As countries around the world rush to deploy COVID-19 vaccines on an unprecedented scale to stave off further spikes in infections, the auto industry continues in its efforts to rebuild inventories and support recovering demand. Given the production disruption related to forced shutdowns last year and the somewhat deliberate re-start in many markets, the global supply chain remains fragile with recent reports of semiconductor shortages representing only one example of challenges facing the industry as it looks to return to a profile of recovery and growth. This virtual event will discuss IHS Markit’s latest Automotive outlook with a particular focus on vehicle demand and supply conditions and trends impacting the industry.

SESSION OBJECTIVES/TAKEAWAYS

• Review the latest economic outlook particularly as it impacts the auto industry
• Examine the latest global light vehicle sales and production settings
• Discuss IHS Markit’s US light vehicle sales outlook, trends influencing the market and the North American light vehicle production outlook
• Explore broader megatrends to watch, including increasing deployment of Electric Vehicles and emerging new mobility trends

2:00 PM ET

In our current global pandemic environment, the need to reduce infection transmission by keeping surfaces clean and sterile has created a need for durable plastic products of all types to withstand today’s caustic disinfecting chemicals, including those certified to kill COVID-19. Environmental Stress Cracking (ESC) is a solvent-induced failure mode where chemical disinfectants attack molded-in stresses, causing cracking, crazing, loss of impact strength and eventual premature product/part failures. With nearly 25% of all plastic part failures already attributed to ESC, the frequency of these failures are expected to worsen. This webinar will discuss the need to rethink traditional material selections and a thorough review of chemically resistant options which can survive repeated cleanings with relevant ESC resistance data for dozens of materials.

2:00 PM ET

From production delays, to force majeure. From weather events, to global pandemics. There are hundreds of hurdles to overcome in order to get material available in the first place. Hurdles that have only gotten higher in today’s world. Factor in the struggles in the trucking industry, and the likelihood of not meeting expectations inevitably grows. In collaboration with several of our key logistics partners, this webinar is designed to outline the current freight environment. We’ll offer insight on our near-term projections, what we are doing to overcome the obstacles we face, as well as offer suggestions to help navigate them from beginning to end. Little changes, such as small tweaks to ordering patterns, modifying receiving availability, and production transparency can greatly minimize the supply obstacles encountered when keeping your production moving, and your inventory turning.

Bringing together, FOR THE FIRST TIME, all aspects of the Circular Economy into one unified, in-depth, multidisciplinary, action-based scientific conference.

The REMADE Institute, in partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, will host the first REMADE Circular Economy Technology Summit & Conference in Washington, D.C. The conference will take place on Monday and Tuesday, March 20-21, 2023, at the National Academy of Sciences Building, 2101 Constitution Ave., N.W., in the nation’s capital. This conference will serve as a national thought-leadership event on the Circular Economy.

For the past 150 years, economic growth has depended on our ability to extract resources from the ground, convert them into products we use, and eventually throw them away. This "Take - Make - Waste" extractive economy, which relies on fossil fuels, does not manage resources for the long-term. To solve this problem, we must transition to a Circular Economy, where we fundamentally transform the way we produce and use goods. The Circular Economy addresses the shortcomings of the current systems while creating new opportunities for business and society. It is based on three principles driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, circulate products and materials, and regenerate natural systems. The Circular Economy offers systems solutions that reduce the likelihood of future shocks and create resilience.

The objective of the REMADE Circular Economy Technology Summit & Conference is to advance the national conversation on a circular approach and how sustainable manufacturing can support the nation in meeting its multiple energy, environmental, and economic goals.

The conference will be open to REMADE members and non-members alike. It will feature experts highlighting emerging technologies and research that will advance and accelerate the nation’s transition to a Circular Economy.
