Book excerpt: Once a product reaches its end of life (E.O.L), some or all of its parts may be still in proper working condition. The durable parts may be used in a next generation of the product to recover some of the embodied energy and materials of the E.O.L product and help saving the natural resources and reducing the waste toward a greener environment. Among different end of life options, we considered "remanufacturing" and developed a modeling framework for its cost benefit analysis. Our modeling framework focuses on the profitability of remanufacturing as it is a key motivating factor for remanufacturing the used product.
