Sustainable Materials Engineering Technical Committee

The Sustainable Materials Engineering Technical Committee focuses on the growing interest globally in sustainability driven by changes in government policy, consumer demand, and corporations rethinking their strategic direction. The materials sector will play a critical role over the next decade in providing material solutions to reduce a variety of environmental and socio-economic impacts including the reduction of carbon emissions, the improvement of renewable energy platforms for electricity generation, storage, and transportation (e.g., electric vehicles), and the reduction of materials waste (improved recycling/re-use/biodegradability). The committee will work on conference programming and education offerings, and support student outreach in coordination with the ASM Materials Education Foundation.
