Rstream Recycling LLC received a $275,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to develop an autonomous waste sorting platform. The platform aims to improve landfill diversion and recycling rates for non-industrial waste streams at high-traffic venues like stadiums, universities, airports, and theme parks. Currently, waste sorting at these facilities is done manually or through expensive robotic...
This $142,901 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Measurement Science and Engineering (MSE) Research Grant Program (CFDA 11.609) supports research at Purdue University to develop measurements and indicators that allow decision-makers to optimize the circularity of materials within product life cycles. The key activities include developing lifecycle models for engines and server assemblies to identify circularity challenges and...
This $289,851 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities (IA) program supports research at the University of Delaware that aims to develop new pathways for the recovery and recycling of rare-earth elements (REEs). The project focuses on investigating the formation and properties of high-temperature REE-sulfate liquids, with the goal of advancing alternative REE extraction and separation technologies that could enable more circular manufacturing...
This Cooperative Agreement award, with a total funding amount of $163,345, was provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards (CFDA 11.609) Federal Grant Program. The purpose of this project is to address limitations of the product circularity assessment method identified through industry case studies, in order to make it more robust and improve decision-making during the product development process for...
The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $67,314,320 Cooperative Agreement to Real Alloy Recycling, LLC under the Clean Energy Demonstrations program (CFDA 81.255) to design, construct, and operate a closed-loop salt slag recycling unit at their aluminum recycling facility in Wabash, Indiana. The project aims to divert approximately 70% of the facility's salt slag waste from landfills and instead produce marketable products such as flux, aluminum oxide, ammonium sulfate, and reusable hydrogen....
