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
