California Waste Solutions Advances Environmental Technology in Vietnam With Industrial UAVs at Da Phuoc

Published

on

Through subsidiary Vietnam Waste Solutions, CWS expects regular UAV operations in October 2026 after flight permits and operator certification are granted; the program would be the first large-scale aerial environmental-control application at a Vietnamese waste-treatment site.

OAKLAND, Calif., Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — California Waste Solutions (CWS), an Oakland-based recycling and waste management company, is applying advanced environmental technology to its operations in Vietnam. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, Vietnam Waste Solutions (VWS), CWS is preparing to deploy industrial drones for odor control and disinfection at the Da Phuoc Integrated Waste Management Facility in Ho Chi Minh City.

California Waste Solutions subsidiary VWS to launch industrial UAVs in Vietnam for odor control and worker safety.

Regular flight operations are expected to begin in October 2026, once the company has completed required legal procedures and obtained flight permits under Vietnam’s regulations governing unmanned aircraft. Preparations are being conducted to strict standards, with particular emphasis on legal compliance, airspace authorization and certification of flight-control personnel.

Under the program, VWS will use industrial UAVs to spray biological treatment products over active waste-receiving areas, landfill cells and other odor-sensitive zones at Da Phuoc Integrated Waste Management Facility. The drones will help neutralize odors and disinfect surfaces from the air before contaminants disperse more widely, while replacing higher-risk manual spraying work that currently requires crews to operate in close proximity to waste and treatment chemicals.

“We are really excited about these environmentally friendly UAVs. Just as in California, where parent company California Waste Solutions has recently introduced AI into its optical scanners to better support employees, here in Vietnam we are adding another layer of the latest technology to similarly assist our Vietnamese workers with the daily tasks they undertake. Once approved, the plan for the new drones will also benefit the environment and the people of Ho Chi Minh City. It is really a game-changer,” said David Duong, Founder & Owner of California Waste Solutions.

The rollout will make Vietnam Waste Solutions the first waste-treatment company in Vietnam to apply intelligent aerial equipment to routine, large-scale environmental control at an integrated solid-waste facility. The investment is part of a broader modernization of environmental services and is consistent with national policy encouraging enterprises to apply advanced technology, automation and artificial intelligence in operations and environmental protection, including the National Strategy on Digital Transformation and Innovation.

READY TO FLY

Vietnam Waste Solutions has conducted multiple trial drone flights at Da Phuoc to evaluate economic efficiency, coverage quality and environmental improvement before committing to a regular operating schedule. Those trials informed the decision to move from experimental use to a standardized, permit-based program using higher-capacity industrial aircraft.

While VWS is technically ready to fly the drones immediately, the company will not deploy them until all required permissions have been received. The approval process includes flight-route planning, coordination with competent authorities regarding low-altitude operations over an active waste-treatment facility, and standardization of the operating workforce so that personnel meet required qualifications and hold flight-control certification.

“Being a step ahead in demonstrating our leadership in employing environmental technologies is consistent with what we have done throughout our history since starting in Ho Chi Minh City in the mid-2000s. Back then, we said we wanted to build the only U.S.-type Subtitle D-standard landfill and we were willing to invest in the technology to do so. Once again, with this new UAV initiative, Vietnam Waste Solutions is taking the lead in the way it continuously deploys investment in Vietnam,” said Michael Duong, President of California Waste Solutions.

Spraying by UAV is expected to be 50 to 70 times faster than manual methods, allowing tens of thousands of square meters to be treated within minutes, optimizing operating time and resources while reducing the amount of time that active working areas and leachate surfaces remain untreated.

Automated flight mapping, meanwhile, is intended to produce repeatable coverage rather than operator-dependent patterns, with intelligent precision spraying and real-time assessment supporting proactive control instead of reactive, ground-only response.

The technology produces a fine atomized spray so that treatment can occur in the air column and on exposed surfaces before odors, bacteria and other contaminants have an opportunity to travel off-site. The system can also be tasked with insect-control spraying where required.

Operations will be flown only on authorized routes and schedules as permitted. Safety protocols for an active landfill, including weather limits, obstacle clearance around facilities and vehicles, and coordination with ground crews, will be incorporated into standard operating procedures before regular service begins.

“Everything has been meticulously planned ahead of time, and once we receive the permissions to operate the new UAVs, the substantial investment we have made in this state-of-the-art technology is going to provide an immediate benefit to employees, customers and local residents,” said David Duong. “Thanks to Ho Chi Minh City’s visionary local government leadership, we feel that the time is very close when we can see the first few drones in the air.”

EMPLOYEE SAFETY FIRST

In earlier trial work at Da Phuoc, staff reported that a receiving-area spraying task that typically required six workers could be performed by a single trained operator when an unmanned sprayer was used. The aircraft could also treat areas that crews could not safely or practically reach.

For employees, the shift from backpack and vehicle-mounted spraying to remotely piloted application increases labor productivity and reduces workers’ direct and prolonged exposure to chemicals and biological products. One of the biggest benefits will be protecting the long-term health of employees at a facility that operates continuously and handles more than half of Ho Chi Minh City’s daily waste.

“Our employees are the heart and soul of Vietnam Waste Solutions, which is a family company first and foremost. We don’t see investment in our employees as an expense, but as a long-term driver of additional revenue. After all, the healthier and happier your workers are, the more productive they are, and the better the operations of the business become as a result. We have always operated with that principle first in mind,” said David Duong.

The new initiative reflects the increasing trend among market leaders in Vietnam toward modernizing environmental protection and encouraging businesses to apply advanced technology, automation and AI in commercial operations and environmental protection.

The program has received positive assessments from local government authorities familiar with the facility’s odor-control work. Automating a portion of environmental monitoring and treatment reduces dependence on manual labor for hazardous, weather-sensitive tasks and improves the efficiency of urban environmental control, an area Ho Chi Minh City has been actively promoting.

“This is really a major part of our community-relations efforts, which, as we like to say at California Waste Solutions and Vietnam Waste Solutions, are continuous and always improving. It is a really exciting new technology and one we think many of our competitors are likely to copy. In that respect, it is always nice being first,” said Michael Duong, President of California Waste Solutions.

UAV TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS — DJI AGRAS T100

The aircraft designated for the regular program is the DJI Agras T100, an industrial UAV configured for high-volume spraying. Company reference specifications for the platform are as follows:

Flight dimensions of 3,220 mm by 3,224 mm by 975 mm; folded dimensions of 1,105 mm by 1,265 mm by 975 mmLiquid payload of up to 100 litersSpraying capacity of up to 40 liters per minute; spreading capacity of up to 400 kilograms per minute where granular application is usedMaximum operating flight speed of 20 meters per secondEffective spraying performance in the field of approximately 10 to 18 hectares per hour, depending on application rate, wind and terrainGPS-RTK positioning for centimeter-class accuracy on pre-programmed, automated flight paths

FF believes the transaction could give its robotics business a dedicated public-market platform, greater operational and financing independence and a clearer mechanism through which investors can evaluate the business on its own operating fundamentals and long-term potential.

FFAI expects to remain the single largest and controlling stockholder of FFR following completion of the transaction, allowing FFAI to continue participating in the potential future value of the robotics business.

Rationale behind the $200 million valuation of FF EAI Robotics

FFAI and FFR believe that the approximately $200 million proposed valuation reflects the established product, delivery, and commercialization foundation of the FFAI Robotics business, as well as the significant value and long-term growth potential of its “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” ecosystem. In less than one year, the business has launched 24 products across three robot forms, five product series and 11 models, all of which have received FCC certification and achieved commercial deliveries of humanoid and biomimetic robotic products. As of the end of August, cumulative shipments reached 552 units. In the unaudited second quarter of 2026, the business recorded an average gross margin of approximately 30.9% on its “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” robotics products, with cumulative revenue of approximately $1.52 million. The EAI Robotics business targets positive quarterly operating cash flow in the third quarter of 2028 and aims to maintain a Top 3 comprehensive ranking among EAI robotics ecosystem companies over the next five years.

Total revenue from the “Four-Core Full-Stack AI” ecosystem is expected to reach approximately $7.1 million in 2026 and approximately $45.17 million in 2027, with projected cumulative revenue of approximately $1.98 billion over five years. Cumulative EAI Device sales are targeted to exceed 130,000 units over the five-year period.

EAI Robotics Targets First New EAI Device from U.S. Production in Q1 2027

The EAI Robotics is now advancing Phase Two of its “Built in USA” Acceleration Program, building on the three-phase roadmap introduced at Part One of the Company’s business partner conference on August 26. The program is intended to turn FF’s EAI technologies and ecosystem capabilities into longer-term U.S. capabilities in R&D, supply-chain integration, compliance, certification, manufacturing, testing, delivery and services. FF is advancing the development of its Next Futurist and Next Aegis product series while working to build U.S.-based supply-chain and manufacturing capabilities.

The Company has also taken steps to address applicable U.S. regulatory and compliance requirements. On September 2, FF announced an agreement under which AIBOT would provide advisory services concerning applicable FCC, Information and Communications Technology and Services (“ICTS”) and National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) requirements, along with U.S. localization. FF also announced its participation in the FCC’s public-comment process.

The Company intends to evaluate localization opportunities for key EAI Device components, including batteries, motion-control boards, computing boards and robot structures, while progressively expanding U.S.-based assembly, sourcing and manufacturing.

FF is targeting first quarter of 2027 for its first new EAI Device to roll off a U.S. production line, a target the Company publicly announced earlier this month as part of its continuing “Built in USA” strategy. The Company intends to leverage existing manufacturing, supply-chain management, testing, validation and quality-control resources while adapting flexible production lines for final assembly and end-of-line testing of humanoid and quadruped robots.

Over the longer term, FF plans to establish flexible production capabilities capable of supporting multiple EAI Device models on shared manufacturing lines. For FF, “Built in USA” is intended to be more than final assembly. The Company’s long-term objective is to progressively increase U.S. participation across product development, core components, supply chain, compliance, production, testing and delivery while working toward applicable federal sourcing and procurement requirements.

FF EAI Robotics “Made in USA” Industry Alliance Officially Opens for Membership

As part of the conference, FF is also officially opening its EAI Robotics “Made in USA” Industry Alliance to new members. FF originally introduced the Global Industry Alliance initiative during Part One of its “Built in USA, Benefit the World” event on August 26, alongside the three-phase roadmap for its EAI robotics acceleration program. The alliance is centered around three ideas:

Global Innovation. U.S. Platform. Ecosystem Synergy.

FF intends to bring together partners from around the world across robotics, AI, semiconductors, core components, manufacturing, supply chains, research, real-world applications and capital, using the United States as an important platform for innovation, R&D, advanced manufacturing and commercialization.

The alliance is being opened to four broad partner groups:

Cooperation key to driving global shift to clean energy

Published

on

By

BEIJING, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China Daily:

Global climate and environmental experts gathered in Beijing on Sunday, praised China’s pragmatic practices in green transition and called for accelerated global cooperation to address mounting planetary challenges.

“As the world undergoes accelerated transformation unseen in a century, the triple crises of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution continue to deepen, posing severe challenges to human sustainable development,” said Huang Runqiu, Chinese executive vice-chairperson for the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development, an international high-level policy advisory body approved by the Chinese government in 1992.

Huang, who also serves as China’s minister of ecology and environment, noted the growing aspiration from the global community for advancing green transition.

He underscored China’s proactive commitment and tangible actions toward cutting emissions, green growth and global climate governance. These included building the world’s largest clean power and clean steel production systems, marked by ultra-low-emission retrofits on 1.17 billion kilowatts of coal-fired power capacity and 990 million metric tons of crude steel production capacity. Additionally, China has led the world with 101 nuclear power units that are in operation or under construction.

The remarks were made at the opening ceremony of the three-day annual general meeting of the CCICED. Themed “Pragmatic and Innovative Cooperation, Advancing Together for Green Development”, this year’s event seeks to develop a series of forward-looking and constructive policy recommendations through in-depth exchanges and joint research.

Julie Dabrusin, CCICED international executive vice-chairperson and Canada’s minister of environment and climate change, stressed Canada’s long-standing commitment to the council as the cornerstone for bilateral cooperation between China and Canada on environmental and climate issues.

“Addressing climate change is both a moral imperative and an economic and strategic necessity in a world that continues to be carbonized,” said Dabrusin, highlighting Canada’s progress in the fields of clean electricity grids, methane reduction and nature conservation.

She said CCICED’s recommendations have contributed significantly to China’s green transition and resonate with Canada’s own experience, adding that the council’s research on plastics and circular economy remains vital for the legally binding global plastics treaty.

Reflecting on his decades of experience with the council, Xie Zhenhua, former special envoy on climate change of China, called for open, inclusive and pragmatic cooperation, urging the international community to enhance confidence and focus on implementing nationally determined contributions.

Xie cautioned against unilateralism and expressed hope that the council would continue to serve as a bridge between China and the world, offering strategic advice to navigate the complex geopolitical landscape and advance global green transition.

Achim Steiner, former administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, said that China “has rewritten the fundamental assumption about environment and development”.

Steiner spoke highly of the Ecological and Environmental Code, which took effect on Aug 15, and said that China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) represented “a synergistic agenda between environment and development”. In a world plagued by a myriad of challenges, Steiner said, the council should serve as a platform for “pathfinding”, helping advance systematic thinking and effective multilateralism.

Kristin Halvorsen, former director of Norway’s CICERO Center for International Climate Research, said China’s green transition has proved to be both an industrial strategy and an environmental necessity.

She noted that China’s 15th Five-Year Plan translated climate commitments into coordinated cross-governmental actions, offering inspirational lessons for the world.

“The world needs China not only as a transition example and supplier of technologies, but as a force for strong and aligned international cooperation,” Halvorsen said, adding that in a fragmented geopolitical landscape, climate and environmental cooperation is a strategic necessity rather than a luxury.

— Introduces two dual-curable, wearable-friendly formulations: 9208-W electronic coating and 9209-W reworkable encapsulant for printed circuit board applications.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Dymax, a global manufacturer of light-curing adhesives and equipment, launches 9208-W and 9209-W, the newest additions to its 9200-Series product line. The materials are designed to protect board-level electronics found in consumer wearable devices such as smart watches, fitness trackers, and AR/VR headsets.

Both 9208-W and 9209-W combine UV/visible light curing with secondary moisture cure to support cure in shadowed areas commonly found beneath PCB components and within complex part geometries. The materials are LED curable at specific wavelengths, bond to typical electronics substrates, and offer selective protection from environmental exposure that can affect long-term device reliability.

Dymax 9208-W is a wearable-friendly electronic coating that provides a durable barrier from moisture, humidity, corrosion, and thermal stress. The product bonds well to flexible circuit boards to accommodate the repeated bending encountered during everyday device use, and features room-temperature stability to support simplified handling and storage. It also fluoresces blue to facilitate inspection and quality control processes.

Dymax 9209-W is a reworkable encapsulant that helps reduce scrap by enabling repair or replacement of components on printed circuit boards following assembly errors or failed inspections. It protects chips, wire bonds, and sensitive electronics where moisture, thermal, and impact resistance are critical. The IBOA-free formulation is designed for applications with close proximity to the skin.

“Manufacturers need products that help protect increasingly sophisticated electronic assemblies without adding complexity to the production process,” said Doug Katze, Senior Electronics Business Development Manager at Dymax. “9208-W and 9209-W were developed to address real-world assembly challenges, from achieving cure in shadowed areas to protecting sensitive electronics and supporting component repair when needed.” Together, they expand the options available to manufacturers assembling next-generation wearable devices.”
