Abstract:

This special report is a compilation of briefs presented at the 2023 Office of the Secretary of Defense Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program Symposium in Arlington, Virginia, within the “Sustainable Materials Recovery Technologies” session. The first five briefs summarized research in mineral extraction from waste streams, while the final brief outlined progress toward 3D printing of waste thermoplastics at the point of need. Presentations were provided by the Government, private industry, and academia with the intent to summarize state-of-the-art research and the art of the possible in this area.
