To realize the national goal of economic recovery through a sustainable Canadian economy, innovation across all aspects of carbon-intensive and waste generating industrial processes, including materials production and use, is urgently required. Currently, there is significant growth potential for Canada in the development of a materials circular economy through the advancement of materials technologies and products. Lambton College in partnership with George Brown, St. Clair, and Cegep de Saint Jerome proposes to launch the Canadian Materials and Circular Economy Syndicate (CMCES) with the target of speeding the economic growth and recovery of the Canadian's materials sector. The collaborating institutions have complementary research strengths covering the wide range of material applied research spectrum including Nano-materials, Advanced polymer and composite development, Advanced injection molding, Advanced 3D printing development, Circular Economy product development, Sustainable material production. The overall goal of the CMCES is to create a national advanced materials innovation network dedicated to commercializing value-added technologies in collaboration with Canadian companies. CMCES will support the development of new or the optimization of existing technologies and products that will be in the area of advanced material development and processing as well as industrial technologies that lead to the creation of a materials based circular economy. The circular economy focus will be in the form of recycling, re-use, waste reduction, and finally, chemical and physical re-processing of the materials. The Syndicate will work as a commercialization accelerator for SMEs through collaborative applied research projects. This will be accomplished by developing multi-institutional projects, conducting applied research projects from proof of concept, prototyping, to piloting, to full-scale production processes, providing resources and expertise to SMEs to stimulating economy, providing upskilling and re-skilling for employees, providing commercialization support post-project, and supporting training HQP and the development of new curriculum and courses focused on material subjects at all collaborating colleges.

为了通过可持续的加拿大经济实现经济复苏的国家目标，迫切需要在碳密集型和产生废物的工业流程的各个方面（包括材料生产和使用）进行创新。目前，加拿大通过材料技术和产品的进步，发展材料循环经济具有巨大的增长潜力。兰姆顿学院与 George Brown、St. Clair 和 Cegep de Saint Jerome 合作，提议成立加拿大材料和循环经济联盟 (CMCES)，目标是加速加拿大材料行业的经济增长和复苏。合作机构具有互补的研究优势，涵盖广泛的材料应用研究领域，包括纳米材料、先进聚合物和复合材料开发、先进注塑成型、先进3D打印开发、循环经济产品开发、可持续材料生产。 CMCES的总体目标是创建一个国家先进材料创新网络，致力于与加拿大公司合作将增值技术商业化。 CMCES将支持先进材料开发和加工以及工业技术领域的新技术和产品的开发或现有技术和产品的优化，从而创建基于材料的循环经济。循环经济的重点将是回收、再利用、减少废物，最后是材料的化学和物理再加工。该辛迪加将通过合作应用研究项目，成为中小企业商业化的加速器。这将通过开发多机构项目，开展从概念验证、原型设计、试点到全面生产流程的应用研究项目，为中小企业提供资源和专业知识以刺激经济，为员工提供技能提升和再培训来实现，提供项目后商业化支持，并支持所有合作学院的 HQP 培训以及新课程和侧重于材料学科的课程的开发。
