Over the course of the first week, the foundations for the Metals Recycling and Sustainability project were laid. In order to promote team collaboration, I created a team folder to hold our notes, important documents, and links to helpful websites and articles. This shared space will allow us to more effectively communicate ideas and

Throughout this week I focused primarily on research with E-waste recycling, specifically on recycling PCBs (printed circuit boards). During this time, I developed a better understanding of the practices that are generally used in E-waste recycling, as well as the many processes involved in recycling PCBs. By recycling PCBs, we can recover the important

Working towards sustainable metal-forming processes, the Loewy Institute has joined the REMADE Institute in a project aimed at reducing the amount of aluminum material needed for vehicles, aircraft, electrical components, and more. Certain processes–such as aluminum extrusion–cannot be replaced by other metal-forming methods, but have the ability to be further optimized and therefore use less
