Abstract

Remanufacturing restores end of life products to almost new. It is a form of sustainability. The research set out to identify the drivers of remanufacturing, which could assist with the transition to a green economy. A questionnaire survey was used to establish the drivers of remanufacturing in Nigeria. Data analysis involving the mean item score revealed the creation of job opportunities, achieving low carbon opportunities, the reduction of greenhouse emissions and achieving a landfill reduction as drivers of remanufacturing. Factor analysis reveals six clusters, in the order of importance, as manufacturers’ attitude towards achieving green economy, policies to drive remanufacturing, benefits of driving remanufacturing, responses to driving remanufacturing, manufacturers’ drive to remanufacturing and economic benefits of remanufacturing as the clusters signifying the classification of remanufacturing drivers in Nigeria. The implication of the findings revealed that the major driver of remanufacturing in Nigeria is the creation of job opportunities, which is vital as Nigeria is presently grappling with a high unemployment rate.
