CATALYSE REMANUFACTURING THROUGH DESIGN BOOTCAMP
CARED PROJECT
Industrial bootcamps on design and operations for remanufacturing
Learn how your business can benefit from and implement remanufacturing processes
WHAT IS REMANUFACTURING?
Primarily, remanufacturing is profitable sustainable business. By definition it is: "Remanufacturing is the process of recovering, disassembling, repairing and sanitising components for resale at “new product” performance, quality and specifications. By remanufacturing products, components or parts, a company contributes to the circular economy by extending the lifetime of those elements and creating value"

ABOUT CARED
The Catalyse Remanufacturing through Design (CARED) bootcamp aims to support a company and a supply-chains in their transition to a Circular Economy. It does so by providing expert multi-disciplinary knowledge on remanufacturing activities, business models, supply-chain organisation mechanisms and customer engagement. Bootcamps are organised on demand for interested companies.
Remanufacturing is a key strategic priority in the European sustainable industry agenda. It can improve the business and financial case of manufacturing companies, by lowering production costs and exploiting secondary resource streams for their products. It also reinforces European resource security, by maintaining valuable products and resources within closed local loops. Remanufacturing also has environmental benefits by reducing environmental impacts, such as CO2 emissions and the use of natural resources.
Areas of focus
Together with our industry participants we explore innovation opportunities on:
Circular Business Models
Designing and implementing a Circular Business Model based on: Environmental sustainability, production cost reduction, durability and reliability, servicing and maintenance.
Company operations and logistics
Identifying, understanding, and facing the challenges in setting up a reverse logistics chain and remanufacturing processes. Focusing on scalability and strategic partnerships.
Value-chain organisation
Responding to the increasing demand for supply-chain integration and producer responsibility. Building a competitive business advantage based on enhanced services and customer trust.
BOOTCAMPS
Industrial bootcamps on design and operations for remanufacturing
Learn how your business can benefit from and implement remanufacturing processes
The CARED bootcamps support enterprises wishing to engage in remanufacturing activities. Whether you wish to learn more about the potential of remanufacturing, kickstart "reman" activities, or streamline and upscale existing "reman" processes, the CARED bootcamps provide theoretical and practical support and examples for your company and value-chain.
