Remanufacturing for circular flows

In Sweden, we live as if we have four planets at our disposal. However, it is not sustainable, and we need to switch to circular material and product flows. One way is to increase the proportion of remanufactured components and products.

Remanufacturing is about components or products being processed to new condition with the same or improved performance as a newly manufactured product, often with the same warranty as in case of new manufacture. The process usually includes the number of sub-processes, e.g. inspection, disassembly, cleaning, machining, assembly and testing.

At RISE, we work with the issue of circularity and remanufacturing linked to a number of areas and projects. Are you or your company interested in remanufacturing? Feel free to contact us and we can help you:

Investigate the issue of circularity and remanufacturing
Investigate the possibilities for remanufacturing in your processes and assist with guidance
Explore possible business models linked to remanufacturing
Assist in eco-design for remanufacturing
Investigate and quantify the environmental benefits of remanufacturing versus new manufacturing
Test and verify remanufactured product quality and performance with respect to material properties, function, service life and other parameters
