About REMADE℠
Founded in 2017, REMADE is a public-private partnership funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMTO).
THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY INSTITUTE
REMADE is the only national institute focused entirely on developing innovative technologies to accelerate the U.S.’s transition to a Circular Economy.
In partnership with industry, academia, trade organizations, and national laboratories, REMADE enables applied research and development that increases the reuse, remanufacturing, recycling and recovery of energy-intensive materials; increases energy and material efficiency; lowers emissions, which in turn, increases U.S. manufacturing competitiveness; strengthens the resiliency of the U.S. supply chain; generates economic growth opportunities; and creates and retains jobs.
“Across the nation and around the world, the adoption of a circular economy is recognized as a critical driver to a prosperous future.”
Nabil Nasr, CEO, The REMADE Institute
Our Goals
REMADE focuses its efforts on driving down the cost of technologies essential to reuse, remanufacture, and recycle energy-intensive materials: metals, including aluminum and steel; fibers, including paper and textiles; polymers, including plastics; and electronic scrap (e-scrap).
GOAL 1
Develop technologies capable of reducing energy emissions through a reduction in primary material consumption and an increase in secondary feedstock use in energy-intensive industries.
GOAL 2
Promote widespread application of new enabling technologies across multiple industries.
GOAL 3
Develop technologies capable of achieving feedstock “better than cost and energy parity” for key secondary materials.
GOAL 4
Educate, train, and develop the incumbent and future workforce to support deployment of REMADE technologies.
How is Success Measured?
Our Technical Performance Metrics (TPMs) are designed to benchmark what success looks like. These metrics were identified and outlined in our technology roadmap and are reviewed annually.
