Summary
Remanufacturing (reman), involves bringing products that have reached the end of a useful lifecycle to a “like new” or “better than new” condition through a controlled, reproducible, and sustainable industrial process.
It is a fundamentally circular industry and can result in cost savings, material savings, waste reduction, resource efficiency, climate change mitigation, and local job creation. This webinar covers:
- The Circular Economy potential in India
- What remanufacturing is (and isn’t) and how it fits into the Circular Economy
- The current state of traditional manufacturing and remanufacturing in India
- Perspective on established remanufacturing markets – the US, Europe, and China
