2023 Conference Recap

On behalf of the REMADE Institute and our 170 members, we would like to extend our deepest appreciation to the 300+ participants and attendees of our first-ever REMADE℠ Circular Economy Technology Summit & Conference at the National Academy of Sciences Building in Washington, D.C. Your participation was, and continues to be, critically important to REMADE’s mission and the nation’s transition to a Circular Economy.

We would also like to extend special thanks to our Organizing Committee, Program Committee, and our conference partners, supporters, and sponsors, including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), the National Science Foundation, ISRI, Davies Office and RIT. Without your support, the conference would not have been possible. 

We look forward to seeing you at future REMADE events.
