Environmental catastrophe…..?
 3 billion tonne of waste in EU every year
 8-9 million valuable end-of-life vehicle waste every year
 WEEE waste production increasing at 3-5% every year


Considerable environmental and health risk if treated inadequately
Recycling offers substantial opportunities in terms of making secondary raw materials
available on the market
 Top of the list waste management priorities of EU

Other side of the picture...
 Resource demand and supply
 Enormous population growth with increasing prosperity of
the people in developing economies
 The linear consumption model of today's ‘take-makedispose’ economy with all efforts for improvements in
“resource efficiency” is not responding duly
 Scarcity and Price Volatility

Opportunities and challenges
Manufacturers can:
 Generate new value
By focusing on four broad
areas:
 Product design
 Minimize costs
 Production
 Increase operational
stability
 Value recovery

New manufacturing paradigm- ResCoM
Resource Conservative Manufacturing:
 Is a new manufacturing paradigm in which our industrial
product systems are restorative by design
 Restoration mechanism is designed through:
 Product reuse
 Product recycling
 Component recycling
 Material recycling

ResCoM lifecycle management challenges
Multiple lifecycle products:
 Product data management for multiple lifecycles
 Lifecycle information acquisition, analysis, use and management
 Connecting the stake holders:
 Manufacturing enterprise
 Supply chain
 Users
 Society
 Economic and environmental analysis of product lifecycles

ResCoM: Major objectives
ResCoM framework: methodologies for implementing
closed-loop product systems taking into account the
interactions between product design, supply chains, business
models and technology (Manufacturing & Re-manufacturing)
ResCoM software platform: collaborative decision-making
platform based on product lifecycle management and
material information management software modules
implementing the ResCoM framework (closed-loop product
taxonomy)

ResCoM: Major objectives
ResCoM industrial pilots: 4 pilots using the ResCoM
framework and the ResCoM tools to implement closed loop
product systems in various industries (white goods, consumer
electronics, automobile parts and baby strollers)
ResCoM best practices: lessons learned from the 4 pilots,
providing generic guidelines for adapting the ResCoM
framework to other industries
ResCoM community: a vibrant community of OEMs, design
firms, reverse logistics suppliers and third-party remanufacturers
focusing on closed-loop product systems, supported by public
authorities.
