|---|
| 28 | 28 | | 16 annually; |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | 17 Whereas, Remanufacturing is recognized by leading |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | 18 universities, research institutions, and manufacturers in the |
|---|
| 31 | 31 | | 19 United States to have a positive impact on the environment, as |

|---|
| 35 | 35 | | 3 nonprofit organizations, schools, and individuals to celebrate |
|---|
| 36 | 36 | | 4 Remanufacturing Day, the State of Indiana can further promote |
|---|
