We are very please to welcome Prof. Nabil Nasr, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and Director of the Golisano Institute for Sustainability at Rochester Institute of Technology, USA, as a keynote lecturer at July's Sustainable Minerals '22. His research interests focus on the circular economy, life cycle engineering, cleaner production and sustainable product development, and he is considered an international leader in research and development efforts in these disciplines. He feels that in response to growing materials challenges, there is a need to address those challenges at a national level with clear goals and objectives.
Prof. Nasr is also the founding Chief Executive Officer of the REMADE Institute, formed in 2017 as a public/private partnership focused on developing transformational technologies to accelerate the transition to a Circular Economy for plastics, metals, fibers and e-waste, focusing on driving down the cost of technologies essential to reuse, recycle and remanufacture such materials.
Prof. Nasr's presentation will provide an overview of the REMADE Institute and its technology strategy, which seeks to enable early stage applied research and development of key industrial platform technologies. This could dramatically reduce the embodied energy, emissions, and waste and increase material availability associated with industrial-scale materials production and processing, by eliminating and/or mitigating technical and economic barriers that prevent greater material recycling, recovery, remanufacturing and reuse.
Prof. Nasr's lecture will be one of three keynotes at Sustainable Minerals '22 and there is currently a call for abstracts for the online event, which should be submitted by the end of April.
