Mapping the Materials Base for REMADE

The goals of this project are (i) to provide REMADE with a common understanding of how REMADE materials are currently being produced, processed, used, reused, remanufactured, recycled, and disposed of in the U.S. and globally; (ii) to develop a common set of recycling metrics across REMADE materials; and (iii) to use the developed material cycles as baseline for a set of scenarios on the supply and demand of REMADE materials in Institute years 5 and 10. The REMADE materials to be analyzed are metals (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum), fibers (paper, textiles), polymers (PET, PE, PP, PS, PVC), and selected electronics (printed circuit boards).
