ASSESSING REMANUFACTURING IN LCA

HOW TO ASSESS REMANUFACTURING IN A LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS
Guidance document from the World Steel Association

The World Steel Association has published a detailed guidance document on the choice of method to account for remanufacturing in a life cycle assessment. It includes a Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) database of steel products, which is intended for use in life cycle assessment (LCA) studies involving steel products.

This document provides guidance for modelling aspects of reuse and remanufacture within the context of the life cycle of a product that uses steel. Whilst some specific approaches are recommended, based on the type of study being undertaken, this document is only advisory and other alternative methods are valid depending on the goals and scope of the LCA study.

This work has involved two years of research and analysis led by Head of Sustainability Clare Broadbent and drawn on the expertise of the worldsteel LCA specialists..

DEFINING A REMANUFACTURING BUSINESS MODEL

REMANET.ORG
Developed by the Berlin University of Technology (TU Berlin)

The purpose of the site is to provide information on what Remanufacturing is, the difficulties encountered during the development of activities, the main legislations and concrete examples of companies. Guides and standard documents are provided to assist you in creating your own Remanufacturing business model.
The guides and model documents have been produced to help you create a new Remanufacturing Business Model or optimize an existing Business Model. They are adaptable and can be modified to meet various contexts.

REPRO2 - PROfils de PROduits REmanufacturables

Developed by GSCOP (Grenoble), the REPRO2 tool provides a first approach to the remanufacturability potential of a product.
It gives designers the opportunity to compare the chosen product with different profiles, to know and understand in which areas they need to intensify their efforts in the redesign of the product.

With this tool, 11 remanufacturable product profiles are compared with the chosen product.
