SRSL is part of two R&D projects, funded by the Department of Energy (DOE) through the REMADE Institute, to study and advance design for sustainability (REMADE  Announcement). One project is titled “Quantification of Financial and Environmental Benefits Tradeoffs in Multi-Generational Product Family Development Considering Re-X Performances,” led by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; the other project is titled “Design Iteration Tool to Sustain Remanufacturability,” led by Iowa State University. Both projects are two years in duration and represent efforts to support and facilitate university-industry collaboration.
