Remanufacturing Components, Reimagining The Economy
June 14, 2019
There are clear and measurable benefits to remanufacturing, so why does it appear to be a practice stuck in a niche? Our guest in this show will tell us that remanufacturing has the potential to triple in size by 2050, and how it can allow us to make better design, material and energy choices in the future. Judging an economy’s success via conventional economic growth is an idea that has long been criticised, but no alternative approach has gained enough widespread appeal. Our guest in this live show will argue that we should stop trying to enlarge the economy, and try to _make ourselves at home with this wealth_ we have created instead. What would that look like, how would we implement it, how do we make sure that everyone is included this time and perhaps more importantly, how do we convince policymakers?
