Features: In the 21st century, China made a major strategic decision to "develop a circular economy and build a resource-saving society," with the core focus on conserving resources and energy. Implementing the "4R" strategy of the circular economy is an effective means to achieve the goal of establishing a resource-saving society. Among the "4R," remanufacturing can significantly enhance the added value of waste resources. Remanufacturing is the industrialization of high-tech repairs for waste products, serving as both an advanced manufacturing method for resource conservation and a green manufacturing method for environmental protection. It has garnered high attention from the Chinese government and widespread concern from society as a whole, while an increasing number of Chinese enterprises are turning their focus to the remanufacturing market. A thriving remanufacturing industry system is quietly emerging in China! Remanufacturing is a process that restores waste products to performance levels comparable to new ones. It can save energy and natural resources, reduce landfill space, and decrease air pollution caused by material remelting in the recycling process. The remanufacturing industry has been in operation for over 60 years, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs and generating substantial tax revenue. This book provides a detailed introduction to this emerging industrial technology, covering topics such as product retirement, remanufacturing processing, reassembly, remanufacturing costs, recycling processes, industrial technology, automotive remanufacturing, and more, making it a valuable reference for industrial professionals.
