The ?g-drum? is a reusable, collapsible 55 US gallon drum with a ?bag-in-a-box? design that uses a product-speci c exible internal liner bag made from 3-ply Food & Pharmaceutical grade polyethelyn (PE) lm to store not only liquid cargoes but also for dry owable or high viscosity products. The patented g-drums deliver savings in overall operational costs compared to traditional steel drums as g-drum eliminates the need for pre-conditioning and post- cleaning disposal, and reduces responsible care premiums. www.gac.com/solutions/packaging Hostar Trailer Sustains Small Community The economy of Yakutat, AK is rooted in commercial shing and sh processing. HOSTAR?s HST5500YS, 30-ton hydraulic yard trailer provides safe and ef cient means of launching and retrieving boats on Yakutat Harbor?s steel ramp.
