Whereas remanufacturing is a comprehensive and rigorous industrial process by which a previously sold, leased, used, worn, or nonfunctional product or part is returned to a like-new
or better-than-new
condition, from both a quality and performance perspective, through a controlled, reproducible, and sustainable process; Whereas a 2012 United States International Trade Commission report found that remanufacturers support at least 180,000 full-time jobs in the United States, and further states that production of remanufactured goods in the United States increased by 15 percent from 2009 to 2011 and exports totaled $11.2 billion annually;
Whereas remanufacturing has been recognized by leading universities, research institutions, and manufacturers in the United States as good for the environment for its ability to divert end-of-life products from landfills; Whereas by encouraging businesses, State agencies, nonprofit organizations, schools, and individuals to celebrate Remanufacturing Day 2021, we can further promote remanufacturing as environmentally friendly and economically smart; and
Whereas to focus the Nation’s attention on the benefits of remanufacturing, businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations have joined together to celebrate Remanufacturing Day and are encouraging their colleagues, friends, families, and communities to learn more about the benefits of remanufactured products: Now, therefore, be it That the House of Representatives supports the designation of Remanufacturing Day
