GreenCore Solutions and Emerson TEN Partner on TreeFree Diaper® In-Store POS Displays
VANCOUVER, BC, FRANKFURT, Germany and VILJANDIA, Estonia, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - GreenCore Solutions Corp. ('GreenCore'), the global leader in tree-free disposable baby diaper innovation, today announced a strategic partnership with Emerson TEN OÜ ('Emerson'), an Estonian-based retail display and point-of-sale (POS) solutions leader, to transform in-store visibility and sales performance for TreeFree Diaper® and FemCare UltraThin across major European markets.
Through this collaboration, Emerson will design and deploy high-impact POS displays tailored for GreenCore's rapidly expanding European retail network, including grocery, drugstore, and convenience channels. These new POS solutions will make it easier for retailers to highlight and restock TreeFree Diaper® products, driving higher shopper engagement and accelerated sales velocity.
'Partnering with Emerson TEN is a natural extension of our mission to bring TreeFree Diaper® to more European parents through retail partners who value sustainability and innovation,' said Matthew Keddy, CEO of GreenCore Solutions. 'Their expertise in dynamic in-store merchandising will empower our retail customers to capture the attention of eco-minded Gen Z and Millennial shoppers and support faster sell-through rates.'
TreeFree Diaper® is the world's first large-scale private label, tree-free, cellulose-free disposable baby diaper. By eliminating tree cellulosic fiber, it reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 85% and water footprint by up to 90% compared to conventional pulp-based diapers. These environmental breakthroughs align with surging consumer demand for sustainable hygiene products — particularly among Europe's 224 million Gen Z and Millennial consumers, who together represent over 50% of the EU population.
Emerson TEN's in-store solutions include custom display units, shelf-ready marketing kits, and rapid restocking systems designed to fit seamlessly into European retail environments. As part of this partnership, Emerson TEN will also provide local customer support and ensure timely production and delivery to retail locations across the continent.
'European consumers increasingly expect their favorite hygiene products to be both high-performance and environmentally responsible,' said Ronny Ahlers, CEO of Emerson TEN. 'Our collaboration with GreenCore combines state-of-the-art POS design with a breakthrough diaper product that meets these needs head-on.'
The initial rollout will focus on key European retail markets, with further expansion planned through 2026 as GreenCore scales its Retail Private Label Program (RPLP). Each TreeFree Diaper® pack features a QR code linked to the company's eco Score App, providing shoppers with transparent, real-time sustainability and sourcing information at the shelf.

Meanwhile, World Kinect Corporation (NYSE:WKC) recorded a $367 million goodwill impairment related to its Land segment. While the Marine segment suffered with a one-time tax hit, its overall performance remained stable.

'They'll Jack Up The Price And Blame It On Tariffs,' Mark Cuban Warned 4 Months Ago. The Price Hikes Are Here—He Was Right
Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Back on April 2, billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban told his Bluesky followers, 'It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA, they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.' Now, four months later, that's exactly what's happening. Price Hikes Are Hitting The Basics Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), the company behind big-name brands like Tide, Dawn, Charmin and Crest, announced in July that it will raise prices on about 25% of its products starting in August. The average increase will be around 2.5%, according to The Washington Post. The company cited a $1 billion annual hit from tariffs as one of the reasons. Don't Miss: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market — Accredited Investors: Grab Pre-IPO Shares of the AI Company Powering Hasbro, Sephora & MGM— During a media briefing, P&G Chief Financial Officer Andre Schulten said that the increase will be "moderate," "adequate" and in line with "the typical inflation consumers would experience." Retail analysts believe more companies will follow. Walmart (NYSE:WMT), which often sets the tone for industry pricing, has already raised prices on items like toys, kitchenware, and baby gear—products mostly made in China. Tariffs on steel and aluminum are also expected to push up packaging costs for food and beverage staples like beer, coffee, and canned goods. According to the Tax Foundation, nearly 75% of U.S. food imports are affected by tariffs, including baked goods, fish, liqueurs, and spirits. Trending: 'Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. Consumers Are Already Stretched Thin This latest wave of price hikes comes as many Americans are already struggling to keep up. A recent Century Foundation survey found that 61% of Americans say the Trump administration has made their cost of living worse. The survey revealed widespread financial anxiety: 41% said they've had to dip into savings, 37% have used credit cards to pay bills, and 25% have skipped meals in the past year. Nearly half of Americans said they would struggle to cover a $500 emergency without borrowing. And the stress isn't limited to low-income households—even 36% of families making more than $100,000 a year said they'd have a hard time paying an unexpected bill. "Consumers have had a really tough time sorting through the 'tariff noise.' They don't know when prices are going to increase, [or] what supply is going to be available,' progressive advocacy group Groundwork Collaborative Executive Director Lindsay Owens told The Are Trading Down Faced with these rising costs, shoppers are hunting for value wherever they can, but also trading down, opting for store brands or less expensive versions of familiar products. P&G confirmed this trend, saying lower-income customers are switching from regular Tide to the cheaper Tide Simply, or from Pampers to Luvs. P&G, which reported $20.9 billion in sales last quarter, is planning layoffs, product cuts, and supply chain changes to cope with the financial hit from tariffs. While companies adjust behind the scenes, consumers are once again left footing the bill, just as Cuban predicted. Read Next: Have $100k+ to invest?

Market liberalism is dead — we need a new NATO for trade
For eight decades the West, especially European nations, treated markets as neutral arenas governed by rules—not power. That era is over. The global economy is now shaped by rivalry, coercion, and control. Trade is no longer just trade in a rules-based order, it has become part of geopolitical strategy. And this isn't a temporary disruption. As IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva has warned, the world is fragmenting into competing blocs. The old vision of globalisation has collapsed. What seemed to be a natural setup to many in Europe was, in fact, a historical anomaly: a system built upon an American-led world order power, enforced through institutions like NATO and the Bretton Woods system. That scaffolding is now shaking. The rules-based global market we took for granted is giving way to a world of weaponised interdependence. To navigate it, the West needs a new kind of alliance: a NATO for trade. The end of the 80-year economic illusion After World War II, the US and its allies built an economic system designed to prevent a return to the destabilising chaos of the 1930s. Institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and GATT were established to underpin global capitalism under American leadership. Security was provided by US military power, codified in NATO. Trade flourished. So did Europe, whose post-war recovery and integration were underwritten by American guarantees. When the Cold War ended, the illusion that global capitalism could operate independently of geopolitics deepened. By the 1990s, many believed the market was self-regulating and inherently peace-promoting. Today, with the return of great power competition, that illusion has shattered. Economic liberalism no longer aligns with geopolitical reality. We are entering a war economy mindset—one where national security trumps price efficiency. This shift has been accelerated by two shocks: Russia's invasion of Ukraine and China's economic rise. For example, Europe's dependence on cheap Russian gas left it exposed when Russia weaponised its flows in 2022. Germany, in particular, had bet on market logic rather than geopolitical risk. A 2021 assessment even declared Nord Stream 2 safe just months prior. The result: an energy crisis and a mad scramble for LNG. Far away, while the West clung to free-market orthodoxy, China has spent decades building a war-ready economy. Under the 'Made in China 2025' and 'Military-Civil Fusion' initiatives, it identified key sectors and moved to dominate them, including rare earths, batteries, solar and AI. Today, China produces over 75% of lithium-ion batteries and nearly all the world's gallium. It controls the supply chains for the energy transition—and increasingly, the components of military power. Crucially, China is not afraid to use this market dominance for political ends. In 2010, it cut exports to Japan over a dispute. And its green tech dominance creates dependence in Europe and beyond. Recently, China imposed controls on gallium and germanium, crucial for semiconductor development worldwide. In response to this shift, U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has openly argued for a more strategic form of capitalism, rejecting 'oversimplified' free-market models. Trade is no longer neutral. What matters is not just cost, but control. 80-year illusion over, a new paradigm emerges In summary, we are entering a new, first truly geopolitical-economic paradigm in eight decades. The comfortable post-Cold War interlude — when markets seemed paramount and history had supposedly ended — has given way to a more raw and Hobbesian environment. But unlike the 1930s, the West is not destitute or defenceless; we are wealthy and belatedly awakening to the challenge. We must now leverage our strengths in a clear-eyed way. The task is to update the institutions and mindsets of the 20th-century liberal order to meet the 21st-century's more fraught reality. If we succeed, geoeconomics need not lead to catastrophe, but it will require us to subordinate commerce to strategy — intentionally and intelligently — just as our forebears did in the 1940s when they built the system that delivered peace and prosperity for so long. The EU-US trade agreement highlights this shift The inequity of the recent EU-US trade deal, which saw the bloc swallow 15% tariffs, is a perfect example of this shift. It also demonstrates that Europe's decades-long dependence on the US has become a strategic vulnerability. This episode reinforces the need for Europe and others to structurally diversify our trade relationships and value chains in a world of escalating economic coercion. It must drive us to deepen partnerships beyond the transatlantic axis, without relying too heavily on China. This is not the 1930s. Europe remains a wealthy, democratic, and stable region. But post-war generations have no memory of systemic disruption. We assumed liberalism was permanent. We believed 'it's the economy, stupid.' Now we're learning that strategic power, not market price, determines outcomes. Defence is another case in point. Until recently, most NATO members underspent on their militaries. By 2021, only six met the 2% GDP target. That changed quickly after 2022. But defence industries were caught flat-footed. A plan to send 1 million shells to Ukraine revealed that the EU's manufacturing capacity fell far short. For decades, Europe optimised for efficiency, not endurance. The same applies to trade. Germany's model of Wandel durch Handel—change through trade—is being rethought. Berlin is now screening Chinese investments and reducing dependence on authoritarian suppliers. Across Europe, strategic autonomy is the new watchword. But the mindset shift is only beginning. A NATO for trade: the strategic task ahead Market liberalism assumed that trade would bring peace. But today, trade is a tool of leverage. The new mantra must be resilience—including building domestic capacity, even if it's more expensive. This is not a temporary adjustment. It is the new normal. And this new era demands new institutions. Just as NATO was built to defend shared security, the West now needs a strategic alliance to defend shared economic sovereignty—a NATO for trade—including nations like Japan, South Korea and Australia. Economic security must become a shared goal, not just a national one. The US has already taken steps, with domestic investments in chips and clean tech, and bans on key tech exports to China. Now, the EU is following suit, with the Chips Act and Critical Raw Materials Act. These are necessary but insufficient measures. We must build an economic coalition of the willing, now. That means shared investments, aligned trade rules, and collective protection of critical supply chains. It means accepting higher costs to safeguard long-term freedom. Cheap goods are not cheap if they make us dependent on hostile powers and geopolitical power games. The task is not to retreat from global trade, but to rebuild it on strategic terms. The free market cannot defend itself. Like peace, it must be protected through alliances. Economic liberalism's end, strategy's return Market liberalism is dead. It died when we stopped believing trade was just about price. It died when supply chains became battlegrounds. And it died when autocracies weaponised interdependence while democracies hesitated. If we want to preserve prosperity, we must be willing to defend it—not just with tanks, but with treaties, tariffs, and trusted partners. A NATO for trade is not a metaphor. It is the next necessary institution in a world where commerce is no longer safe from politics. If the West can build it, the collapse of market liberalism need not mean decline; it can be the start of a more resilient and secure economic order.
