                               RESOLUTION


 
      Expressing support for the designation of April 8, 2021, as 
                        ``Remanufacturing Day''.

Whereas remanufacturing is a comprehensive and rigorous industrial process by 
        which a previously sold, leased, used, worn, or nonfunctional product or 
        part is returned to a ``like-new'' or ``better-than-new'' condition, 
        from both a quality and performance perspective, through a controlled, 
        reproducible, and sustainable process;
Whereas a 2012 United States International Trade Commission report found that 
        remanufacturers support at least 180,000 full-time jobs in the United 
        States, and further states that production of remanufactured goods in 
        the United States increased by 15 percent from 2009 to 2011 and exports 
        totaled $11.2 billion annually;
Whereas remanufacturing has been recognized by leading universities, research 
        institutions, and manufacturers in the United States as good for the 
        environment for its ability to divert end-of-life products from 
        landfills;
Whereas by encouraging businesses, State agencies, nonprofit organizations, 
        schools, and individuals to celebrate Remanufacturing Day 2021, we can 
        further promote remanufacturing as environmentally friendly and 
        economically smart; and
Whereas to focus the Nation's attention on the benefits of remanufacturing, 
        businesses, educational institutions, and nonprofit organizations have 
        joined together to celebrate Remanufacturing Day and are encouraging 
        their colleagues, friends, families, and communities to learn more about 
        the benefits of remanufactured products: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the 
designation of ``Remanufacturing Day''.
