Singapore sets up Asia's first industrial re-manufacturing R&D centre By Channel NewsAsia, 31 May 2012. Singapore has set up Asia's first centre to drive value-added re-manufacturing activities that can be readily adopted by industry. The Advanced Remanufacturing & Technology Centre (ARTC) will look into research and development (R&D) to develop technologies for re-manufacturing. These technologies will enable companies and businesses to translate end-of-life products into "good as new" ones for the market through a sustainable process. It also aims to cut cost and materials, and even generate higher profits.
