MEMA participated in a workshop on remanufacturing held during the 2011 Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting on September 16. 

The APEC economies have worked for many years to address trade barriers impacting remanufactured products, and MEMA joined other industry leaders in discussing the importance of remanufacturing and the environmental and economic benefits of a vibrant remanufacturing industry.  APEC countries were particularly interested in defining remanufacturing and creating distinctions between remanufacturing, rebuilding, and refurbishing.

MERA President John Chalifoux will participate in an exhibit of remanufactured products to be held on September 23.

Expect more postings on remanufacturing after the conclusion of the first-ever MERA Remanufacturing Legislative Summit on September 20-21 in Washington, D.C.
