Professionals might understand the property market dynamics. Unlike South Bombay, this market is quite reasonably priced, and yet there are many employment opportunities in the area.

There is 1 BHK in Goregaon West near the station in a city like Mumbai with a higher demand for property near the railway station. According to a local property dealer who maintains the market dynamics, 'Goregaon has not only elevated in terms of economic growth, but there has been tremendous infrastructure development.' Necessities like private transport, public transport like buses, taxis, auto-rickshaws are just a walk away. If you still will be commuting daily via trains for work or other reasons, then taking a property near railway stations makes sense.

People in Mumbai highly prioritize their travel time. Getting a property near the station saves you a lot of travel time. It is also prone to less pollution due to low fuel consumption. Access to transport in a suburb is not the main driver for land value growth; not all transport types are regarded equally in Mumbai. The only means of transport in Mumbai is considered the fastest are the local trains. Investing in a property near railway lines can increase the long-term value of such an asset.

Also, investing in a 2 BHK property for sale in Goregaon West is relatively affordable than other belts like Bandra-Andheri and Powai, which are non-affordable for many. Larger township projects offer high-quality housing and amenities like a swimming pool, children's play area, basketball court, gym, library, park, jogging track, etc. What comes to your mind when you think of a luxury apartment?

For many people, the idea of luxury apartment living means beautiful apartments with new appliances, updated floors, or carpets at an expensive cost. Many of those people don't realize that luxury living will save you money in the long run. Following is how you will save money by investing in a luxury apartment-

Gym - Although many societies have a gym, they don't have the necessary equipment for a full-body workout. On the other hand, luxury apartments provide more workout machines without going out to the gym outside the residential complex.

Location – There is 2 BHK property for sale in Goregaon West, which provide a scenic location with the luxury of not being remote and closer to local transport.

Safety – Safety comes first. Living anywhere in the city has been scary. We are so prone to crime in one form or the other. But with the facility of camera surveillance and security guards, you are in safe hands.

Signing Off

Goregaon has a lot to offer at a reasonable rate. If you are planning to invest in a residential space, Chandak Group of developers has 1 BHK or 2 BHK property for sale in Goregaon West. You can login to https://www.chandakgroup.com/ to know more.

Market Insight- Global Aircraft Cabin Interior Market

Market Overview

The aircraft cabin is the part of the aircraft in which passenger travels. The aircraft cabin interior comprises components and systems that are used inside the cabin such as overhead bins, seats, monuments, lavatory, carts, and lights. The primary purpose of an aircraft cabin interior is to provide comfort and convenience to the passenger. Moreover, various airlines install mood lighting, new fiber seats, in-flight live and screening, which can be manually controlled by remote control. The global aircraft cabin interior market has been segmented on the basis of product type into sidewalls/ liners, carts, overhead bins, seats, lavatory, monuments, windows, and other products. Furthermore, the market is divided into by application, by aircraft type, by distribution channel, and by region segments.

The global aircraft cabin interior market accounted US$ 16,113.2 MN in terms of value and 2,415.9 Units in terms of volume in 2019.

Market Dynamics- Drivers

Growing preference of consumer for air travel is expected to drive growth of the global aircraft cabin interior market during the forecast period

According to International Air Transport Association (IATA) report, 2015, number of passengers traveling by air increased to 3.4 billion passengers in 2015 from 3.3 billion passengers in 2014, registering a growth of 3%. Furthermore, the high growth of tourism industry, rising international travel, higher disposable income, competitive ticket pricing, and a significant reduction in traveling time are compelling consumers to opt for air travel than other modes of commute. This, in turn, is influencing airline carriers to deploy new aircraft and thereby drive the growth of the global aircraft cabin interior market.

Rise in long-distance air travel boosting the demand for advanced and comforting interiors is expected to propel the global aircraft cabin interior market growth over the forecast period

Long-haul flights or long-distance non-stop air travel of over seven hours of flight time has increased significantly in the recent past. This is owing to increasing traveling range of aircraft, which leads to shorter travel times and fewer transit complications. However, a long-haul flight can lead to various health complications such as fatigue, restlessness, jet lag, and overall discomfort for passengers. Airline carriers are focused on enhancing passenger comfort, which in turn, is increasing adoption of comfortable, highly customizable, and technologically advanced cabin interior systems to replace the existing conventional systems. The practice of fitting more comfortable and soothing aircraft cabin interior products in long haul flights is expected to support growth of the global aircraft cabin interior market over the forecast period.

North America region dominated the global aircraft cabin interior market in 2019, accounting for 33.3% share in terms of value, followed by Asia Pacific, Europe, MEA and Latin America, respectively.

Market Dynamics- Restraints

Reducing demand for large body aircraft across the globe is expected to hamper the global aircraft cabin interior market growth over the forecast period

Large aircrafts comprising double decks and two aisles require higher number of aircraft cabin interior products. Naturally, number of monuments such as overhead bins, lavatories, galleys, and lighting systems are much higher than that of narrow-body aircraft. Airline carriers whose fleet comprising mostly of narrow-body aircraft generally tend to increase passenger capacity of aircraft by utilizing space taken up by these galleys and lavatories. Hence, demand for these galleys is expected to decrease, as cost of a single galley is much more than that of a row of seats, which is in turn, is expected to restrain the market growth.

Lack of profitable airlines in emerging economies is expected to hamper the global aircraft cabin interior market growth over the forecast period

Emerging economies such as South Africa, India, and China have a limited number of profitable airlines. This is primarily due to low purchase power and constant preference for conventional methods of commute such as railways and buses. This, in turn, is expected to hinder growth of the global aircraft cabin interior market growth over the forecast period.

Market Opportunities

Customization and replacement of existing aircraft cabin interior components to provide major growth opportunities

The global aviation industry is growing at a steady pace though there is intense competition among major airline carriers. These airline carriers make extreme efforts to increase passenger share by including more destinations, providing competitive prices, and refurbishing aircraft frequently. For instances, Thomson Airways cabin structure to accommodate the whole family, Air New Zealand’s SkyCouch, a row of three economy seats that together create a flexible space, and Etihad Airways ‘The Residence’, a three-room suite which has living room, bedroom, and shower room, has led to frequent customization and replacement of aircraft interior products. Moreover, on average, airline carriers replace their cabin interior products every 3 to 5 years to provide a new look and feel their aircraft.

Adoption of in-flight entertainment system and connectivity systems across all classes can present significant growth opportunities

First class and business class passengers receive special features and amenities such as personalized in-flight entertainment and communication systems for comfort and convenience. Until recently, amenities in economy class segment were kept to a bare minimum. However, rising competition in the global airline industry is compelling airline carriers to offer communications systems and in-flight entertainment in the economy class seating, in order to attract more passengers. For instance, certain airlines such as FlyDubai offer these amenities for a small pre-paid fee.

Market Trends

Product type trend

Aircraft cabin interior differs as per the distance of the aircraft it will travel. For instance, long haul carriers are equipped with cabin interiors that are vastly different from medium- and short-haul carriers. Long-haul aircraft have passenger-centric cabin interiors, in order to enhance comfort and decrease fatigue with focus on ambient lighting, entertainment systems, and multi-functional galleys and seats. On the contrary, short-haul aircraft are designed in such a way that it increases passenger count without disturbing the comfort. In such cases, lightweight and thin construction of seats is being implemented in many short-haul budget airlines, while lighting, entertainment systems and galleys serve more as a functional aspect rather than a luxury. For instance, the ‘Space Bin’ concept was introduced by Boeing to increase the capacity of overhead storage systems by 40%. Alaska Airlines is the first airline carrier to adopt this concept, in which the overhead storage bins are made slightly taller so as to accommodate a hand luggage placed in an upright position.

Distribution type trend

Sales of aircraft cabin interior components are the highest through OEM sales channel, due to large number of aircraft deliveries through the years. However, aftermarket sales of these components are gaining traction steadily, owing to rapid increase in number of aircraft leased and rising trend of renovating of aircrafts by the airline carriers to keeps its fleet new and more appealing to customers.

Value Chain Analysis

Segment information:

In global aircraft cabin interior, by application segment, the Galley sub-segment dominated the global market in 2019, accounting for 35.8% share in terms of value, followed by seating system, equipment’s & system and cabin & system respectively.

Next Round: Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Is Replanting White Oak Forests, and It’s Not a Marketing Gimmick

Airing between regular episodes of the VinePair Podcast, “Next Round” explores the ideas and innovations that are helping drinks businesses adapt in a time of unprecedented change. As the coronavirus crisis continues and new challenges arise, VP Pro is in your corner, supporting the drinks community for all the rounds to come. If you have a story or perspective to share, email us at podcast@vinepair.com.

In this episode of “Next Round,” VinePair CEO and founder Adam Teeter speaks to Ed Bello of Bulleit Bourbon and Eric Sprague of American Forests. While an unlikely pair, Bulleit recently teamed up with American Forests to launch their Frontier Fund, which hopes to restore the white oak population across the Eastern United States by planting 1 million trees over the next five years.

Bulleit has long been committed to sustainability, and this initiative is just another step in the legacy of its eco-conscious policy. Founded in 1987, the brand immediately focused on reducing its carbon emissions while designing its distillery, which is now a Zero Waste to Landfill facility. From there, the brand looked to the future and realized the next key move would be to protect the white oak tree, which is integral to the whiskey-making process. This led to a natural conversation with American Forests, the longest-standing national forest conservation group.

Throughout this episode, Sprague and Bello emphasize the initiative’s role in promoting sustainability and building a better future for all.

Adam: From Brooklyn, New York. I’m Adam Teeter, and this is a VinePair “Next Round” conversation. We’re bringing you these conversations between our regular podcast episodes on Monday in order to give you a clear picture of what’s going on in the world of wine, beer, and spirits. Today, I’m talking with Ed Bello, global brand director of Bulleit Bourbon, and Eric Sprague, VP of forest restoration at American Forests. Guys, thank you so much for joining me.

Ed: Thank you for having us.

Eric: You bet.

A: So, before we jump into our larger conversation, I’d love to understand why today we’re on a podcast where I’m interviewing both you, Ed the global brand director of Bulleit, but also Eric, the VP for forest restoration. So what is the connection between Bulleit Bourbon and American Forests?

Ed: Well, as you may have heard, Bulleit just launched the Bulleit Frontier Fund, which is really our foundational commitment to the sustainability of the bar hospitality industry but also, very important, the communities and the environment surrounding those. And one of the things that we identified is, how can we really help the restoration of forests, and the protection and restoration of forests. And with that, that brought us to American Forests and our partnership with Eric and his wonderful organization to plant a million trees over the next five years.

E: And I’ll add, too. I think we’re all familiar with this false narrative: It’s either the economy versus the environment. This is a great story of how we’re protecting the environment, enhancing important values of forests, and creating jobs and great bourbon. It’s a great story.

A: So, let’s talk about American Forests. So obviously, I know that there is a connection in terms of trees with oxygen, climate change, et cetera. Can you tell me a little bit about the American Forests as an organization. What you guys do and what your mission is?

E: Sure. American Forests, we’re the longest-standing national forest conservation group in the United States, founded in 1875. Over that timeframe, we’ve been a servant leader, leading discussions at tough times in the country’s history where we’ve lost forests for lots of reasons. And today with climate change, having drastic impacts on the state and health of our forests, American Forests is working across this country in key areas like white oak here in the central hardwoods and Eastern United States to help restore those forests, and to overcome those threats.

A: So obviously, we have the threats of climate change and wildfires and things like that. But then also, we have people who harvest wood to make all the different products that we use daily: furniture, houseware paper, et cetera. But then obviously also bourbon. So how is the connection here in terms of Bulleit’s connection to replanting forests, as well as being a large consumer, probably, of oak in the first place? How does that connection play out? And when did you decide that that was something that you need to get involved in, Ed?

Ed: Yeah, I think I’m going to answer it in a couple different ways. One of which is really this commitment to the environment into a more sustainable future, protection of trees, and the sustainable future of forestry. It comes out of our long legacy of believing in sustainability, right? If we go way back to when we opened up the Bulleit Distilling Company — even started the plans for the Bulleit Distilling Company — we put sustainability at the heart of it. We focused on, as we developed that site, we focused on reducing our carbon emissions, water conservation, waste management. It’s a Zero Waste to Landfill facility. So it was already at the beginning. Sustainability was already at the heart of the brand from the get-go. Then we opened our visitor center with a lot of the same sustainability thinking in built. We partnered with the University of Kentucky to create The Greenhouse there. A large greenhouse that all of our garnishes for all of our cocktails come from that greenhouse in partnership with the University of Kentucky. The facility has our buses to take folks to and from the distillery that are all green energy. The source of it is all green energy. And then we just launched recently, you may have heard about the announcement of our new distillery, our Lebanon distillery. In Lebanon, Ky., which will open next summer. And that distillery is going to be the largest American whiskey distillery that will be completely carbon neutral. Really exciting for us, really exciting development. So again, building sustainability at the get-go. And then as we look to the sustainability for the industry for the future, one of the key things that’s, as you say, critical to our industry and to the consumers’ enjoyment of whiskey is white oak. And therefore the barrels and the trees that the white oak allows us to have. And so again, that’s where this natural conversation with American Forests came up, which is, we want to really help the environment. We want to create a sustainable industry and we want to allow consumers to continue to enjoy their wonderful Bulleit Bourbon for many, many years to come. But again, whilst fighting climate change, whilst protecting the forest, and enabling a better future for our consumers and everyone else to enjoy.

A: So in the last decade or so, if not longer, there’s been a massive bourbon boom in this country, and there’s been a lot more people looking for bourbon, making bourbon, et cetera. And there’s been a few brands now who’ve talked a lot about the threat of white oak in the U.S. that we could be consuming more than we have right now. Do you have an idea, either Eric or Ed, at how much white oak at this point we are using as a bourbon industry? And do you know of — obviously this is a great initiative — but what other initiatives are also being done in order to try to drive more awareness to the fact that we need to be replanting the forests, not just harvesting them?

Ed: I can’t speak to the total industry, but I do know I can speak to what Bulleit knows and what Bulleit is doing. It’s generally about two barrels per tree. And the beauty of what we’re doing with Eric is we’re going to ensure that for every tree that we cut down, we’re at least planting one tree, and then doing more. So it’ll allow us to be completely neutral. And quite frankly, we expect to be positive to the environment, when you take into account some of the other added benefits of what we’re doing from planting these trees over the next five years.

E: Yeah. That’s great, Ed, and I’ll just add on to that. Across the region, across the entire Eastern United States, where the white oak is what bourbon and winemakers rely on, grows. We’re growing more white oak out in the woods than is being used. So there is this what you would call a net positive growth to removals, throughout the region. So it’s not a question of, “Are we using too much white oak?” It’s more of a question looking forward. You walk in the forest, pick a forest in the Eastern United States, you’re going to see a lot of big white oak, depending on where you are. But if you look down at the forest floor, you’re going to find a near absence of white oak. And that’s the real challenge we’re facing. We’ve got some large mature oaks out there by volume. It’s still the most abundant tree in the Eastern United States. But almost a complete lack of regeneration in many important areas. And that’s for a lot of reasons. There are things like land use patterns, we’re losing forests at a higher rate. There are too many deer in certain places. There are pests and pathogens like the gypsy moth that are causing some challenges for white oak, but the real challenge is regeneration. The abundance of white oak we have now, and it’s making it so valuable to wood products and to bourbon, is that forests were disturbed in the past. Natural, low-intensity wildfires were common. Indigenous people set fire throughout the Eastern United States. And that created the stage for white oak to take advantage of that disturbance. And for many good reasons, we’ve decided that wildfires are something in the Eastern United States that just aren’t compatible with the way we grow and live. And so we’ve stopped that disturbance. And because of that, we’re seeing tree species like red maple and sugar maple beginning to take preeminence and dominance over certain forest stands. And when they do that, they’re creating a shade that just shades out oak seed.

A: Interesting. And so how were they able to create that dominance? Or was it just because they proliferate more quickly or more easily, or because as you said, because of those smaller wildfires, there’s more fertile soil that allows the oak to grow?

E: Yeah. It’s really interesting. A lot of trees have their own strategy for surviving and gaining dominance. White oak, what it does is it’ll sit in that understory for a long time. And then when a fire comes through or a wind storm comes through and knocks down, it quickly takes advantage of that light. Not too much, not too little, but when you’ve got a long period of time with no disturbance, you have these trees slowly take over, and oaks will just die out, because they’re not getting that light that they need. And so reintroducing disturbance through management, or through prescribed fire or through tree planting, can help restore that. And that’s why we’re so excited to be working with Bulleit on this initiative.

A: Interesting, so then when we are harvesting white oak now for bourbon, and Eric this may be a question more for you than Ed although Ed, you may know the answer as well, are we pulling these woods mostly from private lands? From families who have a forest and they see this as an investment opportunity and they’re managing the forest themselves and that’s where the oaks are coming from? Or are we pulling any from public lands? How does that work if we do? I’m really curious where the oak specifically is coming from, and then where you guys are replanting it.

E: The vast majority of oak being used for barrels, and really for all wood products, does come from private lands. The private landowners are the largest landowners by number across the Eastern United States. Public lands like our national forests and state lands and parks are also strongholds for white oak and a key focus for us to make sure that we’re regenerating oak to sustain it in the long term. But that private landowner is a key challenge that we struggle with. One of the threats we didn’t talk about is poor harvesting practices. Where a landowner might be approached by a logger who wants to come in and take the biggest and best trees, and then what’s left are other white oaks that just aren’t as well suited genetically to take advantage of that opportunity. And so it creates this pattern of us taking out the best white oaks and leaving the ones that are less adaptable, less suitable for wood products and wildlife in the future to take over. And so it’s about educating landowners about management practices, how to deal with those situations, and then working with them and the public land managers to restore white oak and implement practices that encourage white oak over the long term. So for our partnership with Bulleit, we’re just getting started. We’ve got a five-year partnership, we’re thinking about a range of practices that range from planting trees and pastures that are not regenerating naturally, to working with forest land managers to restore them in new and innovative ways to bring back white oak.

A: Interesting. So, you said that the brand has been connected to sustainability for a very long time, but where did this idea specifically come from? How were you made aware of the issue in the beginning, and how did you initially identify American Forests?

Ed: So the thing about Bulleit, I think the ethos of Bulleit is — and Eric what you were saying it just reminded me of why we did this, and why we came to you all. We’re frontier whiskey. And the heart of Bulleit is supporting and championing and collaborating with folks who are pushing the frontier forward. And part of what exactly that means to me is what you heard Eric talk about, which is how they’re looking at really the cutting-edge practices of forest protection, and of reforesting, reforestation, and whatnot. And so they were the perfect partner for us, because if you look at folks who are doing the cutting edge if you will, leading the cutting edge of these practices, it’s Eric and his organization. So that’s why we went there, frankly, first and foremost. And there’s several folks out there doing this type of stuff, but really American Forests is really the team that’s doing it, I would say, in the most cutting-edge and sustainable way. And then for Bulleit and where did the idea come from? One of the things that I’m proud of is I’m part of a team that passionately believes in this. The team that works on Bulleit lives sustainability themselves. And it came out of some meetings that we were in, with some of our supply folks, some of the folks on my team, and we were talking about, “Where do we go next?” We’re working on our distilling. We’re working on the parts we control. We’re also working with our suppliers on the front end to source grains that are within 25 miles of our distillery. That’s where all of our corn comes from. So we’re working in everything we control. And then we said, where’s the gap? Where’s the next gap? And the gap was in the barrels, because that comes later down in the distillation and maturation part of the process to make whiskey. And so we said, “Well, let’s go work on that now.” Because we’d been working on the distilling side of it. And really the next phase was the barrels. Which is obviously where we mature the distillate that is where the whiskey comes from.

A: That makes a lot of sense. So what else is a part of this campaign in order to drive awareness? Obviously, we are chatting ‘cause I find it interesting. But what else are you doing as a brand to make consumers aware of the fact that we have this problem with white oak and that they’re not regenerating in the way that they could be, and should be in the Eastern United States. And that there’s now an initiative to replant those white oak. And how can consumers also get involved to help with this mission and the mission of American Forests, besides just obviously buying bottles of Bulleit?

Ed: Well, for us, it’s really about education, right? Making the commitment and doing it. But it’s also about education, because the more we can make consumers, and bartenders who are very passionate about the environment aware of it, the more they can be involved. And so what we’re doing is, is heavy social media. We’ve already announced it in some of our social media channels, Instagram, Facebook, et cetera. And then we’re going to keep doing that. We’re going to keep talking about it throughout the year. And then we’re also really spending a lot of time educating our own commercial and our own ambassador and trade organizations and bartenders on this particular topic, because Bulleit’s passionate about this. Bulleit’s passionate about the environment and fighting climate change, and leaving a better environment for the future. So we’re going to educate through the trade and the bartending community. And like I said, through our ambassadors out in the field as well, so that more and more folks are aware of it and then can also get involved to help in this mission. And there’s a couple different ways to do it: One, folks can go straight to American Forests and support them in what they’re doing. They can also come to the Bulleit website and look at our Bulleit Frontier Fund and find the ways to get involved there on the Bulleit website, and through the Frontier Fund as well.

E: Well, I was just going to add, that’s so important. This work that we’re doing with Bulleit is going to be impactful, and we can talk about what some of those outcomes we expect to be, but the scale is huge. We’re talking about the entire Eastern United States where you can find white oak, and these challenges we’re finding are throughout that area. So the extent that this initiative can drive actions across for other distilleries, universities, conservation groups, that’s a key outcome of what we’re doing. We’re a partner of the White Oak Initiative that’s looking to think through how they can learn from this initiative and other initiatives, to meet the challenge across the Eastern United States.

A: So what are the benefits that we could expect to see from your work with Bulleit?

E: Well, I’ll geek out a little bit about the white oak itself. It’s such an awesome tree. It’s my favorite tree, of course. But white oak is probably the most ecologically important tree species in the Eastern United States. You can think about it from the wildlife food source perspective. One white oak tree can produce up to 7,000 acorns in a year, which is hugely important for black bears, blue jays, and wild turkeys. Also, as it matures, it gets this great, flaky bark that are really important roosting sites for bats. It’s also important for insects. There was a study done in the Mid-Atlantic that showed white oak is the most important species for butterflies and moths. It can create a habitat for over 500 species of butterflies and moths — more than any other woody plant in Eastern United States. It’s also a big tree. It can get up to a hundred feet tall, could be four feet thick, and live for hundreds of years. And when you think about that, half the tree’s biomass — that is the mass of the material of the tree — is carbon. That’s a lot of carbon being stored through white oak forests and by the white oak tree. And so it’s value to sequester carbon is huge. So the next five years, we’re working to plant 1 million trees with Bulleit. The outcomes we’re expecting to get include over 650,000 metric tons of carbon stored. A massive amount. We’re also working to build these plantings in a way that can provide critical air- quality benefits. Oaks have massive canopies that can block out pollutants and keep them from entering people’s lungs. So we expect over that lifetime, 74,000 pounds of air pollutants to be removed per year. That’s equivalent to removing 1,000 cars from the road. So a huge benefit. Also, white oaks have these massive root systems. The root systems themselves can be twice as wide as the crowns of the tree canopy. And they also have deep, deep roots, too, to hold them in place and hold the soil in place. So through those benefits, white oaks can filter and slowly release water to streams over time, a critical watershed provision. Our tree plantings over the next five years are expected to create 75 million gallons of runoff conserved each year. So there’s some great benefits for carbon, habitat, air quality, and water, and that’s why we’re so excited to be working with Bulleit.

A: That’s very, very cool. So Ed, one last question for you. So in terms of the positioning of this, you definitely built a brand in which people care about sustainability, your customers care about sustainability. But how do you think this will also benefit the brand? Does it just reinforce your sustainability message? Do you think that this could also help you guys be sort of the champion of helping to regenerate forests? And your hope is that other bourbon brands sign on? What’s the end goal of this besides what you’re doing in the short-term with American Forests?

Ed: Ultimately, I think that’s a really good question. And if I think of one thing that sits at the heart of it, it’s that we want to raise the standard for making American whiskey. And we want to be the benchmark brand in that way. If I think of the history of Bulleit, it’s always been that challenger brand that has shaken the norm up. When Tom founded the brand in ‘87, he did it in a way that no one else was doing it. He created a high-rye recipe. He basically up-ended the industry, went to bartenders, and really worked with bartenders to build this brand from day one — very differently than some of the historical traditional American whiskey brands. And we want to now bring that to the world of sustainability and how American whiskey brands and companies make the product and raise the standard for how it’s made and what the impact is on the environment. And as I mentioned, if every day, we could do something to educate more consumers about it, make the product more sustainable day after day after day, I think we’ll make a difference.

A: Awesome. Well Ed, Eric. I want to thank you both so much for taking the time to join me to chat about this really cool initiative between Bulleit and American Forests. And guys, thanks so much for taking the time.

Ed: Thank you, Adam.

E: Yeah thanks, Adam. That was fun.

Next Round: Bulleit Frontier Whiskey Is Replanting White Oak Forests and Its Not a Marketing Gimmick

Airing between regular episodes of the VinePair Podcast, “Next Round” explores the ideas and innovations that are helping drinks businesses adapt in a time of unprecedented change. As the coronavirus crisis continues and new challenges arise, VP Pro is in your corner, supporting the drinks community for all the rounds to come. If you have a story or perspective to share, email us at podcast@vinepair.com.

In this episode of “Next Round,” VinePair CEO and founder Adam Teeter speaks to Ed Bello of Bulleit Bourbon and Eric Sprague of American Forests. While an unlikely pair, Bulleit recently teamed up with American Forests to launch their Frontier Fund, which hopes to restore the white oak population across the Eastern United States by planting 1 million trees over the next five years.

Bulleit has long been committed to sustainability, and this initiative is just another step in the legacy of its eco-conscious policy. Founded in 1987, the brand immediately focused on reducing its carbon emissions while designing its distillery, which is now a Zero Waste to Landfill facility. From there, the brand looked to the future and realized the next key move would be to protect the white oak tree, which is integral to the whiskey-making process. This led to a natural conversation with American Forests, the longest-standing national forest conservation group.

Throughout this episode, Sprague and Bello emphasize the initiative’s role in promoting sustainability and building a better future for all.

Adam: From Brooklyn, New York. I’m Adam Teeter, and this is a VinePair “Next Round” conversation. We’re bringing you these conversations between our regular podcast episodes on Monday in order to give you a clear picture of what’s going on in the world of wine, beer, and spirits. Today, I’m talking with Ed Bello, global brand director of Bulleit Bourbon, and Eric Sprague, VP of forest restoration at American Forests. Guys, thank you so much for joining me.

Ed: Thank you for having us.

Eric: You bet.

A: So, before we jump into our larger conversation, I’d love to understand why today we’re on a podcast where I’m interviewing both you, Ed the global brand director of Bulleit, but also Eric, the VP for forest restoration. So what is the connection between Bulleit Bourbon and American Forests?

Ed: Well, as you may have heard, Bulleit just launched the Bulleit Frontier Fund, which is really our foundational commitment to the sustainability of the bar hospitality industry but also, very important, the communities and the environment surrounding those. And one of the things that we identified is, how can we really help the restoration of forests, and the protection and restoration of forests. And with that, that brought us to American Forests and our partnership with Eric and his wonderful organization to plant a million trees over the next five years.

E: And I’ll add, too. I think we’re all familiar with this false narrative: It’s either the economy versus the environment. This is a great story of how we’re protecting the environment, enhancing important values of forests, and creating jobs and great bourbon. It’s a great story.

A: So, let’s talk about American Forests. So obviously, I know that there is a connection in terms of trees with oxygen, climate change, et cetera. Can you tell me a little bit about the American Forests as an organization. What you guys do and what your mission is?

E: Sure. American Forests, we’re the longest-standing national forest conservation group in the United States, founded in 1875. Over that timeframe, we’ve been a servant leader, leading discussions at tough times in the country’s history where we’ve lost forests for lots of reasons. And today with climate change, having drastic impacts on the state and health of our forests, American Forests is working across this country in key areas like white oak here in the central hardwoods and Eastern United States to help restore those forests, and to overcome those threats.

A: So obviously, we have the threats of climate change and wildfires and things like that. But then also, we have people who harvest wood to make all the different products that we use daily: furniture, houseware paper, et cetera. But then obviously also bourbon. So how is the connection here in terms of Bulleit’s connection to replanting forests, as well as being a large consumer, probably, of oak in the first place? How does that connection play out? And when did you decide that that was something that you need to get involved in, Ed?

Ed: Yeah, I think I’m going to answer it in a couple different ways. One of which is really this commitment to the environment into a more sustainable future, protection of trees, and the sustainable future of forestry. It comes out of our long legacy of believing in sustainability, right? If we go way back to when we opened up the Bulleit Distilling Company — even started the plans for the Bulleit Distilling Company — we put sustainability at the heart of it. We focused on, as we developed that site, we focused on reducing our carbon emissions, water conservation, waste management. It’s a Zero Waste to Landfill facility. So it was already at the beginning. Sustainability was already at the heart of the brand from the get-go. Then we opened our visitor center with a lot of the same sustainability thinking in built. We partnered with the University of Kentucky to create The Greenhouse there. A large greenhouse that all of our garnishes for all of our cocktails come from that greenhouse in partnership with the University of Kentucky. The facility has our buses to take folks to and from the distillery that are all green energy. The source of it is all green energy. And then we just launched recently, you may have heard about the announcement of our new distillery, our Lebanon distillery. In Lebanon, Ky., which will open next summer. And that distillery is going to be the largest American whiskey distillery that will be completely carbon neutral. Really exciting for us, really exciting development. So again, building sustainability at the get-go. And then as we look to the sustainability for the industry for the future, one of the key things that’s, as you say, critical to our industry and to the consumers’ enjoyment of whiskey is white oak. And therefore the barrels and the trees that the white oak allows us to have. And so again, that’s where this natural conversation with American Forests came up, which is, we want to really help the environment. We want to create a sustainable industry and we want to allow consumers to continue to enjoy their wonderful Bulleit Bourbon for many, many years to come. But again, whilst fighting climate change, whilst protecting the forest, and enabling a better future for our consumers and everyone else to enjoy.

A: So in the last decade or so, if not longer, there’s been a massive bourbon boom in this country, and there’s been a lot more people looking for bourbon, making bourbon, et cetera. And there’s been a few brands now who’ve talked a lot about the threat of white oak in the U.S. that we could be consuming more than we have right now. Do you have an idea, either Eric or Ed, at how much white oak at this point we are using as a bourbon industry? And do you know of — obviously this is a great initiative — but what other initiatives are also being done in order to try to drive more awareness to the fact that we need to be replanting the forests, not just harvesting them?

Ed: I can’t speak to the total industry, but I do know I can speak to what Bulleit knows and what Bulleit is doing. It’s generally about two barrels per tree. And the beauty of what we’re doing with Eric is we’re going to ensure that for every tree that we cut down, we’re at least planting one tree, and then doing more. So it’ll allow us to be completely neutral. And quite frankly, we expect to be positive to the environment, when you take into account some of the other added benefits of what we’re doing from planting these trees over the next five years.

E: Yeah. That’s great, Ed, and I’ll just add on to that. Across the region, across the entire Eastern United States, where the white oak is what bourbon and winemakers rely on, grows. We’re growing more white oak out in the woods than is being used. So there is this what you would call a net positive growth to removals, throughout the region. So it’s not a question of, “Are we using too much white oak?” It’s more of a question looking forward. You walk in the forest, pick a forest in the Eastern United States, you’re going to see a lot of big white oak, depending on where you are. But if you look down at the forest floor, you’re going to find a near absence of white oak. And that’s the real challenge we’re facing. We’ve got some large mature oaks out there by volume. It’s still the most abundant tree in the Eastern United States. But almost a complete lack of regeneration in many important areas. And that’s for a lot of reasons. There are things like land use patterns, we’re losing forests at a higher rate. There are too many deer in certain places. There are pests and pathogens like the gypsy moth that are causing some challenges for white oak, but the real challenge is regeneration. The abundance of white oak we have now, and it’s making it so valuable to wood products and to bourbon, is that forests were disturbed in the past. Natural, low-intensity wildfires were common. Indigenous people set fire throughout the Eastern United States. And that created the stage for white oak to take advantage of that disturbance. And for many good reasons, we’ve decided that wildfires are something in the Eastern United States that just aren’t compatible with the way we grow and live. And so we’ve stopped that disturbance. And because of that, we’re seeing tree species like red maple and sugar maple beginning to take preeminence and dominance over certain forest stands. And when they do that, they’re creating a shade that just shades out oak seed.

A: Interesting. And so how were they able to create that dominance? Or was it just because they proliferate more quickly or more easily, or because as you said, because of those smaller wildfires, there’s more fertile soil that allows the oak to grow?

E: Yeah. It’s really interesting. A lot of trees have their own strategy for surviving and gaining dominance. White oak, what it does is it’ll sit in that understory for a long time. And then when a fire comes through or a wind storm comes through and knocks down, it quickly takes advantage of that light. Not too much, not too little, but when you’ve got a long period of time with no disturbance, you have these trees slowly take over, and oaks will just die out, because they’re not getting that light that they need. And so reintroducing disturbance through management, or through prescribed fire or through tree planting, can help restore that. And that’s why we’re so excited to be working with Bulleit on this initiative.

A: Interesting, so then when we are harvesting white oak now for bourbon, and Eric this may be a question more for you than Ed although Ed, you may know the answer as well, are we pulling these woods mostly from private lands? From families who have a forest and they see this as an investment opportunity and they’re managing the forest themselves and that’s where the oaks are coming from? Or are we pulling any from public lands? How does that work if we do? I’m really curious where the oak specifically is coming from, and then where you guys are replanting it.

E: The vast majority of oak being used for barrels, and really for all wood products, does come from private lands. The private landowners are the largest landowners by number across the Eastern United States. Public lands like our national forests and state lands and parks are also strongholds for white oak and a key focus for us to make sure that we’re regenerating oak to sustain it in the long term. But that private landowner is a key challenge that we struggle with. One of the threats we didn’t talk about is poor harvesting practices. Where a landowner might be approached by a logger who wants to come in and take the biggest and best trees, and then what’s left are other white oaks that just aren’t as well suited genetically to take advantage of that opportunity. And so it creates this pattern of us taking out the best white oaks and leaving the ones that are less adaptable, less suitable for wood products and wildlife in the future to take over. And so it’s about educating landowners about management practices, how to deal with those situations, and then working with them and the public land managers to restore white oak and implement practices that encourage white oak over the long term. So for our partnership with Bulleit, we’re just getting started. We’ve got a five-year partnership, we’re thinking about a range of practices that range from planting trees and pastures that are not regenerating naturally, to working with forest land managers to restore them in new and innovative ways to bring back white oak.

A: Interesting. So, you said that the brand has been connected to sustainability for a very long time, but where did this idea specifically come from? How were you made aware of the issue in the beginning, and how did you initially identify American Forests?

Ed: So the thing about Bulleit, I think the ethos of Bulleit is — and Eric what you were saying it just reminded me of why we did this, and why we came to you all. We’re frontier whiskey. And the heart of Bulleit is supporting and championing and collaborating with folks who are pushing the frontier forward. And part of what exactly that means to me is what you heard Eric talk about, which is how they’re looking at really the cutting-edge practices of forest protection, and of reforesting, reforestation, and whatnot. And so they were the perfect partner for us, because if you look at folks who are doing the cutting edge if you will, leading the cutting edge of these practices, it’s Eric and his organization. So that’s why we went there, frankly, first and foremost. And there’s several folks out there doing this type of stuff, but really American Forests is really the team that’s doing it, I would say, in the most cutting-edge and sustainable way. And then for Bulleit and where did the idea come from? One of the things that I’m proud of is I’m part of a team that passionately believes in this. The team that works on Bulleit lives sustainability themselves. And it came out of some meetings that we were in, with some of our supply folks, some of the folks on my team, and we were talking about, “Where do we go next?” We’re working on our distilling. We’re working on the parts we control. We’re also working with our suppliers on the front end to source grains that are within 25 miles of our distillery. That’s where all of our corn comes from. So we’re working in everything we control. And then we said, where’s the gap? Where’s the next gap? And the gap was in the barrels, because that comes later down in the distillation and maturation part of the process to make whiskey. And so we said, “Well, let’s go work on that now.” Because we’d been working on the distilling side of it. And really the next phase was the barrels. Which is obviously where we mature the distillate that is where the whiskey comes from.

A: That makes a lot of sense. So what else is a part of this campaign in order to drive awareness? Obviously, we are chatting ‘cause I find it interesting. But what else are you doing as a brand to make consumers aware of the fact that we have this problem with white oak and that they’re not regenerating in the way that they could be, and should be in the Eastern United States. And that there’s now an initiative to replant those white oak. And how can consumers also get involved to help with this mission and the mission of American Forests, besides just obviously buying bottles of Bulleit?

Ed: Well, for us, it’s really about education, right? Making the commitment and doing it. But it’s also about education, because the more we can make consumers, and bartenders who are very passionate about the environment aware of it, the more they can be involved. And so what we’re doing is, is heavy social media. We’ve already announced it in some of our social media channels, Instagram, Facebook, et cetera. And then we’re going to keep doing that. We’re going to keep talking about it throughout the year. And then we’re also really spending a lot of time educating our own commercial and our own ambassador and trade organizations and bartenders on this particular topic, because Bulleit’s passionate about this. Bulleit’s passionate about the environment and fighting climate change, and leaving a better environment for the future. So we’re going to educate through the trade and the bartending community. And like I said, through our ambassadors out in the field as well, so that more and more folks are aware of it and then can also get involved to help in this mission. And there’s a couple different ways to do it: One, folks can go straight to American Forests and support them in what they’re doing. They can also come to the Bulleit website and look at our Bulleit Frontier Fund and find the ways to get involved there on the Bulleit website, and through the Frontier Fund as well.

E: Well, I was just going to add, that’s so important. This work that we’re doing with Bulleit is going to be impactful, and we can talk about what some of those outcomes we expect to be, but the scale is huge. We’re talking about the entire Eastern United States where you can find white oak, and these challenges we’re finding are throughout that area. So the extent that this initiative can drive actions across for other distilleries, universities, conservation groups, that’s a key outcome of what we’re doing. We’re a partner of the White Oak Initiative that’s looking to think through how they can learn from this initiative and other initiatives, to meet the challenge across the Eastern United States.

A: So what are the benefits that we could expect to see from your work with Bulleit?

E: Well, I’ll geek out a little bit about the white oak itself. It’s such an awesome tree. It’s my favorite tree, of course. But white oak is probably the most ecologically important tree species in the Eastern United States. You can think about it from the wildlife food source perspective. One white oak tree can produce up to 7,000 acorns in a year, which is hugely important for black bears, blue jays, and wild turkeys. Also, as it matures, it gets this great, flaky bark that are really important roosting sites for bats. It’s also important for insects. There was a study done in the Mid-Atlantic that showed white oak is the most important species for butterflies and moths. It can create a habitat for over 500 species of butterflies and moths — more than any other woody plant in Eastern United States. It’s also a big tree. It can get up to a hundred feet tall, could be four feet thick, and live for hundreds of years. And when you think about that, half the tree’s biomass — that is the mass of the material of the tree — is carbon. That’s a lot of carbon being stored through white oak forests and by the white oak tree. And so it’s value to sequester carbon is huge. So the next five years, we’re working to plant 1 million trees with Bulleit. The outcomes we’re expecting to get include over 650,000 metric tons of carbon stored. A massive amount. We’re also working to build these plantings in a way that can provide critical air- quality benefits. Oaks have massive canopies that can block out pollutants and keep them from entering people’s lungs. So we expect over that lifetime, 74,000 pounds of air pollutants to be removed per year. That’s equivalent to removing 1,000 cars from the road. So a huge benefit. Also, white oaks have these massive root systems. The root systems themselves can be twice as wide as the crowns of the tree canopy. And they also have deep, deep roots, too, to hold them in place and hold the soil in place. So through those benefits, white oaks can filter and slowly release water to streams over time, a critical watershed provision. Our tree plantings over the next five years are expected to create 75 million gallons of runoff conserved each year. So there’s some great benefits for carbon, habitat, air quality, and water, and that’s why we’re so excited to be working with Bulleit.

A: That’s very, very cool. So Ed, one last question for you. So in terms of the positioning of this, you definitely built a brand in which people care about sustainability, your customers care about sustainability. But how do you think this will also benefit the brand? Does it just reinforce your sustainability message? Do you think that this could also help you guys be sort of the champion of helping to regenerate forests? And your hope is that other bourbon brands sign on? What’s the end goal of this besides what you’re doing in the short-term with American Forests?

Ed: Ultimately, I think that’s a really good question. And if I think of one thing that sits at the heart of it, it’s that we want to raise the standard for making American whiskey. And we want to be the benchmark brand in that way. If I think of the history of Bulleit, it’s always been that challenger brand that has shaken the norm up. When Tom founded the brand in ‘87, he did it in a way that no one else was doing it. He created a high-rye recipe. He basically up-ended the industry, went to bartenders, and really worked with bartenders to build this brand from day one — very differently than some of the historical traditional American whiskey brands. And we want to now bring that to the world of sustainability and how American whiskey brands and companies make the product and raise the standard for how it’s made and what the impact is on the environment. And as I mentioned, if every day, we could do something to educate more consumers about it, make the product more sustainable day after day after day, I think we’ll make a difference.

A: Awesome. Well Ed, Eric. I want to thank you both so much for taking the time to join me to chat about this really cool initiative between Bulleit and American Forests. And guys, thanks so much for taking the time.

Ed: Thank you, Adam.

E: Yeah thanks, Adam. That was fun.

$100 billion “universal fiber” plan proposed by Democrats in Congress

House Democrats yesterday unveiled a $100 billion broadband plan that's gaining quick support from consumer advocates.

"The House has a universal fiber broadband plan we should get behind," Electronic Frontier Foundation Senior Legislative Counsel Ernesto Falcon wrote in a blog post. House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC.) announced the Accessible, Affordable Internet for All Act, saying it has more than 30 co-sponsors and "invests $100 billion to build high-speed broadband infrastructure in unserved and underserved communities and ensure that the resulting Internet service is affordable." The bill text is available here.

In addition to federal funding for broadband networks with speeds of at least 100Mbps downstream and upstream, the bill would eliminate state laws that prevent the growth of municipal broadband. There are currently 19 states with such laws. The Clyburn legislation targets those states with this provision:

No State statute, regulation, or other State legal requirement may prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting any public provider, public-private partnership provider, or cooperatively organized provider from providing, to any person or any public or private entity, advanced telecommunications capability or any service that utilizes the advanced telecommunications capability provided by such provider.

The bill also has a Dig Once requirement that says fiber or fiber conduit must be installed "as part of any covered highway construction project" in states that receive federal highway funding. Similar Dig Once mandates have been proposed repeatedly over the years and gotten close to becoming US law, but never quite made it past the finish line.

The US is behind on fiber

"America is behind on its transition to a 21st-century, fiber-connected Internet with no plan for how to fix the problem," Falcon wrote. But Clyburn's bill "would begin a national transition of everyone's Internet connection into multi-gigabit capable fiber optics... and is likely heading towards a vote on the House floor as part of the overall COVID-19 recovery effort. After that its future remains in the hands of the Senate."

The Democrats' bill is highly unlikely to become law in its current form because Republicans control the Senate and White House. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai this week endorsed a Republican bill that includes $6 billion for broadband. Another Republican plan announced last week didn't have a dollar figure attached to it but promises funding and "regulatory relief" for telecom companies.

The Democrats' bill "is the right legislation at the right time as the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the need for every American to have robust, high-speed broadband Internet access at home," according to Gigi Sohn, a former Obama-era FCC official and current distinguished fellow at the Georgetown Law Institute for Technology & Policy.

Sohn, who was a counselor to then-FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler from 2013 to 2016, wrote that the bill "addresses the twin problems of broadband affordability and lack of network infrastructure, recognizing that the digital divide is both an urban and a rural problem. And it would promote competition in the broadband market by preferencing open-access networks and repealing anticompetitive state laws that prohibit communities from building their own broadband networks."

One key aspect of the bill is that it requires federally funded ISPs to provide low latency and speeds of at least 100Mbps for both downloads and uploads. The bill also defines "unserved" areas as those lacking options with download and upload speeds of 25Mbps. By contrast, the FCC's current, five-year-old broadband standard is 25Mbps downstream but only 3Mbps upstream. "These higher metrics [for both downloads and uploads] are what make this a fiber infrastructure bill as older legacy networks such as DSL cannot effectively deliver these speeds," Falcon wrote.

Funded projects must also provide broadband at prices that are "comparable" to or lower than what's available in areas that already have broadband access, the bill says.

What else is in the bill

As Clyburn's announcement explained, the Democrats' bill includes these provisions:

$80 billion to deploy high-speed broadband infrastructure nationwide

$5 billion for low-interest financing of broadband deployment through a new secured loan program

Ensur[ing] Internet affordability by requiring an affordable option for Internet service plans offered on the newly-built infrastructure; providing a $50 monthly discount on plans for low-income consumers; and directing the FCC to collect and publicize data on prices charged for broadband service throughout the country

$1 billion to establish grant programs for states to close gaps in broadband adoption, as well as digital inclusion projects for organizations and local communities to implement

$5 billion to enable students without Internet at home to participate in remote learning

Funding for Wi-Fi on school buses so students can stay connected, especially in rural areas where longer bus rides are common.

The $80 billion would be appropriated to the FCC "for fiscal year 2021, to remain available until expended," the bill says. The FCC would be required to distribute the money through a competitive bidding process, similar to how its current programs work. But the commission would have to award 75 percent of the funding within 18 months "to expand access to broadband service in unserved areas and areas with low-tier service." Low-tier is defined as less than 100Mbps downloads or uploads. The FCC's biggest broadband-funding plan right now is for $20.4 billion over 10 years, or $1.6 billion a year.

Falcon argues that a plan like Clyburn's is needed for the US to deploy fiber throughout the country within a few years instead of decades. "Such an ambitious program would have the United States match China's efforts to build universal fiber with the US completing its transition just a few short years after China," Falcon wrote. "Without this law, the transition would take decades."

Falcon also praised the legislation for "emphasiz[ing] open-access fiber networks that would replicate the success in Utah, where people are getting a dozen options for low priced gigabit and ten-gigabit services, including in rural markets."

3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy in March

3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy in March:

When markets are volatile as they are now, it’s good to know that you can count on dividends. There are many stocks paying dividends on the TSX. While you might think first of financial and telecom stocks when looking for dividends, stocks in other sectors offer interesting dividend yields and  will bring some diversification to your portfolio.

Computer Modelling Group (TSX:CMG), NFI Group (TSX:NFI) and Extendicare (TS:EXE) are three high-yield stocks that are less-known but deserve more attention.

Computer Modelling Group

The number of tech stocks listed on the TSX is pretty small. And when we think about Canadian tech stocks, we think about big names like Shopify and Constellation Software.

But there are smaller tech companies worth looking at, such as Computer Modelling, a computer technology company with a market capitalization of $550 million.

Computer Modelling was founded in 1978 and is headquartered in Calgary. The company provides reservoir simulation software, including thermal, compositional, black oil and enhanced oil recovery processes to oil and gas companies in Canada.

In addition, the company provides professional services including assistance, advice, training and contract research. It also sells its products and services in around 60 countries. 

The computer company pays a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, which has a forward dividend yield of 5.7%. The stock has a 15-year CAGR of over 20%, which is very high. Computer Modelling is thus a good stock to buy if you’re interested in both growth and income.

NFI Group

NFI Group manufactures heavy transit buses, medium buses, low-floor buses and motor coaches in the United States and Canada. The company has two segments: manufacturing operations and aftermarket operations. It also provides parts of buses and coaches and assistance services.

NFI was founded in 1930 and is headquartered in Winnipeg. The company was previously known as New Flyer Industries until it changed its name to NFI Group in May 2018. 

NFI is about to finalize its largest order for battery-powered electric buses from the Seattle area transit agency, indicating greater market demand for zero-emission buses.

King Country Metro, the transit authority of Seattle and the surrounding area, has agreed to buy 40 Xcelsior 60-foot, zero-emission, battery-powered electric heavy-duty transit buses from NFI. It plans to order 80 additional battery-powered electric buses in the coming year.

With a price of around $1.3 million each, the sale is a big win for NFI.

NFI pays a quarterly dividend of $0.425 per share for a forward dividend yield of 5.4%. The stock is very cheap, with a five-year PEG of only 0.5.

Extendicare

Extendicare provides care and services to seniors in Canada. The company was founded in 1968 and is based in Markham. Extendicare offers long-term care services, housing services for retirees, and home health care services.

After 52 years of operation, it now operates 120 care centres for the elderly and retirement centres. The company continues its expansion across the country. Extendicare also offers third-party liability insurance products in the United States.

As the population is aging, we can expect the demand for Extendicare services to increase, so revenue should keep growing.

Extendicare is installing new management and a new internet-based system to maximize its workforce and automate work processes.

If you’re looking for a regular stream of income, Extendicare will interest you. This healthcare stock pays a monthly dividend of $0.04, which gives a dividend of $0.48 annually. The forward dividend yield is 5.8%.

Advantages of Polymer Products

SUMMARY

As we all know that plastic has benefited our society in an ample number of ways. In fact, we can say that the polymer products has helped aeronautics technology because of this it take a huge steps forward over the last 50 years, including the advancements in satellites, shuttles, aircraft, and missiles. 

Picture Courtesy:- EnCom Polymers

As a result, we can say that the civilian air travel has improved a lot, as well as military air power and space exploration. In addition to that, the building and construction, electronics, packaging, and transportation industries have all benefited greatly from the utilization of plastic.

Fibers

The role of fiber strengthen is to add strength and stiffness to the combined material. Strengthen usually comes in three forms: particles, continuous fiber and discontinuous fiber. Early strengthen materials were straw, hemp and also glass. In the 1940s, manufacturers began to combine carbon and glass fibers with polymer plastics to make a strong composite which could be used for aircraft hulls.

Strength

One of the important advantages of polymer composites is their high tensile strength-to-weight ratio. Composites with polyaramid fibers are generally five times stronger than steel on a pound-for-pound basis. The fibers in these kinds of composites can be arranged during the manufacturing process in a multi-directional pattern that spreads stresses throughout the material. Generally, these kinds of materials have a low compressive strength, this means that they can break easily under sudden, sharp forces. A finished polymer composite will have a smooth surface, making it very much useful to reduce the aerodynamic drag in aircraft.

Resilience

Polymer products mainly composites which have amazing resistance to chemical corrosion, scratching, rust as well as seawater. These kinds of characteristics have led to applications in aircraft hulls, bicycle parts, military vehicles, trains and boats. Because of their durability to wear, low-cost composites which have found uses in seats, walls and floors in buses as well as in subways.

Costs

The cost of making polymer composites and forming them into useful products is one of the primary disadvantages. Polymer products are generally manufactured by a laborious process known as lay-up which slows down the production rates, making the products less cost-effective for high production volumes. Advanced polymer composites are likewise expensive to manufacture. These kinds of advanced formulas require more expensive training for labor and more sophisticated environmental and also health considerations.

Polymer products have continued to develop over the years with less costly manufacturing processes and also better formulations with better strength and durability characteristics. As the scientists have learn more about the relationships between resins and strengthen materials, the applications of polymer composites will continue to find more uses in everyday products. Stronger and lighter composites will find their own way into more economical uses in transportation, boats and other products that were previously not thought possible.

Biodegradable plastics can easily mix with traditional product.

We do not need to make completely new products by using biodegradable plastics to create an environmental benefit with this kind of technology. Once the natural materials are turned into polymers, they can surely work with the ones that were manufactured using oil molecules. Which means we can mix the traditional manufacturing cycle with the natural one, reducing the percentage which comes from fossil fuels. When we create these kinds of mixture, the plastic products often have more strength as well.

Biodegradable plastics usually require less energy during the manufacturing process

When you are comparing the polymer products which is made from this crop to those using raw petroleum, then it requires 65% less energy to create a similar-quality biodegradable product. That is in addition to the 68% reduction in greenhouse gases which occur during the manufacturing process.

Biodegradable plastics could also create new export industries

The growth rate in local sales was around 13% from the year before, with the entire value of this segment which worth over $350 million. Many of the mature markets for plastic products in the developed world are looking for many kinds of ways to reduce their carbon and waste footprints. Switching to these kinds of product makes a lot of sense because it could eliminate the impact of pollution on the environment over time. Making biodegradables a top priority could become a money making tool for the country that can perfect these kinds of technology first.
