OSTI ID:5774869
It is the thesis of this paper that in some ways, technology appropriate to less developed countries (LDC's) could come from technology of the developed countries (DC's) that is more appropriate for DC's in a future world of resource constraints (materials and energy) and environmental constraints. More specifically, this paper explores the idea of durable products which have been designed with remanufacturability and repairability as more important design criteria than presently appears to exist. The majority of this paper is an overview of contemporary remanufacturing activity, issues, and questions in the U.S.A. from both the private sector and governmental perspective.
