On this episode, Tim Noonan, founder and CEO of Evertrak joins me on the show. Their company is making some of the strongest, most innovative railroad ties in the US. Their ties are made with Glass Fiber fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) from recycled plastic.

The railroad industry has a problem that runs 140,000 miles long. 20 million wood ties are replaced each year because of bugs, moisture, and wear. This represents 6 million trees.

Evertrak 7000 ties are engineered to perform reliably in track for 50 years in high-rot regions, reducing replacement costs, deforestation, and the use of dangerous creosote.
