DRT-Sand: The First Step of Civilization in the Desert, Powered by Nanotechnology
BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 June 2025 - As the construction industry faces material shortages and climate-driven infrastructure needs, an unexpected resource is gaining importance: desert and sea sand. Once considered unsuitable, this abundant material is now reimagined through advanced technology as a high-performance input with transformative potential.
In response to this opportunity, Thailand's Doctor T Company Limited—a recognized leader in nanotechnology innovation across multiple industries—has announced a strategic expansion into advanced construction materials. The company's latest breakthrough, DRT-Sand, is engineered for new growth opportunities across dry-sand regions worldwide, where harsh environmental conditions and infrastructure needs intersect. Designed for flexibility, DRT-Sand also works with ocean sand, expanding its relevance in coastal and dry regions.
Amid a global shortage of high-quality river sand and rising construction demand, DRT-Sand introduces a proprietary nanofilm-coated desert sand substrate. This breakthrough transforms previously unusable sand into a water-resistant, dust-proof, and weather-tolerant material ideal for cement mixes or use with alternative binders. It addresses the escalating 'sand crisis' while aligning with Doctor T's commitment to sustainability.
DRT-Sand offers a platform for scalable, sustainable infrastructure in desert regions. It enables the construction of roads, pathways, blocks, and water basins—without the environmental cost of river sand extraction or the logistical burden of imported cement. It can also be made into sand-colored paint for harsh environments. By leveraging local resources, DRT-Sand reduces construction costs and opens pathways for desert economies to emerge as global suppliers of high-value building materials.
Doctor T is launching projects across MENA with local partners to demonstrate performance in water management, rural connectivity, and low-carbon civil works.
'DRT-Sand exemplifies our vision to turn overlooked resources into strategic assets,' said Mr.Thiti Jirawatcharakorn, CEO of Doctor T. 'We're proud to lead with sustainable solutions that meet real-world needs.'
For investors, this initiative blends ESG value with material innovation, creating a new revenue stream alongside Doctor T's TPoxy and synthetic-wood (VoidWood) segments, which generate over 85% of revenue. Doctor T targets pilot deployments in late 2025, rollout in 2026, and global scaling by 2027–2028.
Doctor T invites strategic investors, distributors, and partners to support deployment and commercialization. Interested parties should contact Doctor T to explore partnership opportunities and help shape the future of sustainable infrastructure.

Juyeon Lee, Head of Xsolla APAC: 'Xsolla Buy Button Designed to Reduce Friction and Drive More Revenue Online'
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - Media OutReach Newswire - 13 June 2025 - Game developers increasingly seek ways to reduce app store fees. Xsolla's Buy Button for Mobile Games is gaining traction for users in the United States as an effective tool in that pursuit. According to Jooyeon Lee, Head of Asia-Pacific (APAC) at Xsolla, the Buy Button allows mobile game developers to integrate their web shops and custom payment pages directly, bypassing traditional app market fees and improving profitability for US-based players. 'Mobile game companies are highly interested in reducing app store fees and engaging directly with their users. With Xsolla Buy Button, developers can link their web shops and payment pages, giving them more flexibility and helping them retain more revenue. In a recent interview, this feature is particularly beneficial for companies aiming to expand globally,' said Lee. Lee, a seasoned business leader with previous experience at game publishers such as Nexon, Netmarble, and Singapore-based Garena, rejoined Xsolla earlier this year as Head of APAC, overseeing operations, marketing, and organizational strategy across the region. Xsolla's APAC division covers South Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, India, Australia, and New Zealand. 'The APAC game market is currently in a phase of maintaining scale rather than aggressive growth, and we've seen increased demand from developers focused on improving profitability,' she noted. 'As concerns about platform monopolies resurface, more developers are exploring third-party payment options—this is exactly why the Buy Button is attracting attention.' The Buy Button is designed with easy integration without much coding, allowing developers to choose where and how to link payment pages. 'Whether it's a custom-built web shop or a third-party payment page, our partners have the freedom to decide,' said Lee. 'Games with a large portion of their revenue coming from outside the U.S. can especially benefit from this feature, turning reduced fees into meaningful profit gains.' Built on Xsolla Web Shop for mobile games and Xsolla Pay Station, the Buy Button connects to a browser-based checkout experience and offers key benefits such as: • Keep up to 30% from platform fees • Legally compliant external payment link integration • Seamless one-tap payments • Minimized tax and regulatory burdens • Loyalty and rewards programs • Parental controls and gift card options • Multi-channel commerce support As the official merchant of record, Xsolla also manages global tax compliance and fraud prevention. The company supports over 1,000 localized payment methods worldwide, up from 700, and has recently expanded into Southeast Asia, Japan, India, the Middle East, and Africa. 'Buy Button emphasizes flexibility and convenience. If developers are hesitant to adopt third-party payments directly, they can also use the feature to promote their web shops,' Lee explained. 'It's a low-barrier way to localize payments for developers targeting global markets.' She added that adoption is rising even in traditionally conservative markets like Japan. 'Japanese developers have been cautious about changing payment methods, but those who partnered with us have expressed high satisfaction,' said Lee. 'We expect strong growth from our Japanese partners this year. Word of mouth about Xsolla is spreading in Japan and India, increasing new deals. An official announcement will follow soon.' Lee also emphasized that Xsolla's value proposition extends beyond fee reduction. 'Developers are also satisfied with our tax management and fraud prevention capabilities. Even those initially selected other payment providers are increasingly switching to Xsolla.' As for developer support, Xsolla continues to invest in initiatives for indie developers. 'Our solutions are designed with global indie studios in mind. We're actively participating in events like PlayX4 and BIC, and we're expanding promotional channels to support international exposure,' she said. In closing, Lee remarked, 'Xsolla is ready to partner with any game developer focused on global expansion and profitability. We hope the Buy Button becomes a strategic tool for growth in today's challenging market landscape.'

China's wine market uncorks consumption vitality
YINCHUAN, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 13 June 2025 - In an exhibition hall at an expo in Yinchuan, the capital of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the rich aroma emanating from a copper hot pot is gaining the attention of visitors. The dish of tender mutton cooked in red wine-added broth is a perfect blend of two of Ningxia's most famed products. 'Using spring water, red wine and nourishing ingredients removes unpleasant smells, making the mutton delicious and flavorful,' said Tian Feng, who manages the hot pot restaurant operating the booth. The popularity of its red wine hot pot ensures the restaurant is often fully booked on weekends, Tian added. Across China's evolving consumer landscape, wine is undergoing a subtle transformation. No longer restricted to formal banquets and professional tasting events, wine is becoming accessible as various consumption scenarios and wine products are created. This shift in accessibility is evident at the ongoing Fifth China (Ningxia) International Wine Culture and Tourism Expo in Ningxia, which is a renowned wine production region that is promoting a 'tipsy economy.' Ningxia boasts a unique terroir for the production of top-class wine, with prolonged sunshine hours and a cool, dry climate aiding the cultivation of grapes. After four decades of development, it has become China's largest wine-producing region. The eastern foot of Helan Mountain is widely regarded as a 'golden zone' for grape cultivation and high-end wine production. By the end of 2024, the region had more than 600,000 mu (about 40,000 hectares) of wine grape plantations and an annual wine output of 140 million bottles. Its wines were exported to over 40 countries and regions. At the expo, brightly colored canned wines from the Ningxia State Farm Winery have won the favor of many. Compared to bottled wines, canned wines are more convenient to drink and can more easily meet the demands of diverse scenarios such as camping and picnics, said Li Shuang, the winery's sales manager. In addition to its canned wines, which have been popular since their launch last year, the company offers innovative products such as creamy jasmine wine, lemon oolong tea wine, black coffee wine and alcohol-free options. These products drove 20 percent of the company's sales growth in 2024, Li said. Cheeks rosy after tasting a dozen wines at the expo, local visitor Lu Ting is a tourism professional and sommelier who enjoys buying wines to share with family and friends. 'Chardonnay with meat skewers, reds with hot pot -- it's about sharing joy,' said Lu, 42. The four-day event will run until Thursday and is slated to include a world wine tasting event, a wine and winery exhibition, an innovation competition and an art biennial. Last month, Yinchuan also hosted a marathon that saw 43 local wineries offer 28,000 runners free vineyard tours, tastings and exclusive discounts for wine purchases. This event-driven approach has created a powerful synergy between tourism and viticulture, resulting in a surge in hotel bookings in the city. 'We're transforming the entire city into a living wine museum,' said Li Bingjie, director of Yinchuan's wine industry development service center. 'Visitors can fully immerse themselves in the journey from grape to glass.' Speaking at the expo's opening ceremony on Monday, Yvette van der Merwe, president of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine, said that the organization has for many years observed and supported the rise of China's grape and wine industry, with the country being an important wine consumer and table grape producer. 'I see the energy that the growth of Ningxia Helan Mountain's east foothill region has contributed to the Chinese wine industry, and I am confident that it will bring new inspiration and opportunities to the global wine community,' she said.
