RESTORE: Remanufacturing in the European Industry

Thank you for participating in this important survey, conducted as part of the RESTORE project — a Horizon Europe project aimed at developing sustainable, zero-waste remanufacturing solutions.

Remanufacturing is a key enabler of the Circular Economy, yet its integration into existing industrial value chains remains complex. RESTORE is addressing these challenges by developing innovative materials, sustainable processes, and digital tools to transform the implementation of remanufacturing across industries. Read more about RESTORE here.

This survey assesses your and your organisation’s current level of readiness and identifies opportunities and barriers related to remanufacturing. Your insights will help shape the development of targeted support tools and strategies that meet the real needs of European manufacturers.

The survey will take approximately 7-9 minutes to complete. Your responses will remain confidential and will be used solely for research and development within the scope of the RESTORE project.

Thank you for participating!

RESTORE is co-funded by the European Union as part of the call Horizon-CL4-2023-TWIN-TRANSITION-01.
