REmanufacturing is one of the most important industries for the Circular Economy.
A LITTLE OVER A MONTH TO PLAN!
How to keep within planetary boundaries.

Remanufacturing is getting more organized:
Remanufacturing Definition and the Reman Standard:
a comprehensive and rigorous industrial process by which a previously sold, leased, used, worn or non-functional product or part is returned to a “like-new” or “better-than-new” condition, from both a quality and performance perspective, through a controlled, reproducible and sustainable process
Remanufacturing is getting more organized:
Reman in the marketplace
Use the symbol, below, along with the label, to mark your remanufactured products and spread the image of REMAN.
The revised reman standard, published in 2021, introduced a mark that companies can use to identify that their process complies with RIC001.2-2021: Specifications for the Process of Remanufacturing.
Look for this symbol (below), along with the label, identifying products that are remanufactured using a certified remanufacturing process.
Remanufactured by ABC Company, Inc.
(any company with Remanufacturing services in compliance with and)
in conformance with ANSI/RIC001.2-2021

A Slide Deck:
Remanufacturing: a Journey from American to International Standard
Remanufacturing Industries Council (RIC) took the first step in the standardization effort with an ANSI standard for remanufacturing that was published in 2017. The published ANSI standard has since been well received across industries and an effort to globalize the standards effort is underway.
What’s Next?
Now that the 2021 revision has been published, RIC’s Trade & Policy Committee is discussing the next steps, including the possibility of an international remanufacturing standard.
This: slide deck starts with a discussion of the ANSI standard that has been completed, what worked, lessons learned and in 2021 was further revised. Then starting at slide 12 it dives into how RIC is working to develop a global standard for remanufacturing, including challenges and opportunities. This is slide 17:

Recover all the material we can
and keep it out of the Junk Yard.
There is a lot that can be REmanufactured!
Remanufacturing is Blue Companies, Indirect Circular Sector
Green type Companies, Direct Circular Sector.
| CIRCULAR JOB | ECONOMIC SECTOR | CIRCULAR ECONOMY ELEMENTS | EXAMPLE SECTORS AND ACTIVITIES |
|---|---|---|---|
| DIRECT CIRCULAR JOBS | Dedicated Circular SECTOR started Green | >Renewables >Use Waste as a Resource >Prioritise Regenerative Resources | >Start-ups in every industry >New Industries! >Recycling >Renewable Energy >Clean Transportation >Sustainable Food |
| DIRECT and INDIRECTLY CIRCULAR JOBS | ENABLING Circular SECTOR moved to Green | >Close Life Cycle Design >Rethink to Sustainable Business Model >Team up to Create Joint Value >eco Supply Chains | >Industrial, Product Design &Architecture >Rethink Production >Renting or Leasing |
| INDIRECTLY CIRCULAR JOBS | INDIRECTLY Circular SECTOR have green divisions | Business as usual, but with the following: >Sustain & Preserve what’s Already made >Assess Life Cycle >Use Waste as a Resource >Switch to sustainable business model | >Remanufacture >sell / recycle unusable waste >Renting or Leasing |

Here is a series of posts about Africa and one of the business areas that I believe Africa could take on in a big way: Remanufacturing, to re-use all the old imported products on the continent:
Africa – Please Stay Harmonised with planet Earth.
Africa for Small Businesses – Opportunities, Opportunities!
ReManufacture, Reman, ReNewed
ReManufacturing Win-Win for Africa
