India readies for talks with EU on refurbished items

Remanufactured goods are those which have undergone transformation through recovery processes such as cleaning and testing to meet the same specifications as a new good. People privy to the development said there is also a view that import of plastic waste should be discouraged as India already has enough plastic that can be recycled.
