A Systematic Review on Life Extension Strategies in Industry: The Case of Remanufacturing and Refurbishment

Several factors have led to an increase in the focus on sustainable development. In this context, the concept of Circular Economy (CE) has gained tremendous momentum in research and implementation. Fitted into CE’s concept, the Life Extension Strategies (LES) have been popular among industrial pract...
