Major Initiatives

Plastics Recycling

Developing Advanced Technologies

The REMADE Institute and its members are developing advanced technologies to dramatically increase the collection, sorting, separation, reprocessing, chemical recycling, solvent extraction, and purification of domestic plastic waste.

Our Goals

Demonstrate 30% primary feedstock reduction and 30% secondary feedstock increase

Show 25% improvement in embodied energy efficiency

Demonstrate approaches to cost-effective cross-Industry use of secondary feedstocks
