Work Programme

Support member companies to promote business development opportunities.

Provide insight and evidence to G20, WBCSD, UNEP, WEF, European Commission, JRC and others in policy making.

Promote public and profit-sector procurement of remanufactured and refurbished products.

Reach out to new audiences beyond those engineers, academics and policy makers already familiar with remanufacturing.

Highlight the intellectual property (IP) issues relating to remanufacturing that need to be resolved (e.g. remanufactured items containing the patented components & brand names of OEMs that have been remanufactured by a third party).

Identify issues of common interest, both amongst corporate members (in camera), and with EU and Member State policy makers (e.g. legislative barriers, standards, green public procurement, tax relief, communication of benefits & barriers, etc.)

Present evidence-based research and the examples offered by member organisations at relevant events.

Maintain relationships with the European research community through the European Remanufacturing Network (ERN) and relevant standards organisations ISO, CEN and national bodies.

Support trade shows that include and promote remanufacturers.
