| Abstract | The REMADE Institute invests in research and development to develop technology solutions to enable the increased remanufacturing and recycling of metals, polymers, fibers, and e-waste. Increasing the recycling and remanufacturing of these materials can significantly contribute to an increase in energy efficiency, an increase in materials use efficiency, and a reduction of GHG emissions in the domestic manufacturing sector. The current R&D portfolio of REMADE is structured across five activities including systems analysis and integration, manufacturing materials optimization, design for Re-X, remanufacturing and end-of-life reuse, and recovery and recycling. This paper outlines the mission of the Institute, provides an overview of the structure and approach in developing the R&D portfolio, and describes a few of the projects and their beneficial energy, materials, and environmental impacts from our broad R&D portfolio. |
