Abstract
In this paper we evaluate the energy and economic consequences of appliance remanufacturing relative to purchasing new. The appliances presented in this report constitute major residential appliances: refrigerator, dishwasher, and clothes washer. The results show that, despite savings achieved in production, appliance remanufacturing is a net energy-expending end-of-life alternative. Moreover, we find that economic incentives can be an influential driver for consumers to remanufacture and re-use old appliances.
