This document aims to describe EERE’s economic and environmental impact goals related to increasing product and material circularity and to communicate EERE’s work in advancing the approaches, strategies, and technologies that contribute to achieving those goals. It identifies opportunities, challenges, and enablers for advancing circularity as well as providing an overview of current efforts across EERE.
