RIC001.1-2016: Specifications for the Process of Remanufacturing
View more information and download our ANSI Standard here.
"We became involved with RIC last year after learning of the new remanufacturing standard that RIC had created and released through ANSI. The information in the standard led to our attending the first Global Reman Conference in the fall and learning about several new services and technologies that might be applicable to our business. RIC has helped to open the door to these new technologies for us to use in improving and expanding our business."
-Steve Holden, Manager, Special Projects, Carlyle Compressor (Carrier Corporation)

The Impacts of Remanufacturing
Remanufacturing is a comprehensive and rigorous industrial process by which a previously sold, worn, or non-functional product or component is returned to a "like-new" or "better-than-new" condition and warranted in performance level and quality.
Fact #1: Remanufactured goods are virtually indistinguishable from similar new goods
Fact #2: U.S. remanufacturing supports 180,000 full time jobs
Fact #3: The U.S. produces more than $45 billion of remanufactured goods per year
Fact #4: Europe reports estimates that remanufacturing could grow to £75 billion, and up to 500,000 employees by 2030
