Economic growth and rising levels of consumption in developing and
developed countries has been observed as being deeply coupled with
natural resource usage and material consumption. The increasing
need for natural resources has raised concerns regarding issues
such as resource scarcity, undesirable environmental impacts due to
material extraction, primary production, and suboptimal product
disposal, and social or political tensions. Product End-of-Life
(EoL) options, such as reusing or recycling, attempt to limit or
reduce the amount of waste sent to a landfill, providing strategic
means to decouple the link between economic growth and resource
usage. These EoL options have the potential to close material
loops, further utilizing wastes as resources, reducing
environmental impacts, conserving natural resources, reducing
material prices, and providing job opportunities in developing
countries. Remanufacturing, on the other hand, is a unique EoL
option due to increasing the number of life cycles of a product
before final disposal. First, recurring environmental benefits,
such as emission and raw material extraction avoidance are obtained
with each additional product life cycle. Second, individual
resource efficiency yields increase through product remanufacture.
Resource efficiency or, using more with less will continue to
compound with each additional life cycle. Third, recirculating
products decreases the demand and dependency for primary resource
production, further closing the material loop and creating a more
circular economy. In addition, remanufacturing can initiate more
preferable EoL options such as recovery, recycling, and waste
reduction. While remanufacturing offers numerous benefits, there is
significant lack of literature and books covering the fundamentals
of operations, technologies and business models. The proposed book
will provide in-depth coverage of remanufacturing fundamentals and
its strong link to circular economy and resource efficiency.
