Bill > HR764

This resolution recognizes April 24, 2025, as Reman Day, an initiative by the Remanufacturing Industries Council designed to highlight the environmental and economic benefits of remanufacturing. Remanufacturing is a comprehensive industrial process that transforms used, worn, or nonfunctional products into "like new" or "better than new" condition, effectively diverting end-of-life goods from landfills. The resolution notes that a 2012 U.S. International Trade Commission report found remanufacturing supported at least 180,000 full-time jobs in the United States in 2011, with production of remanufactured goods increasing by approximately 15 percent from 2009 to 2011 and exports totaling $11.7 billion that year. The Texas House of Representatives specifically emphasizes remanufacturing's importance to the state's economic prosperity and encourages all citizens to learn more about the benefits of this innovative industrial process.
