April 17 2024 - 11:59AM
(April 17, 2024 - Washington, D.C.) – ISRI, Voice of the
Recycled Materials Industry™, will present its 2024 Design for
Recycling® Award to the REMADE Institute at the ISRI2024 Convention
and Exposition on April 18, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nev. REMADE is being
honored with the award for its programmatic research to support
implementation of Design for Recycling® (DFR) principles in
manufacturing.
The DFR Award is ISRI’s highest recognition given annually to
the most-outstanding contribution to DFR principles, whether
through manufactured products, manufacturing innovations, or
research or program activities.
“We are delighted to honor the REMADE Institute with ISRI’s
Design for Recycling award that recognizes the organization’s
substantial contributions to encouraging DFR product design in
manufacturing,” said ISRI President Robin Wiener. “REMADE’s
significant and unique support for research in Design for
Recycling, recycling technologies, and systems analysis for
recyclable and recycled materials in the U.S. economy are
innovative and help to reduce emissions.”
Founded in 2017, REMADE (Reducing EMbodied Energy
And Decreasing Emissions), is a 167-member
public-private partnership established and funded in part by the
U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Advanced Materials and
Manufacturing Technologies (AMMTO) with an initial investment of
$140 million. 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 early-stage applied research and development that
will create jobs, dramatically reduce embodied energy and
greenhouse gas emissions, and increase the supply and use of
recycled materials.
“The REMADE Institute is honored to receive the 2024 Design for
Recycling® Award from ISRI, an industry trade organization
leader, founding member of the Institute, and a longtime partner of
ours,” said REMADE CEO Nabil Nasr. “Together with our members,
REMADE is dedicated to accelerating the nation’s transition to the
Circular Economy. Nowhere is that more important than right at the
beginning in the design phase. Circular design is a vital area of
research, and this award recognizes that and raises awareness of
the critical role that circular design plays in the race to net
zero by 2050.”
For more than 15 years, ISRI’s DFR award has highlighted the
successes of innovative product design. Recent winners include
Sonoco Alloyd, Cascade Engineering, Lexmark, and Nestlé Waters
North America. The full list is available here.
