Earlier this year, the REMADE Institute was proud to announce its sixth Request for Proposals (RFP), representing $20 million in investment to sustain U.S. manufacturing and accelerate the U.S.’s transition to a Circular Economy.
The Institute sought technology proposals for research, development and demonstration (RD&D) projects that would develop and demonstrate tools and technologies consistent with REMADE’s goals to reduce energy and emissions; achieve better than cost and energy parity; and promote the widespread application of new enabling technologies across multiple industries. RD&D projects were required to align with one or more of the Institute’s focus areas: systems analysis and integration; design for reuse, remanufacturing, recovery and recycling (design for Re-X); manufacturing materials optimization; remanufacturing; and/or recovery and recycling.
RD&D projects were also required to address one or more of the energy-intensive material classes that REMADE focuses on: metals, such as steel and aluminum; polymers, including plastics; fibers, including paper and textiles; and electronic waste (e-waste).
At the same time, REMADE also sought traditional R&D projects that complement the Institute’s existing portfolio and align with the organization’s focus areas.
All REMADE funding requires 1:1 cost share from project teams.

Please check this space for updates later this fall.
