The abstract submission deadline has been extended to September 30th for Engineering Solutions for Sustainability: Materials and Resources (ESS: M&R 3) “Towards a Circular Economy”. The symposium/workshop is February 18-19, 2017 prior to SME’s annual conference in Denver. A circular economy has been defined as “an alternative to a traditional linear economy (make, use, dispose) in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, and then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each service life.” (source: www.wrap.org.uk) To see detailed areas of focus and submit, visit http://www.essmandr3.org
