My point if view says that, a remanufacturated is that material or product not used by a final-consumer, i.e. exhibition products, material recuperated in the factory, etc. By other hand, recicled product or material, are those that was used by a final consumer, and are disposed and recuperated for recycling porpuses.

I totally agree with the answer of Alberto.
re-manufacturing means when the product comes back to the factory because there is something wrong with it, therefore the problem with the product is fixed in the factory and later, it can be sold again. Recycling means that after used the product can be used again in a similar or different application.
According to my opinion, re-manufacturing is utilizing materials without processing. One the other hand if materials is processed from its original state and then used, we can say it is recycled.
Recycling is a broader term, mean bring materials back into loop. It could involve processing.
Agreeing with Alberto...
In context of plastic industry, if the molded product shows warp and shrinkage or any physical anomalies, the material is reprocessed and remolded.. this can be called as re-manufacturing. Recycling implies post consumer reuse.
