Rethink the way we produce, use plastics, urges WHO
On the occasion of the World Environment Day 2025 today (June 5), a call has gone out to rethink how we design, produce, and utilise plastics. Products should be designed with multiple uses in mind and recycling, said a statement from WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), this year's campaign focuses on tackling plastic pollution, urging countries, organisations, and individuals to act together to protect the planet. While plastics have benefits, including energy savings and resource conservation, the rising plastic pollution poses a significant threat to our planet and health. Around the globe, plastic pollution is contaminating water supplies, food sources, and the air we breathe. As plastics break down, they enter the food chain. Microplastics have been detected in human arteries, lungs, brains, and breast milk. Global plastic consumption is projected to reach 516 million tonnes this year, and if current consumption patterns continue, it will rise to over 1.2 billion tonnes annually by 2060. Environmental factors contribute to the deaths of about 13 million people worldwide each year. Almost half of these fatalities are attributed to air pollution. The health and economic costs of unhealthy air pollution currently amount to $2.9 trillion. "On World Environment Day, we urge communities to advocate for lasting solutions to combat plastic pollution. Historically, recycling has been a key strategy for mitigating plastic waste. However, only 9% of plastics produced globally are recycled, and it is estimated that just 21% of plastic today is economically recyclable, meaning the value of recycled materials covers the costs of collection, sorting, and processing," said the statement from WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region. "The benefits of addressing plastic pollution include cleaner oceans and landscapes, healthier individuals and ecosystems, improved climate resilience, and stronger economies. Transitioning to a circular economy for plastics is essential for a sustainable future. We must rethink how we design, produce, and utilise plastics. Products should be designed with multiple uses in mind and recycling," it said. This transformation requires the engagement of stakeholders across the plastics value chain. A just transition is necessary to protect the livelihoods of waste pickers and affected communities, leaving no one behind. Solutions exist. In 2022, at the UN Environment Assembly, Member States agreed to initiate negotiations on a legally binding international instrument to address plastic pollution, including its impact on marine environments. Since then, countries have convened 5 sessions of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) on Plastic Pollution to work towards a comprehensive agreement.

Teledyne GFD partners with IDS to manufacture in Saudi Arabia
Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection (Teledyne GFD) is partnering with Industrial Detection Solutions (IDS) to establish a new 699 sq m manufacturing facility in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. This partnership will enable the local production of high-precision sensors for detecting toxic and combustible gases, helping to protect workers and assets at oil and gas production/drilling facilities, LNG/CNG plants, and refining and petrochemical sites. A grand opening ceremony will officially declare the plant open on June 19, the company said. Gas detection is an essential safety aspect throughout the oil and gas industry. With so much activity in the Middle East, Teledyne GFD wanted to bring the production of key gas detection solutions closer to their point of use. This strategy also aligns with the IKTVA (In-Kingdom Total Value Add) programme that promotes local manufacturing in KSA. IKTVA is an initiative to increase economic diversification and create a sustainable ecosystem in Saudi Arabia's oil and gas industry. The programme aims to increase the use of in-Kingdom suppliers, expand local supply chain capabilities and capacities, and drive industry collaboration through supplier development. By partnering with Industrial Detection Solutions, Teledyne GFD will help to meet the ambitions of the IKTVA via the local manufacture of popular products like its DM-700 toxic gas sensor, and FP-700 and IR-700 combustible gas sensors. 'Our new partnership with Industrial Detection Solutions ensures that manufacturing is closer to both customers and suppliers, enabling even faster delivery of class-leading gas detection products in support of more efficient supply chains,' says Thomas Moeller, VP Sales & Marketing at Teledyne GFD. 'The proven solutions manufactured in KSA will better serve a vast regional industry that recognises the importance of a robust and prevalent safety culture. We are proud to be part of KSA's remarkable ongoing journey of economic and industrial growth, and we look forward to a successful future together.' The DM-700 is a non-intrusive 'smart' sensor that detects and monitors oxygen and toxic gases in the air using electrochemical sensor technology. The intelligent, plug-in, field-replaceable cell automatically recognises gas type and range. Teledyne GFD's FP-700 is also a non-intrusive 'smart' sensor, this time for the detection and monitoring of combustible gases over the range of 0-100% LEL using catalytic bead sensor technology. The IR-700 is a similar solution for combustible hydrocarbon gases. It uses miniature non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) optical sensor technology to detect and monitor gases over the range of 0-100% LEL.

MSA Safety Incorporated, a global leader in the development of advanced products and solutions that help protect people and facility infrastructures, has announced a partnership with Mohammed Hassan Sherbiny for Commerce to assemble and supply MSA's line of General Monitors S5000 Gas Monitors within Saudi Arabia. Sherbiny, a leader in industrial local manufacturing, offering premium equipment and solutions for the oil and gas industry, will assemble the MSA products locally at its facility in Al-Khobar. The facility has been approved by Saudi Aramco under its In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) program. IKTVA was established by Saudi Aramco to increase local investment, manufacturing and jobs throughout the kingdom. 'We're very excited to have this product assembly partnership in place,' said Dave Howells, President of MSA International. 'The partnership aligns with MSA's Accelerate strategy, which includes a focus on growing the company's global detection business. By providing local assembly capabilities and supporting Saudi Aramco's IKTVA program, Sherbiny enhances our ability to serve customers in the region, with faster delivery while also strengthening our technical support capacity, quality control and customer service,' he said. Howells added that MSA Safety will expand its local service and training teams to further support Sherbiny and its growing customer base. Majed Sherbiny, Chief Executive Officer for Mohammed Hassan Sherbiny for Commerce, commented: 'At Sherbiny, our core value is customer focus, and we are dedicated to putting the customer at the center of our world,' he said. 'We are proud to be one of the premier partners for Saudi Aramco over the past 35 years, and we are thankful for them in supporting our local manufacturing initiatives that enable us to directly provide the best quality products and services that our customers deserve. 'Our partnership with MSA to locally assemble its state-of-the-art detection technologies, like the S5000 Gas Monitor, represents an exciting new phase in that partnership,' Sherbiny said. 'We view the partnership as a starting point that can lead to more local assembly work over the coming years, as we are committed to fulfilling the Kingdom's Vision 2030 economic development program, alongside Saudi Aramco and its IKTVA initiative.' The S5000 Gas Monitor utilises MSA's proprietary XCell hydrogen sulfide (H2S) sensor with TruCal® technology. This innovative technology reduces the users' total cost of ownership with improved sensor performance in high-risk applications. It is also a direct replacement for customers using the previous model of hydrogen sulfide detectors. Howells noted the Middle East has long been a strategic growth region for MSA Safety. 'This partnership represents an important, cooperative venture that enhances MSA's ability to build a substantial fleet of fixed gas and flame detectors and related services in Saudi Arabia. Like Sherbiny, we welcome the opportunity to support Saudi Aramco's IKTVA program and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 program by positioning our two organizations to better meet infrastructure and worker safety needs.' - TradeArabia News Service
