|---|
| 33 | 33 | | universities, research institutions, and manufacturers in |
|---|
| 34 | 34 | | the United States as good for the environment for its |
|---|
| 35 | 35 | | ability to divert end-of-life products from landfills; |

| 36 | 36 | | Whereas, by encouraging businesses, State agencies, non- |

|---|
| 39 | 39 | | further promote remanufacturing as environmentally |

| 42 | 42 | | benefits of remanufacturing, businesses, educational insti- |
|---|
| 43 | 43 | | tutions, and nonprofit organizations have joined together |
