CVS Health, Target, Walmart to Combat Plastic Waste
The Consortium to Reinvent the Retail Bag, managed by Closed Loop Partners, reached a significant milestone a year after its founding: the launch of a series of tests and first-of-a-kind multi-retailer pilots to advance sustainable alternatives to the single-use plastic bag and accelerate their potential to scale. The pilots will help refine winning solutions from the Consortium's global Beyond the Bag innovation challenge, evaluating multiple factors, from technical feasibility to desirability, and will run over a six-week period.
Beyond the Bag Challenge winners ChicoBag, Fill it Forward, GOATOTE and 99Bridges will begin pilots across a total of nine stores of the Consortium's Founding Partners––CVS Health, Target and Walmart––in Northern California. The solutions being tested include multiple reusable bag models, alongside enabling technologies, which help serve customers' needs, extend the useful life of retail bags and provide visibility into the full lifecycle of a bag. Across the select stores, customers can sign up and try these new solutions, whether it's to borrow, incentivize or receive reminders to use a reusable bag. The partnership among leading retailers' different stores sets an exciting precedent; collaboration will help accelerate pathways to scale and help address the systemic challenge of plastic bag waste.

Antavo Launches New Bug Bounty Program to Identify Potential Security Vulnerabilities
In order to ensure the highest level of data security in its product, Antavo launches a new bug bounty program. Doing so provides ethical white hat hackers with a platform to submit their findings of potential security flaws and receive appropriate compensation and recognition.
As a B2B company specializing in customer loyalty, data security and information privacy play an important role in Antavo’s policy because modern customers only trust companies that handle their data with the utmost care.
“Antavo dedicates a considerable amount of resources to expanding its infrastructure and development teams to deliver the highest possible data and privacy protection for both its clients and their customers. Still, sometimes an outside perspective can yield further findings, which is why we have decided to enlist the help of white hat hackers from all across the globe.” says Csaba Horvath, Antavo’s Engineering Director.
