Accelerating the Transition to a Circular Economy

Today, manufacturing accounts for 25% of U.S. energy consumption at a cost to U.S. manufacturers of $150 billion. 

Our experts, together with our partners, are working to reduce those amounts and, in the process, enhance U.S. manufacturing competitiveness, increase material efficiency, and strengthen the resiliency of the U.S. supply chain.

Thank You!

The REMADE Institute, in partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and with support from the U.S. Department of Energy, hosted the third-annual REMADE℠ Circular Economy Technology Summit & Conference  on Thursday and Friday, April 10-11, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

Thank you to everyone that attended this years’ conference and to all that sponsored, spoke, and presented. Your participation helped to create a one unified, in-depth, multidisciplinary, action-based scientific conference. 

We look forward to Seeing you in 2026!
