H.R. No. 764 is a resolution recognizing April 24, 2025, as Reman Day in Texas, an initiative led by the Remanufacturing Industries Council. The resolution emphasizes the environmental and economic advantages of remanufacturing, which involves restoring used or nonfunctional products to a "like new" condition. This process not only diverts end-of-life goods from landfills but also has been acknowledged by various institutions for its positive environmental impact. The resolution cites a 2012 U.S. International Trade Commission report indicating that remanufacturing supported approximately 180,000 full-time jobs in the U.S. in 2011 and highlighted a significant increase in the production and export of remanufactured goods.
The resolution further underscores the importance of remanufacturing to the economic prosperity of Texas and aims to promote awareness of its benefits among citizens. By designating a specific day to celebrate remanufacturing, the Texas House of Representatives encourages future generations to continue the tradition of innovation and industry in this field. The resolution was adopted by the House on April 17, 2025, with a vote of 133 in favor and 7 against.
