Fundamentals of ReMake
Course Summary
Explore the fundamental concepts behind ReMake; a term that covers value retention processes in manufacturing — repair, reuse, refurbish, and remanufacture. In an era where Scotland leads the charge toward net zero emissions by 2045, manufacturers have a pivotal role to play. and the early adopters have the greatest chance to benefit from innovation. With 45% of global emissions linked to manufacturing, the need to change is clear, and value retention techniques are key in reducing carbon emissions in the manufacturing sector, that at the same time encourage business growth.
This course covers the techniques that can be performed on a product at its typical end of life phase. The tools for value retention include reuse, repair, refurbishment, and remanufacturing. This course gives an overview of ReMake Glasgow project, its foundation in circular economy principles, and an overview of value retention techniques with a focus on remanufacturing.

The fundamnetals of ReMake course is made up of the following topics:
- Defining the ReMake processes
- Understanding the circular economy
- Environmental, economic, and operational benefits
- Remanufacturing business models
- Challenges to adoption and emerging trends
Periodic knowledge checks are conducted throughout this course.
During this course, participants will:
- Understand the principles behind ReMake: value retention techniques including reuse, repair, refurbishment, and remanufacture, and their place within the circular economy.
- Understand the role of remake techniques in the circular economy and their importance to achieving Scotland’s net zero goals.
- Identify core processes in remanufacturing, including inspection, disassembly, cleaning, remediation, reassembly, and testing.
- Identify benefits and overcome barriers: evaluate environmental, social, and business advantages, while addressing challenges to implementation.
- Recognise key benefits and challenges of remanufacturing in manufacturing sectors.
- Develop awareness of policy and certifications relevant to techniques, and industry innovations.
- Develop practical insights for industry application: apply ReMake principles to enhance manufacturing processes and align with sustainability goals.
This course has been designed for time-scarce professionals across all career stages in the manufacturing supply chain, who want to better engage in conversations around value retention.
Job roles that would benefit most include early-career engineers, engineers and manufacturing professionals looking for targeted upskilling, and sustainability practitioners.
The course is designed as a precursor to a series of live events to be held in February – March of 2025. The first of which is called ReMake 1: Maximise resources through remanufacturing, repair and refurbishment - learn practical strategies to increase efficiency and profitability by extending product life. Deep dive into techniques that transform waste into opportunity.
A certificate of completion will be provided at the end of this course.
This course has been developed by NMIS.
