China, as a country in rapid development, consumes enormous resources every year. The development of remanufacturing industry will effectively save relevant resources and reduce the consumption of relevant resources.
For example, the number of machine tools in China is about 8 million, and the old and worn machine tools will be eliminated at a rate of 3% every year. There will be 240000 machine tools to be eliminated every year. As a relatively precise processing tool, many parts and materials can be recycled.
Remanufacture is an industry that implements high-tech repair and transformation of waste products. It is aimed at damaged or soon to be scrapped parts. Based on performance failure analysis, life assessment and other analysis, remanufacture engineering design is carried out, and a series of related advanced manufacturing technologies are adopted to make the quality of remanufactured products reach or exceed the new products. This technology is very suitable for China's development needs.
At present, the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has raised the ecological civilization of resource conservation and environmental friendliness to a higher position. The recent executive meeting of the State Council proposed an important task for the development of the "12th Five Year Plan" circular economy. It is necessary to carry out the pilot development of the remanufacturing industry and establish the recycling model of the remanufacturing industry. A series of policy orientation requirements have pointed out the direction for the development of the remanufacturing industry. Under the strong guidance of policies, the remanufacturing industry has ushered in a new stage of development.
The social ownership of various mechanical and electrical products in China is very large, such as 100 million automobiles, more than 8 million machine tools, 200 million internal combustion engines, and 1.5 billion kilowatts of motors. With such a large population, most of them have basic functions, but their performance indicators have declined. Whether these products are remanufactured or scrapped is a big problem related to ecological civilization.
Taking the remanufacturing of machine tools as an example, China is the world's machine tool consumer market. According to the annual machine tool retirement rate of 35%, 240000 machine tools enter the ranks of remanufacturing every year, accounting for about half of the annual production of new machine tools. Heavy and super heavy machine tools are estimated to account for 2% of the total number of machine tools, and about 4000 heavy and super heavy machine tools enter the ranks of remanufacturing every year. According to statistics, 60% of the existing heavy and super heavy machine tools in China will face technology or function obsolescence. During the "Twelfth Five Year Plan" period, more than 50000 sets will enter the remanufacturing market, which needs technical transformation. It can be said that the market potential of the remanufacturing industry is huge.
The remanufacturing industry faces new development environment and opportunities. Serious overcapacity has emerged in many industries in China, and the new product market is declining significantly. However, the use of waste mechanical and electrical products for processing, development and remanufacturing has just become an important mode to resist the risk of economic downturn and open up new consumer markets. Because the remanufacturing of electromechanical products has typical energy-saving, material saving and environmental protection effects, and is competitive in price. The price of remanufactured products is more than 30% lower than that of new products of the same type, and the profit of remanufactured enterprises is generally no less than 30%, so this is a very profitable market.
In this way, the production cost of the product can be reduced and the high quality level can be achieved with the cost lower than the market. In China, those who are used to fighting price wars to occupy the market further improve their product competitiveness, which provides a solid foundation for China's future sustainable development.
