HANOI, Vietnam, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Speaking at the GWEC APAC Wind Energy Summit in Hanoi, Goldwind, a reliable global strategic partner in clean energy, reaffirmed its deep commitment to the Asia-Pacific region. Operating in 10 countries across APAC, Goldwind is driving the region’s energy transition through deep localization, ecosystem collaboration, and tailored clean energy solutions.

Drawing on two decades of international experience, Goldwind articulated a clear evolution at the summit: true globalization is not just about “going global” — it is about “landing well.” This strategic shift from pure market expansion to ecosystem building has already delivered tangible results. Goldwind’s cumulative installed capacity now exceeds 165 GW across 49 countries.

Across Asia Pacific, Goldwind delivers diversified, tangible impact: grid-forming storage in Australia, talent cultivation, localized supply chain and rapid delivery in Vietnam, typhoon-resilient designs in the Philippines, and hybrid towers that boost output in Thailand.

Dong Yinming, CEO of Goldwind Asia, emphasized in his keynote address at the summit:

“In Asia, our commitment goes beyond delivering turbines — we strive to be a locally-rooted system partner, supporting projects across the full lifecycle to create long-term value. Empowering local projects with global expertise and deeply cultivating the Asia-Pacific market — that is what true ‘landing well’ means for a greener, more prosperous region.”

 

Wu Kai, Vice President of Goldwind, added:

“Scaling wind power in Asia requires more than just installing additional turbines. It demands innovative solutions tailored to the region’s unique complexity. Closing the gap between ambition and implementation in Asia’s wind sector takes more than any single company. Let’s share what works, learn from each other, and co-create solutions that deliver lasting value — for the industry, for communities, and for the future.”

Looking ahead, Goldwind aims to deepen its local roots across every market it serves, empowering Asia’s energy transition with global expertise and local adaptation. As the region accelerates toward a green future, Goldwind remains committed to being a trusted, long-term partner — rooted in APAC, thriving together.

Bambu Lab Launches PLA Pure: A Filament Made for Printing Where You Live

Published

on

By

AUSTIN, Texas, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As desktop 3D printers become a fixture in homes around the world, Bambu Lab – one of the fastest-growing companies in the consumer 3D printing space – is raising the bar on what a home printing filament should be. Today, Bambu Lab announced the launch of PLA Pure, a filament engineered for cleaner, safer home 3D printing, with every ingredient certified compliant with EU 10/2011, the European regulation governing plastics intended for food contact.

Five Ingredients. Each One Earned Its Place.

PLA Pure draws on materials you encounter in everyday life:

Polylactic acid (PLA) – derived from corn and sugarcane.Acrylic copolymer – commonly found in children’s toys.Color pigments – also used in baby tableware.EBS (ethylene bis-stearamide) – familiar from food packaging films.Talc – used in products such as biodegradable drinking straws; independently tested by a third party and verified asbestos-free.

Every ingredient appears on the EU 10/2011 positive list with a traceable FCM (Food Contact Material) substance number. Raw materials are supplied by global manufacturers including TotalEnergies Corbion, Dow, Chemours, and BASF, making compliance and traceability straightforward.

Most filaments marketed as food-contact compliant are tested only as finished products. PLA Pure is verified ingredient by ingredient, from the base material to the pigments.

Cleaner Air at Your Desk

Since printing often happens in living spaces, emissions matter. PLA Pure carries UL 2904 GREENGUARD certification*, the recognized standard for 3D printer emissions that measures particulate matter and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) for indoor air quality impact.

Particle and VOC levels during printing fall below what’s typically present in an average kitchen, living room, or office.In a four-hour continuous printing test conducted by an accredited laboratory, PLA Pure produced lower PM2.5 and PM10 emissions than a comparable filament under identical conditions.Proper ventilation is still recommended to minimize inhalation of any printing byproducts.

Bambu Lab’s PLA Basic also holds indoor air quality certification under the same standard, but PLA Pure’s cleaner ingredient profile yields even lower emission levels-particularly relevant when printing near children, pets, or in shared living spaces.

*Testing was conducted on Bambu Lab A1 and A2L printers, both open-deck models without enclosure or filtration. This setup represents the baseline emission scenario, where filament emissions are measured directly without any additional containment.

Safety Is One Thing. Reliability Is Another.

Most filaments rely on impact modifiers and flow agents to achieve consistent print results. PLA Pure takes a different approach: to keep the formula to five food-safe ingredients, Bambu Lab rebuilt the formulation from scratch—iterating until the chemistry alone could deliver what additives typically do. The result is less residue, reduced nozzle buildup, and more consistent extrusion spool after spool.

Less stringing — even without prior drying, PLA Pure produces noticeably fewer strings than typical third-party filaments.Cleaner surfaces — finished parts require less post-processing.Strength intact — PLA Pure matches PLA Basic in mechanical performance, with layer adhesion comparable to most PLA materials on the market.

All printing parameters are stored in the RFID tag and automatically read by the AMS system. Load the spool, let the material synchronize itself, and start printing. No guesswork required.

Toy Safety

The material has also passed EN 71-3 certification, the European safety standard that governs the migration of certain elements from toy materials. The standard’s main concern is whether potentially harmful elements-such as lead, cadmium, chromium, and other heavy metals-can leach out of a material when a child handles, mouths, or swallows it. It also sets strict limits on the permissible migration of each.

Passing this test makes the material suitable for models meant to be handled and played with: a toy kitchen plate, a small car, a cat toy.

As with any 3D-printed toy, common sense still applies. Small parts and support structures can pose a choking hazard, edges may be sharp, and the material is combustible. Models should be selected appropriately, and children should be supervised during play.

A Note on Application

These certifications apply to the filament itself and its ingredients. Whether a specific printed object is suitable for a particular application depends on factors such as equipment hygiene (especially nozzle cleanliness), printing conditions, and how the object is ultimately used. Because of the layered structure of FFF prints, they are not suitable for liquid foods, and PLA itself should not be exposed to temperatures above 60°C (like putting 3D prints into dishwashers). Bambu Lab recommends that users consider these factors when selecting a material for a specific application. PLA Pure provides a fully documented ingredient profile-the rest of the decisions are yours to make with confidence.

Availability

PLA Pure is available now at Bambu Lab Official Store

Price: USD 24.99 (With Spool)/ USD 21.99 (Refill)

Additional details regarding availability, colors, and variants will be announced separately.
