Design Edition fuses pioneering eco-friendly qualities and eye-catching fashion with the CAMON 30 Series’ flagship imaging experience.

Style- and eco-conscious coffee lovers will find coffee culture and the natural process of growth are reflected in the CAMON 30 Series LOEWE. Design Edition’s sleek visual aesthetic, interpreting sustainable elements and stylish inspiration. Merging TECNO’s innovative material technology with LOEWE.’s CMF design excellence, the green gradient design is inspired by the life cycle of natural leaves with a color palette that represents the growth and life of the green leaf. Reflecting the complex processes involved in producing the device’s environmentally friendly coffee grounds back cover, the device’s design is a celebration of nature, technology and fashion working in harmony for the good of the planet. Meanwhile, as one of the hottest and most enduring trends, color blocking adds a fresh, modern touch with sophisticated appeal. The new special edition combines TECNO’s fashionable flair with LOEWE.’s pursuit of excellence in quality, craftsmanship, and technology with meticulous attention to detail.

It’s estimated that we consume over 2 billion cups of coffee every day worldwide, with millions of tons of waste coffee grounds going to landfills each year. These waste grounds decompose and produce harmful greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. As a pioneer in advanced materials with a commitment to the environment, TECNO developed the new CAMON 30 Series LOEWE. Design Edition with a back cover constructed using waste coffee grounds as one of the raw materials in a creative effort to reduce the environmental impact of coffee consumption. Achieving USDA Bio-based certification status, the innovative, industry-first coffee grounds phone back cover coating is composed of more than 25% bio-based material, bringing users a device that showcases both their eye for style and their passion for protecting our planet.

The entire manufacturing process of the coffee grounds back cover uses no organic solvents, no additional water consumption, and is entirely solar powered. This innovative approach allows the product to outperform traditional synthetic and animal leathers in terms of appearance, durability, texture, feel and environmental friendliness. The cover not only provides a luxurious touch, but also UV resistance, as well as temperature and humidity resistance. For every phone cover manufactured, approximately 0.8g of waste coffee grounds will be used. According to the whole life cycle assessment of coffee grounds leather products (ISO 14040:2006 and ISO 14044:2006), the recycled coffee grounds back cover reduces the consumption of non-living resources (fossil fuels) by approximately 49.6% and the contribution of carbon dioxide emissions to global warming by 46.3% compared to traditional leather cover materials over a full life cycle. Overall, the design not only reduces the waste of water, but also reduces the pollution caused to the environment by waste and organic solvents.

“The CAMON 30 Series LOEWE. Design Edition exemplifies TECNO’s dedication to creating stylish, environmentally friendly products,” said TECNO’s Product Design Team. “By incorporating waste coffee grounds into the back cover, we’ve crafted a unique, Eco-conscious smartphone that stands as a design masterpiece and a pioneer in sustainability.”

“The LOEWE. Design Studio brings a rich history of excellence in product design in consumer electronics, particularly in premium products,” said Marco A. Mueller, Director Design and Design Management at LOEWE Design Studio. “LOEWE’s emphasis on high-quality design and innovative technology aligns perfectly with TECNO’s forward-thinking approach. This partnership allows both companies to leverage each other’s strengths, creating products that stand out in the competitive smartphone market.”

 

The CAMON 30 Series LOEWE. Design Edition is available across the new CAMON 30 Series, made up of the flagship CAMON 30 Premier 5G, CAMON 30 Pro 5G, CAMON 30 5G and CAMON 30.

European Wellness Biomedical Group Announces New Klotho Research Initiative Led by Prof. Mike Chan

December 25, 2024

By

HEIDELBERG, Germany, Dec. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — European Wellness Biomedical Group (EWBG) has launched a new research initiative focused on Klotho, a protein with transformative potential in longevity medicine. Led by Professor Dr. Mike Chan, this project will explore Klotho’s role in combating age-related diseases and its ability to regenerate critical organs, including the brain, kidneys, and heart.

Klotho, identified in 1997, is emerging as a key protein in longevity and regenerative medicine. It plays a pivotal role in regulating oxidative stress, mineral metabolism, and inflammation. The research will investigate how boosting Klotho levels could help address chronic conditions like neurodegenerative diseases, kidney failure, and heart disease, ultimately improving healthspan and extending lifespan.

“Klotho represents the next frontier in longevity medicine,” said Professor Mike Chan, Chief Scientist at EWBG. “Our research aims to understand how Klotho affects aging and how we can use it to treat chronic diseases that have long been associated with aging.”

Research Focus Areas

The new initiative will focus on three primary research areas:

Neurological health: Investigating Klotho’s neuroprotective effects and its potential to slow cognitive decline in diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.Kidney function: Examining Klotho’s role in regulating mineral metabolism and its regenerative potential in treating chronic kidney disease (CKD).Cardiovascular health: Studying Klotho’s influence on vascular function and its ability to prevent vascular calcification, a key contributor to heart disease.

This research builds on existing collaborations at EWBG, where leading scientists focus on advancing Klotho-based therapies for regenerative health.

Klotho: A Potential Breakthrough in Longevity Medicine

Klotho is gaining attention for its ability to regenerate tissues and reverse damage caused by age-related diseases. Unlike NAD+, which primarily enhances cellular metabolism and energy production, Klotho offers a broader range of therapeutic applications, including tissue regeneration, cognitive function improvement, and cardiovascular health.

As we age, Klotho levels naturally decline, leading to conditions such as cognitive decline, heart disease, and kidney failure. Research suggests that restoring Klotho levels can reverse the effects of oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular senescence, offering new treatment possibilities for a range of age-related diseases.

Professor Mike Chan: Leading the Charge in Klotho Research

Professor Mike Chan, a leading expert in stem cell therapy and longevity medicine, is spearheading this groundbreaking initiative at EWBG. His extensive experience in bio-regenerative medicine positions him as a key figure in exploring Klotho’s potential to revolutionize the treatment of age-related diseases. Through FCTI, a subsidiary of EWBG, Professor Chan and his team are developing therapies that combine stem cell technology and Klotho proteins to stimulate tissue regeneration in the brain, kidneys, and heart.

“By harnessing Klotho’s regenerative properties, we hope to address chronic conditions that were previously untreatable,” said Professor Chan. “Our ultimate goal is to improve quality of life and provide lasting solutions for those affected by aging-related diseases.”

The Future of Klotho in Longevity Medicine

The future of Klotho-based therapies looks promising, with Professor Mike Chan and EWBG at the forefront of this innovative field. As more research is conducted, Klotho is expected to play a pivotal role in advancing longevity medicine, offering a new approach to treating aging and chronic diseases. The potential applications of Klotho are vast, from neurodegenerative disease treatment to kidney regeneration and cardiovascular health.

With strong research partnerships, significant funding, and ongoing clinical trials, Klotho is poised to become a cornerstone of longevity medicine, transforming how we approach aging and disease. Professor Mike Chan’s leadership ensures that this promising protein will soon offer new hope to those seeking longer, healthier lives.
