PVC compounds use acrylic processing aids because they promote PVC fusion, provide lubrication, and change the melt rheology. They also ensure constant, uninterrupted flow of PVC melt in order to achieve a smooth surface in PVC finished products. Since the applications of PVC compounds have been increasing rapidly to include industries such as electric enclosures, business equipment, and electrical appliances, the market for acrylic processing aids will expand considerably.

Plastic materials are processed with the help of fabrication processes that use acrylic processing aids. Fabrication processes can be segmented broadly into injection molding and extrusion.

Building contractor GF Tomlinson has completed work on a modular housing scheme in Grantham, said to be the first of its kind in the region.

The company delivered the scheme for South Kesteven District Council, through its Scape regional construction framework.

It is made up of two modular social housing developments valued at 2.1 million.

Work started on the two developments, Kinoulton Court and Earlesfield Lane, late last year and the plots were completed in summer.

The main elements were made offsite by Premier Modular, saving 10 weeks on the build time.

After being delivered by lorry to the site, the houses were put onto prepared foundations which included functioning pipe works and electrics.

The homes were then roofed and cladded, before work on the outside was completed, including fences, landscaped gardens, car parking and footpaths.

Earlesfield Lane, on a former car park, is a block of four, one-bedroom semi-detached apartments and Kinoulton Court, is 10, one-bedroom apartments split into two blocks.

Craig Stopper, framework manager at GF Tomlinson, said: We are pleased to have delivered these critical modular housing developments in the region to facilitate the fundamental need for social housing for South Kesteven District Council.

The modular housing plots were completed on-time and to a high standard which is a testament to our project teams and local supply chain partners, who have quickly adapted to the new guidelines which have been introduced as a result of the pandemic, to ensure safe working and social distancing on site.

We are certainly seeing an increase in the demand for modular construction as an energy efficient, comprehensive solution for social housing, that provides high-quality, affordable, easily accessible and adaptable accommodation.

As modular sites are relatively unaffected by environmental delays such as bad weather less logistical transport is required for materials, which is more environmentally friendly and generates less waste.

Coun Robert Reid, district council cabinet member for housing and planning, said: We are building new homes in a range of different ways and the modular housing project is unique for us in that it has not been a traditional on-site build.

These are ambitious new-style developments providing homes for those who need them most and I am delighted to say both modular housing plots are fully occupied.

We are creating a better quality of life for our residents, which is part of our vision for the future of this district.

Mark Robinson, Scape Group chief executive, said: The UKs housing shortage needs to be addressed with speed and efficiency, so its exciting to see GF Tomlinson and South Kesteven District Council using our Regional Construction framework and innovative modular construction methods to do just that.

We take great pride in helping them to deliver a regional first strategy that will be of huge benefit to local communities.

GF Tomlinson saves time on 2.1m modular homes scheme - with the buildings made off-site - Business Live

Ilke has been selected by Nottinghamshire county council to develop and build 140 homes on a nine-acre former depot site in Arnold.

The modular housebuildersaid the scheme was the first where the council has released land for factory-built homes. It isthe first part of a programme to develop eight vacant sites.

The scheme will see Ilke develop the site as well as provide the homes. The firm intends to submit a planning application for a scheme of two, three and four-bed houses by the end of the month

In June the modular pioneer admitted starting a redundancy process with staff following a slowdown in orders during lockdown. However, since then the firm, which supplies modular homes from its factory in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, has announced a series of contract wins.

These include contracts with housing associations Orbit and Stonewater, as well as with Network Rail and housebuilder Vistry.

Last year, Ilke secured a 30m investment from housing quangoHomes England to increase the capacity of its factory, in a bid to boost the development of the MMC sector.

Councillor Kay Cutts, leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, said the council had selected Ilke Homes after receiving many bids from different housebuilders and developers during a tender process. She added: The re-use of this site for housing will be a huge benefit to the community and ilke Homes already appear to be making progress with their planning application.

Tom Heathcote, executive director of development at Ilke, said: Our housing technology means we can quickly deliver a high-quality scheme that brings this derelict site back into productive use and delivers much-needed, sustainable family homes for the local community.

Global Multifamily Modular Construction Market 2020 With Covid-19 Pandemic Analysis, Growth Rate And Forecast 2020-2026 : Palomar Modular Buildings,...

Dublin, Oct. 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Modular Construction Market by Type (Permanent, Relocatable), Material (Steel, Concrete, Wood), Modules, End-Use (Residential, Retail & Commercial, Education, Healthcare, Office, Hospitality), and Region - Global Forecast to 2025" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global modular construction market size is projected to grow from USD 85.4 billion in 2020 to USD 107.9 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 5.7%.

The growth of the modular construction market is attributed to an increase in concern towards work-zone safety, the need for lower environmental impacts, and supportive government initiatives.

Critical trends in the construction industry, such as shorter project schedules, the housing shortage in many countries, economic construction demand, and workforce shortages, are the factors that are driving the growth of the volumetric modular construction method.

In terms of value & volume, Permanent modular building is estimated to dominate the modular construction market in 2019.

Permanent modular construction (PMC) is an innovative building technique that utilizes offsite manufacturing methods to prefabricate single and multi-story structures in modular sections on the grounds of sustainability. PMC can be assembled into an existing structure or built to stand independently. The modules can then be completed with MEP interior finishes, fixtures, and appliances. These modules are brought to the actual site where the building or structure is to be erected. Using equipment such as cranes and other lifting and rigging tools, these modules are set on to the foundation of the building and joined together to make a single structure.

In terms of value and volume, steel is projected to be the fastest segment in the modular construction market from 2020 to 2025.

In modular construction, buildings are typically constructed with a steel frame, steel, cold form steel wall panels, and hot-rolled steel framework. In terms of material consumption, steel accounts for the largest share in the modular construction market. It is known for its strength-to-weight serviceability. Steel frames offer numerous advantages over wood-framed relocatable buildings. These include design flexibility, strength, structural integrity, durability, security, and fire resistance, reducing the need for repairs and maintenance throughout the building's lifespan.

Steel modular buildings have numerous advantages in terms of structural integrity, design flexibility, strength, durability, fire resistance, and less need for repairs and maintenance throughout the lifespan of the building have contributed towards its leading share in the modular construction market

The office segment is projected to be the fastest-growing end-use sector in the modular construction market from 2020 to 2025.

Office includes official & administrative buildings. Modular construction offers fully functional, and portable office space which can easily be modified if and when required. Companies are increasingly demanding modular offices as it doesn't disrupt the ongoing working environment and at the same time is requires less time on-site construction, compared to traditional construction. A relocatable modular office is an effective solution that allows the companies to proceed with business as usual. This prevents loss of revenue during the remodeling process. Modular offices are also widely used by contractors who require a temporary office space to work on their latest projects. These modular offices can be moved to another location anytime, and one office can be used for multiple jobs.

In terms of both value and volume, the Asia Pacific modular construction market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

In terms of value and volume, the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2020 to 2025. Factors such as the ready availability of raw materials and manpower, along with sophisticated technologies and innovations, have driven the growth of the economy in the Asia Pacific region. According to the World Bank, the two economic giants of the Asia Pacific region, China and Japan, are the world's second- and third-largest economies as of 2019.

Modular Construction Market by Type, Material, Modules, End-use, and Region - Global Forecast to 2025 - Stockhouse

Modular construction is a process in which a building is constructed off-site, under controlled plant conditions, using the same materials and designing to the same codes and standards as conventionally built facilities but in about half the time.

The global modular construction market is expected to grow by 7.1% CAGR from 2019 to 2025. Modular construction is the process by which the exterior construction of a building is completed using the same design, standards and materials.

Building construction takes place in a modular format, which is collected on site. The modular structure reduces field disturbance and generates less waste compared to conventional structures.

In addition, the dismantling of modular buildings is easy to do, and can be retrofitted and relocated for new modular homes, minimizing raw material demand and energy required to build new buildings.

Modular structures are used for permanent or temporary facilities such as military housing, classrooms, classrooms, construction camps and industrial facilities. In addition, modular homes and buildings are used in remote areas where conventional construction is not possible.

In addition, the modular structure finds major applications in medical facilities, churches, fast food restaurants and commercial offices.

The newest supercarrier will be named the USS Doris Miller after the African American sailor who helped save his injured captain and crewmates at Pearl Harbor. During the 1941 attack, Miller also opened fire on Japanese planes, despite the fact that being Black limited him to the job of messman, and he was not trained to use weapons. Most supercarriers are named after U.S. presidents, and this marks the first time an African American or an enlisted sailor has received the honor.

ROD AYDELOTTE/WACO TRIBUNE-HERALD/AP

Former sailors salute a 9-foot-tall bronze statue of Doris Miller during an unveiling ceremony on Dec. 7, 2017, in Millers hometown of Waco, Texas.

The Black press fought for his recognition back in 1941 seven years before the government committed to desegregating the military and his actions were immortalized in poems by Langston Hughes and Gwendolyn Brooks. Still, many in the Navy are unfamiliar with Millers story. Former acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly said the tribute was long overdue, and reflects the Navys diversity today: We have about 340,000 active-duty sailors, and they come from every part of the country, every skin color, every ethnicity.(NPR)

Frances Ministry of Ecological Transition announced a series of bans to improve animal welfare throughout the country. Traveling circuses will no longer be allowed to use wild animals such as tigers, bears, and elephants, and marine parks can no longer breed or obtain dolphins and orcas to keep in captivity. The new policies also bring an end to mink farming in France by 2025.

Elephants perform at the Arlette Gruss Circus in Bordeaux, France, on Feb. 4, 2014.

Some of the changes go into effect immediately, while others will be implemented over several years. It is time to open a new era in our relationship with these [wild] animals, said Barbara Pompili, the environment minister. The government is dedicating $9.4 million to help marine parks transition into sanctuaries and find new jobs for circus and marine park workers. (The Associated Press, Green Matters)

Togo has a record number of women in the upper echelons of government after a recent cabinet reshuffle. Women have been appointed to 30% of the countrys 33 ministerial positions, including Prime Minister Victoire Tomegah Dogbe and Defense Minister Essozimna Marguerite Gnakade a first for each post. While some hesitate to celebrate since President Faure Gnassingb a controversial figure who continues his 15-year rule despite growing opposition is still in power, others say the historic lineup gives them hope. Ms. Dogbe in particular has led efforts against youth unemployment and poverty, and is widely respected throughout the country. Human rights activist Mimi Dossou Soeddj said the appointment sends a strong signal to our young girls and women that they have the right to dream big. (Reuters, CNN, Deutsche Welle)

Kazakhstan took an important step toward abolishing the death penalty with the signing of the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. There are now only three countries in Europe and Central Asia that have not signed the document: Russia, Tajikistan, and Belarus.Kazakhstan has been gradually narrowing the scope of capital punishment. The courts generally stopped imposing the death penalty in 2004, but can make exceptions for acts of terrorism. A man convicted of a 2016 mass shooting remains the only person on death row today. In his speech to the United Nations, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev stressed that Kazakhstan is committed to the implementation of the fundamental right to life and human dignity, according to a Kazakh Foreign Ministry statement.

Hong Kongs latest transitional housing initiative is helping low-income families live with dignity. In one of the worlds most expensive and crowded cities, thousands are waiting an average of 5 1/2 years to access public housing. Transitional homes built on idle land offer a short-term solution. Nam Cheong 2020 is Hong Kongs first modular home project, whose prefabricated dwellings can be moved and reused when the lease is done.

The four-story modular homes in Hong Kong are made from prefabricated parts.

Although temporary, the 290-square-foot apartments have already made a huge difference for families such as Lau Kai Fai, his wife, and their teenage son. They recently swapped their 80-square-foot coffin home for a spot in Nam Cheong 2020, paying 60% of their old rent. They can cook, eat meals together, and do homework at an actual desk. It feels like a home, Mr. Lau said. The previous flat was only a place to sleep. (Reuters)

Rights of nature laws are gaining momentum around the world, empowering communities and bringing fresh arguments to court. Based in Indigenous thought, this approach affirms the rights of rivers, reefs, and other forms of nature to exist and thrive. Under the current paradigm, say environmental activists, nature is treated as property, limiting the ways in which people can defend the planet against pollution and overuse.At least 14 countries have adopted rights of nature laws in recent years, sometimes through judicial decisions, international resolutions, or constitutional amendments. From Bolivia to Bangladesh, these measures allow residents to sue for harm done to nature on behalf of their local ecosystems. This is a new area of rights, but its also a growing movement, said Monti Aguirre, Latin America coordinator with International Rivers. (Thomson Reuters Foundation)
