The Center for Remanufacturing and Resource Recovery (C3R) is internationally recognized as a leading center for research in remanufacturing. Since 1991, C3R has worked to develop, test and implement efficient and cost-effective remanufacturing processes while also promoting the design of products that have minimal negative environmental impacts.
The Center conducts research in structural and materials analysis, environmentally responsible cleaning technologies, intelligent testing and diagnosis, and design for remanufacturing.
C3R's leadership derives from broad working experience and knowledge of the unique requirements of the global remanufacturing industry, the in-depth technical expertise of C3R researchers and engineers, state-of-the-art applied R&D facilities, and a proven ability to investigate and deliver solutions that resolve immediate reman issues while advancing the long-term goals of sustainable production.

C3R has been recognized by state and national organizations for its efforts, In honor of its leading research in the field C3R received the 2002 New York State Governor’s Pollution Prevention Award, the 2004 New York State Environmental Excellence Award. In 2006, the center won the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable’s (NPPR) Most Valuable Pollution Prevention (MVP2) award for improving component reuse during the remanufacturing process.
C3R is a research unit of the Golisano Institute for Sustainability (GIS) at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Click here for more information about the remarkable development story of C3R and GIS.
