Recleim celebrated the grand opening of its new recycling facility in Lima, Ohio. The landscape of Lima’s business community is growing, with AEP Ohio and Recleim helping to bring more than a hundred new jobs to a city welcoming its first new manufacturing plant in several years.
AEP Ohio’s Economic and Business Development team spent the last year working on the move with Recleim, Allen County Economic Development Group, the Regional Growth Partnership, JobsOhio and the city of Lima. The new facility is a celebration of Ohio’s commitment to energy efficiency, green jobs and reducing our carbon footprint.
The facility is made possible by various Midwest clients of Recleim’s, including major appliance manufacturers and retailers, as well as utility programs across the region including those offered by AEP Ohio and other Ohio utilities.
Recleim terms itself a “de-manufacturer,” recovering approximately 95 percent of commodity components in the old appliances it recycles, while disposing of hazardous chemicals and minimizing waste. Recleim is the only recycling company in North America with the rights to use this state-of- the-art technology, making Recleim the new standard in the recycling industry.
