The Circular Economy Institute

Accelerating the Transition to a Circular Economy

Today, manufacturing accounts for 25% of U.S. energy consumption at a cost of $150 billion. Industry is also the third largest contributor to U.S. greenhouse gas emissions after transportation and electricity at 23%. Factor in the electricity consumed by the industrial sector, and industry becomes the single largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in the nation at 30%.

Our experts, together with our partners, are working to reduce those amounts.
In fact, reducing embodied energy and decreasing emissions is in our name: REMADE.

Call for Papers!

The REMADE Institute, in partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and with support from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), is pleased to announce a Call for Papers in preparation for the third-annual REMADE℠ Circular Economy Technology Summit & Conference, which will take place  Thursday and Friday, April 10-11, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

Abstracts for the Call for Papers, which includes a list of topics and an anticipated schedule with deadlines, are due Nov. 22, 2024. Submissions from academic researchers, industry innovators, and others, including international experts, are strongly encouraged.

We look forward to reviewing your submission!
