Abstract

Remanufacturing technology is a new green manufacturing technology that restores the geometric dimensions or comprehensive performance of damaged parts. Regarding remanufacturing technology, this article specifically elaborates on the concept, connotation, and advantages of remanufacturing, product remanufacturability, remanufacturing technology, and the impact of remanufacturing on the economy, and reviews and summarizes the main research situation at home and abroad. It also introduces the types of remanufacturing processes and their practical applications in various industries, and puts forward suggestions for the development of remanufacturing technology.

Keywords
