The meeting participants will also play an important role in developing an agenda and roadmap for a re-launch of the Remanufacturing Industries Council (RIC), and to set initial directions for the Council and identify/prioritize cross-cutting challenges for the Council to address. The RIC provides an umbrella representing the diverse sectors of the ReMan industry.
