Governor Nikki Haley Cuts Ribbon at Graniteville Celebration

Recleim LLC, a next-generation recycling services provider, celebrated today the grand opening of its flagship recycling center in Graniteville, S.C. Governor Nikki Haley joined Recleim leadership, members of the business community and local dignitaries to cut the ribbon at a newly renovated facility known as Hickman Mill. Recleim expects to hire approximately 200 people by the end of the year.

The facility is the first in North America to feature an entirely closed-loop resource recovery process. Using exclusively licensed recycling technologies, Recleim de-manufacturers household appliances, HVAC systems, vending machines and related electronics into commodities – such as plastic, aluminum, copper, steel and pelletized foam – that are sold for reuse. Recleim reduces landfill waste by recovering 95 percent of components in the appliances it processes and properly disposing of non-recyclable materials.

“When a company decides to build its first plant here in South Carolina, it says a lot about the strength of our state’s business-friendly climate and skilled workforce,” said Governor Nikki Haley. “It shows that companies see our state as a place where they will flourish. Recleim’s decision to invest $40.6 million and create 200 new jobs in Graniteville is a huge reason to celebrate across South Carolina.”

“At Recleim, we want the community to know that we’re open for business,” said Douglas C. Huffer, president and general manager of Recleim. “Companies are increasingly aware of their environmental impact and are taking steps to ensure appliances are responsibly recycled at the end of their useful lives. We have the best technology to do that. We thank Governor Haley for her leadership and making South Carolina a hospitable place for companies like Recleim to do business and create jobs.”

Recleim has already announced several key agreements with companies to process their equipment including BSH Home Appliances Corporation, Pepsi Bottling Ventures and the South Carolina Association of Heating and Air Conditioning Contractors.
