“…Challenging materials, increased product complexity, unsuitability for remanufacturing [3,4,6,10,11,18] Material collection, reverse logistics, lead time and core management [8,10,19] Uncertain and varying quality of the returned cores [8,10,19] Shortage of skilled workforce and lack of remanufacturing-specific tools and techniques [4,8,18] Additional resources and costs of remanufacturing [4,8,18] Lack of stable demand [3,18] Unpredictability and low reliability of capacity planning [1,19] Lack of clear legal definitions and standards [10,18] Legislation, such as restrictions on importing cores and remanufactured goods, and environmental legislation [10,18] Marketing of remanufactured products and finding markets (increasing prosperity, throwaway culture, customer demand for newness, valuing newness more than quality, and technological advances of new products) [5,18,19] Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) restrictions [18,20] Pricing models [8] Many authors [4,9,11] recognised, especially regarding the vehicle industry, that while the manufacturers aim to reduce the weights of the vehicles by using material mixtures such as carbon fibre-reinforced plastics, the vehicles become less recyclable, and the EoL operations become more expensive over the years. Saidani et al [4] mention some challenges related to new technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), which connects devices with a large number of electrical components, or hybrid vehicles with lithiumion ba...…”
