![Systems Analysis Tools and First Insights from REMADE Projects - Jan. 24 & 26]()
This course will provide an introduction to systems analysis, the principles of the Circular Economy, and the tools and metrics used to measure progress towards more material circularity. These tools and metrics build on industrial ecology, a sustainability science that uses a holistic systems approach while assessing the material, energy, and environmental implications of economic activity.
![Mapping the Materials Base for REMADE]()
In this project webinar we look at the U.S. and global material cycles for metals, fibers, plastics, and printed circuit boards and how this key information helps calculate recycling rates and more.
![A Systems Analysis of Plastics in the Global Economy: 2020 Update]()
An introduction to the global waste plastics problem and contrast linear versus circular economy for plastics. These polymeric materials are currently recycled at low rates in the U.S., but are among the largest volumes of polymeric materials that are recyclable.
![A Systems Analysis of Plastics in the Global Economy]()
The webinar will present an introduction to the global waste plastics problem, (PET and olefin plastics - polyethylene, polypropylene) contrast linear versus circular economy for plastics and summarize the REMADE exploratory project goals and tasks.
These polymeric materials are currently recycled at low rates in the U.S., but are among the largest volumes of polymeric materials that are recyclable.
![Materials Disruption Possibilities, Now & Into The Future]()
Join Yale University’s thought leader and expert in industrial ecology, Thomas Graedel, as he shares his perspective on the possible disruption of materials supplies and why the future of metals availability is such a complex topic—one that depends upon a mix of geological knowledge, materials science, technology and economics.
