The PA Recycling Markets Center will host the PA ReMaDe Conference - Advancing Circular Economy September 18-19 in Bethlehem at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem. What is a circular economy? A circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear economy-- make, use, dispose. A circular economy keeps resources in use for as long as possible, extracts the maximum value from them while in use, then recovers and regenerates products and materials at the end of each service life. The PA ReMaDe Conference strives to connect anyone involved with recycling, materials management, and manufacturing to the opportunities of the circular economy. The keynote Conference speaker will be Tom Szaky, CEO and founder of TerraCycle, which has worked to establish unique take back systems and recycled content product manufacturing in conjunction with major consumer brand companies, citizen-stakeholders, and governmental bodies leading to greater global circularity and producer responsibility. During the Conference, services and tools that expedite advancement of circularity will be presented, including creation of business growth impacts through reuse, repurposing, refurbishment, repair, remanufacture, reprocessing, and upcycle of materials and products. Presentations in several topic areas will be offered, including-- -- Circularity of the fiber industry -- Circularity of the glass industry -- Organics recycling: nature’s circular economy -- Circular systems in plastics recovery -- Life cycle analysis -- EPA sustainable materials management -- Pennsylvania Showcase of Circularity, including-- -- Just Born Quality Confections -- C.F.
