Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

4.1.2 What is remanufacturing?

Course subject(s) Module 4: Remanufacturing

In this video, Anna Karin Jönbrink will give an introduction about what remanufacturing is, and also describes some existing remanufacturing cases from industry.

Now you have learned more about what remanufacturing is, and also seen some examples. The idea is to create products that are in an “as-new” condition.

Also of importance is to keep as much of the value already put into the used product in terms of material, but also energy and labour.

Finally: Don’t forget, when designing new products, your focus should not only be to improve the remanufacturing of today’s products, but to design new products for a better future!
