This study found that restrictions on the trade of cores were a constraint on developing the remanufacturing supply chain. Policymakers must prioritize reduction of
the barriers to the international flow of cores for remanufacturing while preventing
the risks of inappropriate flow of e-wastes that can cause environmental pollution.
The study also found that customers are unaware of remanufactured products and
their value. Overcoming the unfavorable perception through marketing campaign and
education is another priority. Developing credible quality standards or certifications
is effective because it helps in mitigating customers’ perceived risks of remanufactured products. The move toward international standards is effective, and it should
include the perspectives of industry, government, and market stakeholders.
Remanufacturing provides a viable approach to enabling circular economies. It
is important that industries are provided the market opportunities to create a strong
supply chain and value chain in remanufacturing.
For our future research, it is interesting to examine the remanufacturing industry
in ASEAN from historical perspectives. It is generally difficult to follow the process
because precise market data of remanufactured products usually do not exist. This
historical review may provide an insight into the growth of the remanufacturing
market in ASEAN.
