What is remanufacturing?
Remanufacturing is the use of recovered, recycled and reprocessed materials in manufacturing. It offers opportunities to reuse materials which would otherwise end up in landfill.
By using and reusing waste, remanufacturing offers both environmental and business benefits. These include reduced material and energy costs.
Consumers and businesses are increasingly looking to buy sustainably sourced materials products, giving remanufacturing businesses a competitive edge.
