This webinar will provide an update on progress made after the first year of the project. The goal of this R&D project is to conduct a systems analysis of a circular economy of PET and olefin plastics (HDPE/LDPE-LLDPE/PP) with a U.S. scope and with a Michigan case study. In doing this, the project team will apply the conceptual modeling framework developed earlier in a REMADE exploratory project.

This short course provides a brief introduction to the fundamentals of Design for Re-X. The motivating factors for Design for Re-X are described, and the four steps of the traditional engineering design process are articulated, including generating alternatives, estimating outcomes, making tradeoff decisions (often under uncertainty) and identifying the best design. Re-X processes are defined, particularly remanufacturing and recycling. The additional considerations Re-X brings to the four design steps are described.
