Abstract

The substantial growth in industrial production, demand for materials and population has led to an increasing need for sustainable manufacturing process to mitigate the negative impact on the environment and meet the needs of future generations. One proposed direction is remanufacturing. It utilizes the energy and inherent value retained in products upon reaching end-of -life. It can close the loop between disposal and supply chains, extend the service lifetime of products, conserve resources and helps to mitigate the environmental impacts. By preserving the geometrical architecture of cores, remanufacturing can reduce the needs for raw material processing and many manufacturing process, hence there are associated social and economical benefits.
