with CARB staff on Jan. 20, Fragrance Creators highlighted the safety of and science behind fragrance ingredients, the essential role scent plays in various products, and the innovative ways the industry is working to protect the environment.  This meeting comes as the new CARB consumer product VOC amendments are beginning to come into effect. 

“Fragrance Creators has had a longstanding relationship with CARB built upon mutual respect and science-based conversations,” said Amanda Nguyen, Fragrance Creators’ Vice President of Government Affairs and Legal. “Through that, we have found much common ground.  As our members work to comply with the requirements of the VOC regulations and to communicate the challenges they pose, we are pleased to continue to strengthen our relationship. We extend our thanks to CARB staff for their time and look forward to working with them going forward.” 

On Jan. 23 and 24, Fragrance Creators members had over 20 engagements with Assembly Members, Senators, and their staffs, including a briefing for the staff of key policy committees including the Assembly Natural Resources Committee, the Assembly Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials Committee, and the Senate Environmental Quality Committee. These meetings centered around the kinds of policies that promote sustainable innovation in the fragrance industry and beyond. Fragrance Creators also leads a coalition comprised of industry stakeholders and while in California hosted a briefing of this coalition to strengthen communication and coordination amongst industry.     

“By meeting with legislators early in their legislative session, we are able to ensure they’re clear on the kinds of policies that will allow our industry to do its part to deliver more good for people and the planet,” said Farah K. Ahmed, Fragrance Creators’ President and CEO. “We will continue to leverage our network of over 1000 scientists and technical experts to educate key stakeholders in California, and beyond, throughout the year.”
