“…The literature has commenced, with Beverungen et al (2016) and Bauer et al (2016) already proposing some characteristics of repurposed products and repurposing production systems. The repurposed system has to be durable and reliable, which means that few instances of breaking should happen during its lifetime, while its performance should be possible to predict.…”

Sustainable manufacturing is a rising issue. Ensuring both consumer satisfaction and minimal environmental impact is very challenging. In that whole process, it is customary to say that the design stage determines 80 % of the future environmental impact. One way to contain this impact at an acceptable level is to manage the products' end-of-life from the design activities. This chapter points out product reuse strategies-i.e. direct reuse and remanufacturing-aiming at conserving the added-value of used products as much as possible into new products. The first contribution attempts to provide a state-of-the-art of design for these high added-value end-of-life strategies. Direct reuse and remanufacturing are thus analysed and the principal design guidelines are furthermore given, classified according to three dimensions: product, process and business model. This chapter then contributes to enlarging the spectrum of reuse strategies, presenting an innovative end-of-life strategy: repurposing. It consists of reusing products in other applications after transformations. The main challenges of such a strategy will be discussed.

The diffusion of electric vehicles suffers from immature and expensive battery technologies. Repurposing electric vehicle batteries for second-life application scenarios may lower the vehicles' total costs of ownership and increases their ecologic sustainability. However, identifying the best-or even a feasible-scenario for which to repurpose a battery is a complex and unresolved decision problem. In this exaptation research, we set out to design, implement, and evaluate the first decision support system that aids decision-makers in the automobile industry with repurposing electric vehicle batteries. The exaptation is done by classifying decisions on repurposing products as bipartite matching problems and designing two binary integer linear programs that identify (a) all technical feasible assignments and (b) optimal assignments of products and scenarios. Based on an empirical study and expert interviews, we parameterize both binary integer linear programs for repurposing electric vehicle batteries. In a field experiment, we show that our decision support system considerably increases the decision quality in terms of hit rate, miss rate, precision, fallout, and accuracy. While practitioners can use the implemented decision support system when repurposing electric vehicle batteries, other researchers can build on our results to design decision support systems for repurposing further products.

“…Yet there are also remanufacturing processes that cannot give back the initial performances to the product. It is clearly the case today for batteries of electric vehicles that cannot be remanufactured for the simple reason that the technology is unable to recover the initial performance at a reasonable cost (Beverungen et al 2016). The question of what to do with the stock of such batteries is an open issue.…”

“…He identified the business model elements (the economic viability; legal requirements) that enable the repurposing of a company to manage reverse logistics for core supply, to rely on partnerships, and assessed the effective quantity of batteries for repurposing into stationary applications as well as the properties at the end-of-use. Beverungen et al (2016) identified and validated with experts the functional and non-functional requirements for repurposed batteries from EV to stationary applications. Based on a battery expert interview and literature (Ahmadi et al 2014;Bauer et al 2016;Beverungen et al 2016), the repurposing process seems to include the same steps as reuse strategies: inspection and sorting, cleaning, dis-/re-assembly, storage, repurposing operations and testing.…”
