Researchers

Remanufacturers perform the ultimate form of circular economy since decades. By giving additional life to used products at equivalent-to-new warranty and quality, remanufactures provide 
contemporary solutions to a demanding market. 

Cores are the lifeblood of remanufacturing and the essential resource for production. Core dealers are an essential part of the remanufacturing supply chain and bring together demand and supply.

Wholesalers are the customers of remanufacturers and make sure that produced items are transferred to the final users. Same applies vice versa because the reverse supply chain is crucial for remanufacturing.

Suppliers to remanufacturers provide products, spare parts, (specialized) equipment and expertise to make the remanufacturing production process actually happen. 

Universities and research institutes work at the spearhead of knowledge generation. Researchers create forward looking approaches and solutions for remanufacturing, track technology shifts and screen market developments.

Circular Economy

Automotive Remanufacturing is
the ultimate form of circular economy.

POSITIVE IMPACTS of Remanufacturing

Remanufacturing is the most sustainable business model because it comes with a number of positive impacts on all dimensions of sustainability.

Environment

Remanufacturing saves
millions of tons of CO2 equivalent emissions,
85% of raw materials,
55% of energy 
compared with new production.

Economy

Remanufactured parts offer best value for money with comparable quality and equivalent functions as new parts.

Employment

Remanufacturing offers much more jobs than the respective new parts production as it is more labor-intensive.

Safety

Remanufactured parts come with full warranty and product liability because they fulfill equivalent functions as new parts.

We contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Remanufacturing is fully in line with the
United Nations Sustainability 
Development Goals, in particular with number 8, 9, 12 and 13.

We are a
non-profit association
