“…Kerr et al [6] quantified eco-efficiency in remanufacturing through specific cases. Several researchers explored the impacts of remanufacturing on resources and the environment through different models [5,26,27]. Golinska and Kuebler [28] assessed the sustainability and maturity of remanufacturing enterprises from economic, environmental, and social dimensions.…”

“…Waste emissions, waste disposal and the eventual compliance rate of waste discharge can be used to determine whether the main factor affecting environmental performance is emissions or processing capacity [40]. Impacts of remanufacturing on resources are mainly reflected in two aspects: one is resource recycling brought by remanufacturing end-of-life products, the other is resource conservation and resource efficiency during remanufacturing processes [15,23,27,28,[38][39][40]. Therefore, indicators of emission reduction, compliance rates of waste discharge, the recycle and reuse rate of end-of-life products, resource conservation and resource efficiency are chosen as a representation of economic performance.…”

“…They adopt advanced technology to enhance the recovery and reuse ratio of cores, and exploit clean materials to realize the clean production during remanufacturing processes, while taking account of the environmental benefits while in pursuit of economic interests [9]. In addition, the perception and recognition of remanufacturing also actuate OEMs to design for remanufacturing and share their information to help other remanufacturers to implement remanufacturing businesses [27]. With respect to consumers, on one hand, as owners of cores, recycling consciousness motivates them to actively scrap end-of-life products, improving the recovery rate of these products; on the other hand, recognition of remanufactured products pushes consumers to make purchasing decisions, so the value of remanufactured products can be realized.…”

“…OEMs information sharing: Du et al [27] emphasized the importance of OEMs in remanufacturing practices. Information sharing promotes OEMs to design for remanufacturing, decreasing impacts on environment in the design phase; Besides, it helps remanufacturers choose appropriate techniques to remanufacture end-of-life products and make a reasonable decision on the disposal of these products.…”

Remanufacturing can bring considerable economic and environmental benefits such as cost saving, conservation of energy and resources, and reduction of emissions. With the increasing awareness of sustainable manufacturing, remanufacturing gradually becomes the research priority. Most studies concentrate on the analysis of influencing factors, or the evaluation of the economic and environmental performance in remanufacturing, while little effort has been devoted to investigating the critical factors influencing the eco-efficiency of remanufacturing. Considering the current development of the remanufacturing industry in China, this paper proposes a set of factors influencing the eco-efficiency of remanufacturing and then utilizes a fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method to establish relation matrixes reflecting the interdependent relationships among these factors. Finally, the contributions of each factor to eco-efficiency and mutual influence values among them are obtained, and critical factors in eco-efficiency of remanufacturing are identified. The results of the present work can provide theoretical supports for the government to make appropriate policies to improve the eco-efficiency of remanufacturing.

Waste tires contain a large amount of embodied energy and useful materials that can be recovered. In an existing remanufacturing process, the waste tire components are separated, thermomechanical devulcanization is used to restore the formability of the waste rubber for recycling, and waste rubber powder is mixed with chemical agents and subjected to hot rolling and extrusion to form rubber sheet products. Here, the quadruple‐bottom‐line sustainability of this remanufacturing process was studied for the first time based on the global availability of waste tires, and four technical alternatives based on different levels of automation and order of the processing steps were evaluated. The numbers of each machine for separating the tire components and processing the rubber were optimized. Quantitative sustainability analysis was conducted to calculate the sustainability index (SI) of four remanufacturing alternatives based on the technological feasibility of each processing step. Furthermore, a quantitative–qualitative sustainability assessment was performed to weight a criteria performance matrix of the technical alternatives qualitatively to overcome the lack of experience in the field. Waste‐tire remanufacturing has final SI values of ∼0.69–0.79, which exceed literature threshold values, indicating that it is a sustainable business strategy.
