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.
