WHEREAS, Reman Day is taking place on April 13, 2023; and | ||
WHEREAS, An initiative of the Remanufacturing Industries | ||
Council, Reman Day highlights the environmental and economic | ||
benefits of remanufacturing; a comprehensive and rigorous | ||
industrial process, remanufacturing transforms used, worn, or | ||
non-functional products and components to "like new" or "better | ||
than new" condition; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through remanufacturing, end-of-life goods, or | ||
items that are no longer considered useful, are diverted from | ||
landfills; the process has been recognized by numerous | ||
universities, research institutions, and manufacturers for its | ||
positive impact on the environment; and | ||
WHEREAS, A 2012 U.S. International Trade Commission report | ||
indicated that remanufacturing activities supported at least | ||
180,000 full-time jobs in the United States in 2011; it | ||
additionally stated that production of remanufactured goods in | ||
the U.S. increased by approximately 15 percent from 2009 to 2011 | ||
and that export of those goods totaled $11.7 billion in 2011; and | ||
WHEREAS, Remanufacturing has long played a vital role in | ||
furthering the economic prosperity of the Lone Star State, and | ||
Reman Day is helping to ensure that future generations of Texans | ||
are equipped to carry on that strong tradition of innovation and | ||
industry; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 88th | ||
Legislature, hereby recognize April 13, 2023, as Reman Day and | ||
encourage all citizens to learn more about the benefits of | ||
remanufacturing. | ||
