REMADE Institute to Lead Circular Economy Workforce Training in Partnership with RIT, ReMA and RIC

Training will support businesses and workers in the nation’s rapidly growing electronics scrap and remanufacturing industries

ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The REMADE Institute is pleased to announce it has been awarded $380,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy to develop Circular Economy workforce training for the nation’s rapidly growing electronics scrap and remanufacturing industries. REMADE℠ will lead the workforce project and partner on it with the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), the Recycled Materials Association (ReMA), and the Remanufacturing Industries Council (RIC).

The goal of the project is to develop bilingual, English and Spanish, online workforce training for roles that do not require four-year degrees in the e-scrap and remanufacturing industries. Both of these industries have significant needs for employees who can fill these types of roles, which include shop-floor workers as well as repair, test and diagnostic technicians. The specific training developed as part of this project would teach not only entry-level shop-floor workers, but would also provide progressive training to allow workers to move up the ladder into repair, test and diagnostic technician jobs.

“Upskilling the nation’s workforce is critical for ensuring the nation’s successful transition to a Circular Economy,” said REMADE CEO Nabil Nasr. “Improved training in these industries will reduce the onboarding costs for entry-level employees and facilitate upskilling. It will also address significant barriers for these businesses as they seek to accelerate circularity in the consumer electronics industry.”

E-scrap companies identify products and components that are worth repairing and reselling and they need shop-floor workers who can support them with sorting, testing, diagnostics and more. Consumer electronic product remanufacturers have similar roles for shop floor workers and technicians. They need workers who can support them with disassembly, sorting, testing, diagnostics and more.

“Access to skilled operators and experienced technicians is a challenge all over in manufacturing, and is no less a problem for companies that process e-scrap or remanufacture electronics,” said Mike Thurston, technical director at RIT’s Golisano Institute for Sustainability. “This program is designed to help bridge that labor gap.”

“ReMA is excited to partner on the creation of bilingual electronics recycling workforce training resources that will support the ongoing success of electronic recycling businesses throughout the U.S.,” said ReMA President Robin Wiener. “With the generation of end-of-life electronics projected to grow to 74 million tons by 2030, it is important that we proactively work to build the talent pool who will be necessary to reintroduce those materials back into the manufacturing supply chain.”

“RIC member companies are contending with the same labor shortages facing the rest of the manufacturing industry,” said RIC Chair Jeff Sutherland. “We are pleased to support this project to facilitate the onboarding of new remanufacturing employees.”

The funding for this award is provided by the DOE’s Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO), and is one of five awards that were recently announced to accelerate the development, deployment, and scale-up of education and workforce programs that support the labor needs of American manufacturing. This funding will be used to expand such programs to broader communities across the country and meet the future labor needs of industries that are projected to expand rapidly in the immediate future as part of the nation’s shift to a clean energy economy.

“Investing in the success of our nation’s workforce is critical to a globally competitive domestic manufacturing sector and the future of our clean energy economy,” said AMMTO Director Chris Saldaña. “The U.S. Department of Energy is proud to support projects that provide workers with new and exciting opportunities to enter the rapidly growing electronic scrap and remanufacturing industries and support the upscaling of workers across the clean energy sector.”

About REMADE
Founded in 2017, REMADE℠ is a 170+ member public-private partnership established and funded in part by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (AMMTO) with an initial investment of $140 million. REMADE is the only national institute focused entirely on developing innovative technologies to accelerate the U.S.’s transition to a Circular Economy. In partnership with industry, academia, trade organizations, and national laboratories, REMADE enables early-stage applied research and development that will create jobs, dramatically reduce embodied energy and greenhouse gas emissions, and increase the supply and use of recycled materials.

CHENGDU, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. (SZSE: 300502), a leading innovator and provider of advanced optical transceiver solutions, announces the release of its OSFP 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2xFR4 transceivers enabling the next generation high bandwidth networks for AI/ML clusters and cloud datacenters.

Eoptolink 1.6T OSFP transceivers have 8 electrical host interfacing lanes and 8 optical lanes operating at 212.5Gb/s (106GB with PAM4). Equipped with the industry’s latest DSP, these modules support transmission distances of up to 2km without the need to regenerate the FEC. The 1.6T DR8 and DR8-2 modules comes with either one MPO-16 adapter for point-to-point (P2P) connections or two MPO-12 adapters for 2x800G breakout applications. The 1.6T 2xFR4 modules are designed with a dual duplex LC connector running with 2 pairs of fibers only, which could help users to save fiber resources compared to DR8 and DR8-2 versions.

The 1.6T DR8/DR8-2 and 2FR4 Portfolio consists of: – 

EOLO-13T-5H-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 1×1.6TbE, 500m, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-5H-XDX    OSFP 1.6T DR8, 2x800GbE, 500m, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-13T-02-XMX    OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 1×1.6TbE, 2km, MPO-16
EOLO-13T-02-XDX     OSFP 1.6T DR8-2, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual MPO-12
EOLO-16T-02-XXX     OSFP 1.6T 2FR4, 2x800GbE, 2km, Dual Duplex LC

Eoptolink OSFP 1.6T transceivers feature both EML and SiPh-based solutions, and testing has demonstrated excellent performance. “We are very proud of our optical and RF design teams, says Sean Davies, VP Sales, Eoptolink Technology Inc., Ltd. “Our 1.6T OSFP modules do not need an additional FEC on the optical side and this results in lower latency and power consumption of the modules simplifying the complete system and helping our AI and cloud customers in their work.”

TULUFAN, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 19, employees of State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company came to State Power Investment Zhongli Tenghui Qiquanhu Photovoltaic Power Station to provide comprehensive technical support and guidance for new energy enterprises.

Seven wind power and photovoltaic power generation enterprises, including Xinjiang Jize Power Generation Company in Tulufan, have obtained 6.035 million KWH of grid electricity by purchasing 6,035 “green certificates” to achieve “green electricity – green electricity” and achieve green energy use in the whole link of new energy power generation.

The green power certificate, referred to as “green certificate”, is the only certificate that identifies the production and consumption of renewable energy power. Promoting the all-green operation of new energy power generation is an important measure to promote the green consumption of renewable energy.

“Before, we were just ‘producers’ of green electricity. Now the buyers of green certificates have become green electricity consumers, and the production process is fully green.” Qiquan Lake photovoltaic power station inspection officer Forzati Dilishati said.

Since the launch of the green electricity and green certificate market, State Grid Tulufan Electric Power Supply Company has actively promoted green electricity trading, promoted the supply of green electricity and green certificates in multiple scenarios, promoted the rapid promotion and popularization of related services in Tulufan, and helped build a new power system.

In the first eight months of this year, the cumulative volume of green electricity transactions in Xinjiang reached 1.174 billion KWH, 93.83 times that of the whole year of 2022.
