THE WHAT? Unilever has added one of the world’s first heavy-duty electric trucks to its fleet. The 44-tonne Volvo truck will run entirely on renewable power and is the first HGeV to meet the UK-based FMCG supplier’s business need thanks to its 540kWh battery capacity and 185-mile range.
THE DETAILS The company has invested in high-power charging infrastructure at its Tiel distribution center in the Netherlands to allow for recharging for this truck and those4 added to the fleet in the future.
THE WHY? If the pilot is successful, the use of HGeVs will be an important step, enabling Unilever to meet its value chain goal of net zero by 2039. The manufacturer of Dove said that its logistics sustainability strategy has two key objectives: reducing the distances driven and ‘greening’ those miles that can’t be avoided.
Michelle Grose, Unilever Head of Global Logistics, commented, “Electrification of our transport and distribution activities is at the heart of Unilever’s logistics sustainability strategy. This launch represents a significant step forward in putting that strategy into action and marks a milestone towards more and more electrification in Europe.”
Injectable aesthetics are popular due to their ability to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They are versatile and can be tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, whether it's enhancing lips, restoring facial volume, or smoothing out wrinkles. However, they should always be administered by qualified professionals to ensure safety and achieve optimal results.
Injectable aesthetics are used to enhance facial features, reduce the signs of aging, and improve overall facial symmetry and appearance.
Key types of injectable aesthetics include:
-
Dermal Fillers: These injectables are used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They often contain substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which help plump up the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
-
Collagen Stimulators: These injectables stimulate the body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time. Examples include poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-
Neurotoxin Injections: Besides Botox, other neurotoxins such as Dysport and Xeomin are used similarly to reduce wrinkles and lines.
