As environmental impact and environmental emissions are an important part of today's society, due to climate change, high demands are placed on material selection, how the product is recycled and how the product is remanufactured. Remanufacturing is by definition to manufacture an old product into a new product Remanufacturing is an important process to get a sustainable life in the industries, this is because of the increased consumption of products and technique that are thrown away near the products end-of-life. Remanufacturing is a process applied to a product or a part near its end-of-life to transform a used product to a like-new product. At present, remanufacturing is a process that is not used as much in the marine world as other transportation industries, such as automotive and rail. At present, the remanufacturing process is only applying on smaller structures such as engines, propeller shafts, compressors and pumps. This project work aimed to investigate the effects of implementing remanufacturing into Onmar products. In order to study how remanufacturing affects a company, an analysis was carried out on the company's Rail actuator to study the effects of implementing remanufacturing into the product. Since there are high demands on how the product is designed, an analysis was carried out on how the rail actuator was designed to meet the criteria set. This resulted in two different covers being produced in order to meet the requirements needed to carry out remanufacturing on the product. By implementing remanufacturing on the rail actuator resulted in large savings on energy consumption, material recycling, manufacturing costs, raw materials and carbon dioxide emissions when manufacturing new material.
