Learning Pool partners with Responsible Plastic Management for ‘Zero Plastic to Landfill’ challenge
DERRY, Northern Ireland, July 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Taking steps towards a more sustainable future, Learning Pool, the global provider of corporate learning solutions, partnered with Responsible Plastic Management (RPM) by joining the ‘Zero Plastic to Landfill’ challenge during this Plastic Free July.
The RPM Program is a membership and certification initiative for organizations seeking to manage plastic use and circularity as effectively as possible. The ‘Zero Plastic to Landfill’ challenge was set up to help engage organizations that are actively playing their part in plastic management.
In solidarity with the global movement to reduce unnecessary plastic and plastic waste, Learning Pool is committed to minimizing its impact on the environment and driving positive change. By taking on the ‘Zero Plastic to Landfill’ challenge, Learning Pool aims to eliminate the disposal of plastic waste in landfills, contributing to preserving our precious ecosystems and safeguarding the health of our planet for future generations.
Leading on the project, Learning Pool’s Facilities Manager, Chris Myers-Smith met Aaron Marshall, Engagement Director at RPM at Learning Pool headquarters in Derry, Northern Ireland. Aaron said, “Learning Pool’s commitment to the ‘Zero Plastic to Landfill’ challenge validates their support for sustainable practices, reducing plastic waste to landfill, and promoting responsible plastic management in their organization. Learning Pool is leading by example.”
Chris also commented, “Learning Pool is following the footsteps of corporations like McDonald’s and The Coca-Cola Company to reduce the use of single-use plastics. In ongoing efforts to minimize our environmental impact, we have partnered with RPM to ensure that our contributions to the global eradication of single-use plastic are certified and that any plastic we do use is recycled, reused, or compostable.
“We have also taken proactive measures such as assessing our carbon footprint, changing suppliers and supplies, and actively participating in litter picks in cities, towns, and beaches.”
Earlier this year, Learning Pool received accreditation as a B Corporation™ joining a growing group of companies reinventing business by pursuing purpose as well as profit. “As a forward-thinking organization, we are constantly seeking new and innovative ways to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead. The RPM program and its ‘Zero Plastic to Landfill’ challenge is just one example of how we are prepared to tackle these challenges head on to ensure our continued success in the future,” Chris continued.

A Finiko executive has been sentenced to three years in prison by a Russian court for her involvement in what is described as the largest crypto scam in the post-Soviet era.
According to Izvestia, Liliya Nurieva, the former head of networks at Finiko, received a four and a half year sentence from a court in Vakhitovsky, Kazan on May 17. However, the court stated that it would take into account the time she had already spent in pre-trial detention as “time served.”
Despite prosecutors’ requests for a six and a half year sentence, the judge rejected them. Nurieva, who had faced a possible 10-year imprisonment, reached a “pre-trial agreement” with prosecutors.
Nurieva’s defense attorney announced her intention to appeal the verdict. She was convicted of fraud and organized crime-related charges.
Finiko, initially presented as a crypto “investment fund” in 2018, allegedly defrauded citizens of around $1.1 billion, according to the country’s Central Bank. Much of this sum remains unrecovered.
The unraveling of the project began in 2021, leading to the flight of many Finiko figures abroad. After an international manhunt, Interpol detained co-founder Edvard Sabirov in the UAE in late 2022, while co-founder Kirill Doronin was arrested in mid-2021.
However, Nurieva is the first Finiko executive to be convicted and sentenced.
Finiko promised investors an “automated profit-generating system” with returns of “up to 30%” on investments of $1,000 or more. It also offered various lending and financial services with lucrative terms.
The company allegedly employed Ponzi scheme tactics, using funds from new investors to pay off older ones. By mid-2021, its platforms became unstable, with customers reporting delayed payments. In June of that year, payments ceased entirely, the value of its cryptocurrency plummeted, and Finiko offices nationwide abruptly closed.
During its peak, Finiko enjoyed popularity on social media, and initial estimates suggested nearly 10,000 individuals invested in its platforms.
Nurieva’s defense argued that she was unaware of Finiko’s fraudulent nature upon joining and had invested her own money in the company. It wasn’t until later interactions with senior executives that she realized the scheme’s illegitimacy.
Some Finiko investors attended the trial, with one, Lyudmila Yamshchikova from Kazan, expressing disappointment over halted payments, which she had relied on for mortgage payments and other financial obligations.

Hong Kong’s launch of its first Bitcoin and Ether ETFs in late April aimed to capture part of the $55 billion US market. However, the ETFs have experienced investor outflows, perplexing analysts. Experts attribute this to concerns over China’s strict crypto stance and high management fees compared to US products.
Despite initial setbacks, some analysts remain optimistic. Bloomberg’s Rebecca Sin notes that total assets under management (AUM) exceed $250 million, indicating potential growth to $1 billion within two years. Hong Kong’s crypto journey is still unfolding, facing challenges from regulatory uncertainties and regional competitors like Singapore and Dubai.
On the Flipside
High Management Fees: Hong Kong’s ETFs have higher fees than similar US products, potentially deterring investors.
Regulatory Uncertainty: The evolving regulatory landscape in Hong Kong may create hesitancy among investors.
Institutional Adoption: Established financial institutions in Hong Kong may be slow to embrace crypto, limiting market growth.
