- The ReMake Glasgow project is developing a first-of-its-kind national ReMake hub within the NMIS Digital Factory. The hub will provide the skills and technologies needed to support ambitious manufacturers of all sizes to adopt circularity and extend the life of products and parts.
The aim is to achieve a 99% reduction in CO2 compared to manufacturing from new through processes such as remanufacturing, refurbishing and repairs.
With under 2% of products manufactured in the UK currently designed and reused in this way, the ReMake hub is set to advance sustainable manufacturing by supporting companies to move towards a circular economy.
Partners in this project are:
- Boeing UK
- British Airways
- SSE Renewables
- James Howden & Company Ltd
- ATS
- Renewable Parts Ltd - 01-Jan-2023 - 31-Jan-2025
