Moving towards restorative models of production and consumption presents industry with opportunities to capture more value from products and materials, mitigate the risks of price volatility and material supply, establish more economic resilience, and decouple growth from the increasing demand on finite resources.
The ResCoM (Resource Conservative Manufacturing) project has been set up to help manufacturers capture those opportunities by collecting, remanufacturing and reusing products. The project is co-funded by the European Commission and carried out by a consortium of twelve organisations across research, industry and technology.
