Abstract
In the scientific community and in its existing industry applications remanufacturing has already become recognized as an eco-innovation driver, with potentials on the economic and the ecologic sides as well. It will conquer new disciplines, new product areas and new markets - if public recognition also follows.

This paper presents a global perspective and review of up-to-date remanufacturing networks' activities of various products and industries, their opportunities, challenges and outlooks for decision-making. This reflects the new, comprehensively illustrated book "Remanufacturing", which has recently been publised worldwide in various regional issues and languages (English, German, French, Italian, Japanese).
