• Extreme weather events have led to catastrophic conditions across the world, including a 21% YoY increase in US wildfires thus far in 2021
• The situation has led to increased demand for tree, debris clearing services
• Due to extreme heat and ongoing drought, demand for Sustainable Green Team’s end products has seen dramatic increase

In July of 2021, a number of European countries such as Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherland were devastated as they were lashed by up to two months’ worth of rain over the course of only two days, on ground which in many cases was “already near saturation” (https://ibn.fm/YjxKG). The floods due to extreme rain events in Western Europe – said to be the worst in a century – have claimed at least 188 lives. Similar extreme climate events have also manifested themselves in North America; California reportedly finds itself in the grips of the worst drought in over 1,200 years while Utah and Nevada have recently witnessed record temperatures. The extreme heat, coupled with a severe and ongoing drought, has led to a 21% year-over-year increase in wildfires—a lamentable situation which in turn has led to record levels of demand for tree and waste disposal services such as those proffered by the Sustainable Green Team (OTC: SGTM), a leading provider of environmentally beneficial solutions for tree and storm waste disposal. Tree and debris removal has gained increased importance, both to recover sites following catastrophic weather events as well as to prevent future damage. For instance, the City of Malibu’s local government has launched a free, grant-funded fire hazard tree removal and chipper program to help residents prepare for wildfires (https://ibn.fm/c6ArH). “Brush clearance and removing hazard trees are important ways to create defensible space to make your home more fire resistant, help firefighters stay safe while defending your home, and protect the whole community from wildfires,” said Malibu mayor Paul Grisanti. “Here in Malibu, the next big wildfire is just around the corner, not just in peak wildfire season. So it’s up to us all as individuals and as a community to do everything possible to be ready.” SGTM’s subsidiary National Storm Recovery LLC specializes in providing customers with tree services and debris hauling as well as removal and bio-mass recycling, among other services. The company operates a vertically integrated model, which allows it to transform natural waste created by wildfires, hurricanes, ice storms and floods into useful organic products that benefit the environment through tree services. These services include debris hauling, biomass recycling, waste removal, mulch manufacturing, packaging and sales, and the production of playground surface material. The increase in demand for SGTM’s debris clearing services has also coincided with increased demand for the company’s end-products. Sustainable Green Team’s focus on finding environmental solutions for waste products through the manufacture of mulch products has coincided with a greater-than-ever need for such product amidst the record heat wave currently affecting the country. Increasingly, landscape professionals and gardeners are taking advantage of mulch, which helps soil retain moisture and decreases the need for excessive watering (https://ibn.fm/oENLT). “There are a number of advantages to adding mulch in your garden,” states a recent “Better Homes and Garden” article. “In the summer, mulch helps the soil hold moisture so you don’t have to water as often. In the hot sun, soil also tends to dry out faster and harden. Mulch will help protect the soil from baking in direct sunlight and keep your plants happy” (https://ibn.fm/NLREO).

• FuelPositive Corporation is at the forefront of endorsing clean energy and putting systems in place to achieve that goal
• With its technology, the company is helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions associated with the production of ammonia
• FuelPositive is also positioning itself to capitalize on the growth of the global green ammonia market, set to grow by a CAGR of 54% between 2020 and 2025
• It is also pushing for green ammonia as a replacement for fossil fuels in transportation, enabling a hydrogen economy and offering a new clean option for grid storage

On Monday, August 9, 2021, the United Nations (“UN”) climate panel released the Climate Change 2021 report. The science-backed study warned that the world is already bound to face further climate disruptions, with some of the changes already playing out, including warming oceans, extreme weather conditions, and rising sea levels (https://ibn.fm/O7QoT). António Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, termed the findings as a “code red for humanity.” He further added that the “alarm bells are deafening, and the evidence is irrefutable (https://ibn.fm/Gu9G5).” Of note, from the report is the human influence on climate change, which remains undisputed. Decades of harmful human activity have brought the world to where it is today. In 2021 alone, heatwaves have killed hundreds of people and animals in the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, there are wildfires in the west of the United States and the Siberian forests, all of which are driving people away from their homes (https://ibn.fm/ncYkL). The need and the push for clean energy are needed now more than ever, and companies such as FuelPositive (TSX.V: NHHH) (OTCQB: NHHHF) are at the forefront of not only endorsing that but also putting systems in place to achieve that specific goal. FuelPositive Corp. is a growth-stage enterprise whose focus is on partnership, licensing, and acquisition opportunities, building on various technological achievements. Its paramount commitment is to offer commercially viable and sustainable clean energy solutions including, but not limited to, carbon-free ammonia (“NH3”) that can then be used in a range of applications and is used primarily in agriculture. FuelPositive Corp. is at the forefront of pushing for green ammonia, not just in agriculture, but also in other sectors such as energy production and transportation. The economic viability is present, particularly given that the global green ammonia market is set to grow by a compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 54% between 2020 and 2025 (https://ibn.fm/pAo5x). In addition to pushing for green ammonia, FuelPositive is also driving the narrative associated with green ammonia adoption. Most notably, the company is encouraging the adoption of carbon-free NH3 in transportation, thereby doing away with fossil fuels. As a replacement, ammonia’s only emissions will be water vapor instead of fossil fuel’s carbon dioxide (https://ibn.fm/iHHhq). This will contribute significantly to a greener planet. As for any Nitrous Oxides generated during internal combustion in vehicles, they would be eliminated through catalytic converters. In agriculture, they will be addressed by injecting the liquid fertilizer deep into the ground, which is already standard in farming today. FuelPositive also notes that with its carbon-free NH3, it will be easier to make electricity more accessible to remote communities. Additionally, it will offer long-term storage of excess electricity for energy grids. This will reduce the current overreliance on fossil fuels for energy generation while eliminating the wastage of excess electricity due to improper, unreliable, and unsustainable long-term storage options. Green ammonia involves the production of ammonia through a process that is carbon-free and 100% sustainable. Typically, ammonia is commonly made from water, air, and methane through a method referred to as steam methane reforming (“SMR”) for hydrogen production and the Haber process. About 90% of the carbon dioxide produced comes from the SMR process, cumulatively contributing 1.8% of the global carbon dioxide emissions. The entire process is also known to consume a lot of energy. With FuelPositive’s green ammonia, hydrogen is sourced from water electrolysis, while nitrogen is separated from the air. These are then fed into the company’s in-house core technology, which results in ammonia production. The technology is currently patent pending. With the world growing more conscious about global warming and its effects globally, society is realizing that something needs to be done sooner rather than later. FuelPositive is at the forefront, providing clean energy solutions and addressing a sector whose role in global warming is significant. FuelPositive’s unique technology fits perfectly in a world and an industry that is committed to going carbon-free. With so much ammonia being used in agriculture, the company’s technology can significantly reduce fertilizer-related carbon emissions in this sector. The company is positioning itself to capitalize on the global green ammonia market set for growth in the coming years. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.FuelPositive.com.

• Growing numbers of smokers are looking for nontobacco choices
• In 2018, out of the 34.2 million people that smoke in America, 55% tried smoking alternatives
• TAAT offers an experience that mimics the tobacco cigarette experience in taste, smell, touch, sight and sound

The number of adult smokers choosing alternatives to traditional tobacco products is on the rise, according to a recent Grandview Research Report (https://ibn.fm/1JZh2).  TAAT(TM) Global Alternatives’ (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQX: TOBAF) (FRANKFURT: 2TP2) is on the forefront of providing tobacco-free, nicotine-free alternatives. The company’s flagship product, TAAT, has been on an impressive trajectory since its launch less than a year ago. The game-changing tobacco-free, nicotine-free alternative was voted Best New Product at the annual HQ Event convention and is now available in hundreds of retail locations around the country, with that number increasing almost daily. “Technological advancements in the nicotine replacement therapy segment are ongoing, which has led to a rise in the number of people switching to advanced products,” noted the report. “These advancements have a variable range of effectiveness and are accepted in society when compared to traditional cigarettes, thus driving their adoption and boosting the market growth. “The global nicotine replacement therapy market size was valued at $44.2 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (‘CAGR’) of 16.3% from 2021 to 2028,” the report continued. “The growth can be attributed to the growing number of technological advancements and the increasing number of people undergoing nicotine replacement therapy (‘NRT’).” According to Brightview, in 2018, out of the 34.2 million people that smoke in America, 55% tried smoking alternatives. TAAT is designed so that smokers can enjoy the sensations of smoking, without the worry about tobacco and nicotine. “At TAAT, we understand that smokers aged 21+ don’t just use cigarettes because of the nicotine, as it is often about the rituals, moments, and experience associated with smoking a cigarette,” the company observed (https://ibn.fm/vJJbJ). “TAAT offers the Beyond Nicotine(TM) experience with its Beyond Tobacco base material, which mimics the tobacco cigarette experience in taste, smell, touch, sight, and sound. TAAT offers the choice to reduce nicotine intake without compromising the smoking experience.” The unique experience that TAAT provides is certainly catching people’s attention. In its first convention appearance since launching in October of last year, TAAT was voted Best New Product and earned the second-highest honor as Best in Show (https://ibn.fm/Ieloz). In addition, after TAAT signed a distribution agreement with a Georgia-based distributor that has a network of approximately 1,200 stores in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Alabama, the product was on shelves in 71 new retail locations in a matter of only a few weeks, bringing its total store count in the United States to more than 400 as of the beginning of July (https://ibn.fm/uYhBU). This appears to be only the beginning for the company, which has seen meteoric success in less than a year. “Now that we have been marketing TAAT to smokers aged 21+ in the United States for a matter of several months, much of the groundwork has already been completed in new markets where we’re launching TAAT at retail,” said TAAT CEO Setti Coscarella. “Around the end of Q2 2021, TAAT had already proven popular in Georgia with e-commerce orders and free pack requests to GA shipping addresses amounting to approximately 14% and 20% of the respective numbers for Ohio, where we were actively promoting the product to smokers aged 21+, despite no targeted promotions on the east coast. “It wasn’t a surprise that our first wholesale shipment to Georgia was completely pre-sold, nor was it a surprise for TAAT to already be carried in over 70 stores in just a few weeks after the shipment arrived,” he continued. “With our production capacity set to expand this month with the new TAAT facilities in Las Vegas, our team has all hands on deck to sustain this momentum.” TAAT Global Alternatives has developed TAAT, a tobacco-free and nicotine-free alternative to traditional cigarettes available in Original, Smooth and Menthol varieties. TAAT’s base material is Beyond Tobacco, a proprietary blend that undergoes a patent-pending refinement technique causing its scent and taste to resemble tobacco. Under executive leadership with Big Tobacco pedigree, TAAT was launched first in the United States in Q4 2020 as the company seeks to position itself in the $814 billion global tobacco industry.

• Kaival has started production of the Bidi(TM) Pouch ahead of anticipated September launch

As of market opening on July 29, 2021, common shares of Kaival Brands Innovations Group (NASDAQ: KAVL), the exclusive global distributor of products manufactured by Bidi Vapor LLC,  will be available for trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol KAVL (https://ibn.fm/2G1DT). The move is a “monumental milestone” for the company, said KAVL founder and CEO Niraj Patel (https://ibn.fm/WAoeb). “I am pleased to announce that the company has been approved to begin trading on Nasdaq,” said Mr. Patel. “This event represents another monumental milestone in our company’s short history. We have worked diligently to achieve this goal and are humbled and grateful on the inclusion to the Nasdaq. We are more enthusiastic than ever about being able to harness Kaival’s exciting potential.” Bidi Vapor’s flagship product, the Bidi Stick, is a one-time use, closed-system, disposable vaping device that is both tamper resistant and recyclable (https://ibn.fm/Qy0NA). The stick is designed to provide satisfying nicotine levels in each drag. The Bidi Stick is sold largely through national convenience store chains; it is also available online through authorized direct retailers as well as the digital convenience store, GoPuff. Additionally, the company also has started the production of the Bidi(TM) Pouch ahead of an anticipated September launch (https://ibn.fm/S9OQh). The Bidi(TM) Pouch rollout had been delayed because of COVID-based manufacturing and supply chain constraints, so as a result, the company moved manufacturing in-house. The Bidi Pouch offers a proprietary tobacco-free nicotine formulation contained in an easy-to-go plastic can. The pouch is one of few pouch products in the market formulated without utilizing the Swedish Match formula. “I am pleased to confirm that we expect to take delivery of the pouch-manufacturing machines to our warehouse the end of August and anticipate beginning production in September with our first run expected to yield up to 500,000 cans,” said Patel. “We are excited to launch distribution of the Bidi Pouch and have been working behind the scenes during COVID-based delays to secure initial distribution.” As the exclusive distributor of Bidi Vapor, Kaival shares Bidi’s mission to provide recreational, non-combusted alternatives for adult cigarette smokers. In those efforts, both companies adamantly oppose illegal underage tobacco use, including electronic nicotine delivery system (“ENDS”) use, by minors. The companies are committed to responsible marketing and advertising targeting adult tobacco users aged 21 and older. Based on that commitment, Kaival requires all of its direct retail partners to sign a wholesaler and direct retailer agreement that ensures that customers will be asked to provide property ID to prove age eligibility. Based in Grant, Florida, Kaival Brands is a company focused on growing and incubating innovative and profitable products into mature and dominant brands in their respective markets. The company’s vision is to develop internally, acquire or own, and exclusively distribute these profitable brands with recognizable innovation and superior quality.

In July 2021, Nextech AR Solutions (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) announced that it had closed a multi-event deal with FENEX for the fenestration sector’s first virtual exhibition platform. The event would run on NexTech’s LiveX platform and bring together the entire supply chain, mainly manufacturers, distributors, and retailers (https://ibn.fm/UohTB). The deal, worth approximately $185,000, will showcase NexTech’s technology and ability to support and connect buyers and sellers in a Business-to-Business (“B2B”) environment. In a statement from Evan Gappelberg, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of NexTech, he noted: “We value highly strategic ecosystem builders like FENEX who are developing the digital marketplaces of the future for high growth sectors leveraging NexTech’s Augmented Reality and LiveX platforms. We believe that digital product demos will become a standard in sectors like home improvement, where buyers can engage with technical products from every angle with step-by-step instructions in 3D.” FENEX is a pioneer in the fenestration sector, which focuses on arranging openings such as doors, skylights, curtain walls, and windows in a building. The company is committed to bringing together the entire supply chain and has strengthened its media, marketing, and online business to get its services even closer to its consumers (https://ibn.fm/atZtV). Through the deal with NexTech, FENEX will have the industry’s first virtual exhibition in a move that, it projects, will allow the company to scale its marketplaces to other high-growth sectors. “When many of the major home improvement shows are canceling events, FENEX has been able to innovate by partnering with NexTech AR Solutions to advance hybrid and virtual events to bring manufacturers, buyers and sellers together into digital marketplaces,” noted Lee Clarke, the CEO of FENEX. “Our vision is to continue to scale these marketplaces to other high growth sectors,” he added. NexTech is a Toronto-based leader in the augmented reality (“AR”) industry. It has a two-pronged strategy for rapid growth that includes the acquisition of eCommerce businesses as well as the development of its omnichannel AR Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) platform, ARitize. With this, NexTech has helped bring AR to advertising, eCommerce, education, training, and video conferencing, creating an AR ecosystem. The multi-event deal with FENEX shows NexTech’s commitment to advancing hybrid and virtual events through innovation. The company is also currently developing a platform for creating and publishing three-dimensional (“3D”) images- at scale- from 2-dimensional (“2D”) originals. This platform is aimed at facilitating the digital transformation of online shopping and education. NexTech is also scheduled to present at the next OTCQB Venture Virtual Investor Conference on Thursday, August 5, 2021 (https://ibn.fm/Dvjf9). The event welcomes investors, institutional investors, analysts, and advisors from various industries and sectors.
