From the long-term availability of natural resources\, to the protection and recovery of ecosystems from global pollution\, the benefits of such a system of production and consumption can be far-reaching\, if i mplemented judiciously. This workshop will introduce the topic of circular economy and examine several areas where technological advances or scaling are needed. Expert presentations and discussion topics will include:\n\n1 . At the beginning of the economic cycle: the important topic of the avail ability of critical mineral resources used in electronics and battery prod ucts\, including design for reuse/recycling\;\n\n2. During the manufacturi ng and consumption phases of the economic cycle: technologies to track com ponents and products through\, for example\, “digital passports”\;\n\n 3. At the end of the economic cycle: solutions for managing widespread was te and pollution\, including the carbon emissions which now cripple our pl anet’s climate.\n\nOur aim is to expand your knowledge\, build connectio ns\, and brainstorm ideas which can help the IEEE build communities and re sources to develop the solutions that are urgently needed.\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE-USA\, IEEE SSIT\, IEEE IAS\, IEEE OES\, IEEE PES\, IEEE TEMS\, I EEE SA\n\nEmbassy Suites by Hilton Santa Ana Orange County Airport\, 1325 E Dyer Rd\, Santa Ana\, California\, United States\, 92705\, Virtual: http s://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/474420 LOCATION:Embassy Suites by Hilton Santa Ana Orange County Airport\, 1325 E Dyer Rd\, Santa Ana\, California\, United States\, 92705\, Virtual: https: //events.vtools.ieee.org/m/474420 ORGANIZER:e.perkins@ieee.org SEQUENCE:38 SUMMARY:Technologies for a Circular Economy Workshop URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/474420 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h3 style="text-align: center\;">Technologies for a Circular Economy<br>A one-day <em>hybrid</em> workshop at SusTech 2 025\, sponsored by the IEEE Technical Activities&rsquo\; Future Directions <a href="https://sustech.ieee.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SusTec h Initiative</a></h3>\n<p style="text-align: center\;">For agenda details see&nbsp\;<a href="https://sustech.ieee.org/circular-economy" target="_bla nk" rel="noopener">https://sustech.ieee.org/circular-economy</a></p>\n<p>< span style="color: rgb(224\, 62\, 45)\;"><strong>NOTE: This is Workshop-on ly registration\,</strong></span> the workshop is included with <a href="h ttps://ieee-sustech.org/"><strong>SusTech 2025 conference registration</st rong></a>.</p>\n<p>Registration includes access to the workshop\, breakfas t\, lunch and coffee breaks.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong><em>By arrangement wit h the <a href="https://sustech.ieee.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">S usTech Initiative</a> this workshop-only registration is at no charge.</em ></strong></p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">Building a circular econo my is becoming increasingly recognized as a means of achieving a variety o f sustainability goals.
