What is remanufacturing?

A series of manufacturing steps on end-of-life devices, parts and consumables in order to return them to like-new or better performance (with a warranty to match).

Remanufacturing also involves input of knowledge back into the design process to create devices, parts and consumables that ‘designed for environment’.

What are the benefits?

• Product takeback scheme eliminates disposal burden.

• Better quality products in the long-term, knowledge gained in the remanufacturing process is input back into the design process of new product.

Broader benefits:

• Local employment.

• Reduced waste to landfill and demand for new resources.
