Why Remanufacture?  Remanufacturing is an economic, reliable way to attain increased performance of a machine at a fraction of the price of new and with today’s greater emphasis on sustainability, a responsible alternative.      

Definition: From Wikipedia:
Remanufacturing: the process of creating like new products using cores or discarded products as the primary raw material. Remanufacturing recovers the residual value added in s core and through the processes of disassembly, cleaning, refurbishing, re-assembly and testing "like new" product at a cost which is typically 40-50% of the new product price. Remanufacturing saves energy - over 80% of the energy required to manufacture the original product is typically contained in the "core". Remanufacturing saves raw materials - over 80% of the original raw materials by weight are contained in the core. Remanufacturing (REM) reduces solid waste. REM is labor intensive with over 40% of the value added in the process typically being labor.
