Registration is now open for the Workshop on Fostering a Circular Economy of Manufacturing Materials, to be held virtually April 20-21, 2022. The workshop is being organized by ASTM International’s sustainability committee (E60).

The workshop will provide a forum to identify standards opportunities to foster a circular economy in discarded materials from manufacturing operations, as opposed to consumer waste generation or decommissioning of the facilities.

The objective of the workshop is to develop a roadmap for ASTM technical standards to support the formation and engagement of manufacturers in a circular economy.

Topics will include:

• Vision for a circular economy focusing on discarded materials from manufacturing;
• Review of current manufacturing measurement practices supporting circularity;
• Review of existing and ongoing supporting standards activities;
• Success stories from industry participants on injecting circularity into manufacturing operations; and
• Facilitated brainstorming and discussion of standards needs and gaps.

Additional technical information is available from workshop co-chairs KC Morris (Katherine.morris@nist.gov) and Amy Costello (aacostello@armstrongceilings.com).
