Abstract
Importance of remanufactured products for protection of environment is well known, especially in the context of sustainable development. Study of key elements &challenges in the remanufacturing sector is essential for successful launching of remanufactured products. Study of the link between product cannibalization and remanufacturing opportunities is also important in the remanufacturing sector. Some important challenges like cost of End-of-Life Product, quality expectation of customers and supply limitation are discussed in this paper. Key elements like Product Acquisition Management, Reverse Logistic Collections, Supply and Demand of remanufactured products play an important role in grabbing the market share. Case studies of a cartridge industry and PC Monitors industry are explained for better understanding of remanufacturing issues and benefits.
