The ReMake Value Retention Centre (the RVRC) is a £10.2 million UKRI-backed programme designed to scale circular economy innovation in high-integrity sectors such as energy, aerospace, transport and manufacturing.
Led by NMIS and the University of Strathclyde in partnership with the Universities of Exeter and Sheffield, the RVRC is creating the knowledge, capability and infrastructure to remanufacture, repair, reuse and redesign high-value components across industry.
Our mission is to retain the value of materials and products for as long as possible - reducing carbon, increasing resilience, and creating new commercial opportunities across the UK.
The RVRC was launched in response to the urgent need to cut emissions from the products we make and use, which account for 45% of global CO₂ emissions. Less than 2% of those products currently undergo value retention processes. This must change. The RVRC is here to help lead that transition.
