A Remanufacturing Model that Considers Pollution and Integrates Recycled Materials

Abstract

Binbin Li

In the pursuit of sustainable manufacturing practices, remanufacturing has emerged as a promising strategy for reducing environmental impacts and promoting resource efficiency. However, conventional remanufacturing models often overlook the environmental implications associated with pollution-sensitive waste items. This essay presents a pollution-sensitive remanufacturing model that integrates waste items, emphasizing strategies to minimize pollution and enhance sustainability. By considering the lifecycle impacts of waste items and incorporating pollution mitigation measures into remanufacturing processes, this model aims to optimize environmental performance while maximizing economic and social benefits, Pollution-sensitive remanufacturing refers to a holistic approach that considers the environmental sensitivity of waste items throughout the remanufacturing process. Unlike traditional remanufacturing models that focus solely on product quality and cost-effectiveness, pollutionsensitive remanufacturing prioritizes pollution prevention, mitigation, and remediation measures to minimize adverse environmental impacts. This approach recognizes that certain waste items, such as hazardous materials, electronic components, and contaminated products, pose unique challenges and risks that must be addressed to ensure sustainable remanufacturing practices.
