Track: Sustainable Manufacturing

Abstract

In recent decades, developed countries have raised in the political, economic, social, and cultural sectors. In this context, nations aim to search for the common welfare, security, technological and commercial competitiveness, and sustainable development. We currently live in a globalized world where we seek to generate wealth by transforming resources, which are primarily finite or only renewable under certain conditions. Due to this problem, other production alternatives have been designed, such as remanufacturing, which seeks to extend the life cycle of products through recovery to meet the population's needs. These practices are more common in developed countries where appropriate incentives, technologies, knowledge, and provisions form a contrast with the emerging countries such as Russia, China, India, Mexico, and Brazil, without capacities fully developed. This article aims to identify the variables intervening in the consumer's perception of remanufactured products to understand the impediments or differences generated to adopt a circular economic model based on responsible consumption.
