Report Highlights Potential for Refrigeration Remanufacturing
Better Environmental Option Than Either Sending Products to Landfill or Disassembling for Recycling
A United Kingdom report from an influential cross-party group of members of parliament (MPs) has highlighted the potential for remanufacturing as a way to reduce both costs and carbon, with refrigerated display cases selected as a key area for improvement.
Remanufacturing — defined as “a series of manufacturing steps acting on an end-of-life part or product in order to return it to like-new or better performance, with warranty to match” — will offer a much better environmental option than either sending products to landfill or disassembling for recycling, the MPs say.
