The world laments the way its population is treating the environment. Energy may be a hot topic at the moment, but it is a relatively new issue in the public’s mind. Consumer-based waste products have been around for more than a few decades; just think of the “reduce-reuse-recycle” mantra. In today’s marketplace, there is finally some technology available to cope with part of this waste issue.

More good news for digital media advertising company Destination Television Incorporated (DSTV.OB) today as a month long research study from Australia publishes its results. The study, which combines work by Galaxy Research and Sigma audited point-of-sale data, compared two products (Hydralyte and Blackmores Women’s Vitality) in four pharmacies year-on-year, month-on-month and like-for-like stores.
