Remanufacturing, refurbishing and reuse by Diego and Luca 

Remanufacturing

Remanufacturing is the rebuilding of a product to specifications of the original manufactured product using a combination of reused, repaired and new parts. Remanufacturing is not the same as "recycling" or "repairing".

Some of the most commonly remanufactured product categories are aircraft components and automotive parts.

Refurbishing

Refurbishing, also called renovation of older or damaged equipment to bring it to a workable or better looking condition. We can also call it renovate something, or clean up something.

Reuse

If you reuse something, you use it again or more than once. It’s very common in our population, because a lot of people want to save money and material. You can reuse a lot things without help of special companies, which would charge you a lot of money.

Heating of my home

Which energy do we use?

We use oil heating in our house. It is a non-renewable energy.

How do they work?

Oil heaters produce heat by burning fuel oil. It is one of the most harmful ways to heat. Petroleum is a carbonaceous fuel, the burning of which accelerates climate change. Oil heaters used to be the most popularchoice when building new houses. Today they are no longer installed.
