3. Recently, there has been much discussion about bringing jobs back to America, by pursuing
self-sufficiency in manufacturing. The goal carries numerous benefits for the country.
Manufacturing internally allows for the increased use of eco-friendly shipping materials,
such as the plastic jerrican, poly drum, totes and shipping barrels. Such products are UN-
certified and in compliance with 49 CFR (the U.S. code governing hazardous materials
transportation), International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), and International Maritime
Organization (IMO) regulations. The materials can help to reduce climate change by cutting
back on the carbon footprint of the manufacturing and shipping industries.

million people completed an apprenticeship contract in 2018, an increase of just over 1% on
the previous year.
