Recap Rematec Asia summit 2025 & study tour
On 25 August, the Rematec Asia Summit 2025 brought together leaders, experts, and practitioners from China, Europe, and around the globe for a day full of knowledge-sharing, networking, and cooperation on the future of remanufacturing. The summit welcomed 200 participants in person and attracted 10,000 viewers online. The event reflected a collective conviction: remanufacturing is not only the most cost-efficient and sustainable way of producing, but also a vital pathway to address global challenges of resource scarcity, environmental pressures, and industrial competitiveness.
Key Takeaways from the summit
- Throughout keynote addresses, panel debates, and delegate discussions, participants highlighted six urgent priorities for advancing global cooperation:
- Changing market perception to build greater consumer trust in remanufactured products.
- Harmonizing rules, regulations, and definitions across regions to ensure global alignment.
- Encouraging manufacturers to design products with remanufacturing in mind, emphasizing reusability and standardization.
- Enhancing quality standards for both products and data to improve transparency and trust.
- Strengthening supply chains with better data-sharing platforms and more resilient networks.
- Developing effective core collection systems, where treatment and trading are essential enablers of growth.
Jordan Schlamp, President of BAAN Powertrain, summed up the challenge
“The global remanufacturing supply chain needs renewal; besides building direct relationships and diversified sourcing, it is highly important to improve the quality standards for product and data.”
A delegate from a European-US OEM emphasized the broader impact
“Rematec Asia was not only a business platform, but also a forum that brings together professors, institutes, and industry leaders to drive forward the future of the circular economy—not only for business, but also for protecting the environment.”
Study Tour Highlights
On 26 August, a study tour to Guangzhou’s Huadu District concluded the event, where international delegates witnessed firsthand a thriving remanufacturing ecosystem. With strong government support and active promotion of the circular economy, remanufacturing is positioned as a critical new growth model for the region’s automotive industry.
The summit made one message clear: cross-border collaboration is key to scaling innovation and building a truly circular, resource-efficient future.
