| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, Remanufacturing is a comprehensive and rigorous | ||||||
3 | industrial process by which a previously sold, leased, used, | ||||||
4 | worn, remanufactured, or non-functional product or part is | ||||||
5 | returned to a like-new, same-as-when-new, or | ||||||
6 | better-than-when-new condition, from both a quality and | ||||||
7 | performance perspective, through a controlled, reproducible, | ||||||
8 | and sustainable process; and

9 | WHEREAS, A 2012 U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) | ||||||
10 | report found that remanufacturers support at least 180,000 | ||||||

12 | that production of remanufactured goods in the U.S. increased | ||||||

14 | annually; and
| ||||||
15 | WHEREAS, Remanufacturing has been recognized by leading | ||||||
16 | universities, research institutions, and manufacturers in the | ||||||

| ||||||
19 | WHEREAS, By encouraging businesses, state agencies, | ||||||
20 | nonprofit organizations, schools, and individuals to celebrate | ||||||
21 | Reman Day 2023, we can further promote remanufacturing as | ||||||
