Regulations

Institute for Reducing EMbodied-Energy And Decreasing Emissions (REMADE) is a public-private partnership dedicated to advancing U.S. manufacturing through technologies that support a circular economy. It works towards reducing the embodied energy and carbon emissions associated with materials production, thus promoting sustainability in manufacturing.

Official Site

Mission

REMADE's mission is to drastically reduce lifecycle energy consumption and emissions in U.S. manufacturing through the development of technologies for reuse, recycling, and remanufacturing of materials. This initiative seeks to enhance material efficiency, decrease reliance on virgin materials, and foster a sustainable industrial ecosystem[1].

Parent organization

REMADE is supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, specifically the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO)[2].

Legislation

REMADE was established through a cooperative agreement with the DOE rather than specific legislation, advancing the Manufacturing USA initiative[3].

Partners

REMADE collaborates with:

Over 100 partners including industry leaders, academic institutions, and national labs[4]
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation for circular economy principles[5]
Various companies like Caterpillar, John Deere, and Michelin for technology development[6]

Number of employees

The exact number of employees directly associated with REMADE isn't publicly specified, but it works with a network of researchers and industry experts.

Organization structure

REMADE's structure includes:

**Research and Development Division** for technology innovation.
**Education and Workforce Development** to train professionals in circular economy practices.

Leader

The institute is led by a **Chief Executive Officer**[7].

Divisions

The divisions include:

**R&D Projects** focusing on metals, polymers, fibers, and e-scrap.
**Workforce Development** for education and training programs[8].

List of programs

Technology Development Projects[9]
Circular Economy Workforce Training[10]
Annual Circular Economy Technology Summit & Conference[11]

Last total enacted budget

REMADE was initially funded with a $140 million investment from the DOE, matched by private contributions, making a total of $280 million[12].

Staff

While specific staff numbers aren't disclosed, REMADE operates through a network of member organizations, with over 167 members as of recent updates[13].

Funding

REMADE's funding comes from a combination of federal investments from the DOE and matched private funding from its members. Since its founding, it has leveraged these funds to support numerous R&D projects[14].

Services provided

REMADE provides technology research funding, educational initiatives for workforce development, and organizes conferences to share advancements in circular economy technologies. These services aim at reducing energy consumption, increasing material reuse, and cutting down on emissions in manufacturing[15].

Regulations overseen

As REMADE is not a regulatory body, it does not oversee regulations but works within the framework of DOE initiatives and environmental policies[16].

Headquarters address

1 Lomb Memorial Drive, Rochester, NY 14623, USA

History

Founded in 2017, REMADE is designed to lead the U.S. towards a circular economy by focusing on material reuse and recycling technologies. It's headquartered at the Rochester Institute of Technology, leveraging its sustainability expertise. REMADE has since launched nearly 100 projects to innovate in how materials are managed in manufacturing[17].
