Recleim LLC (Recleim), based in Atlanta, Georgia, has entered into an asset purchase agreement with ARCA Advanced Processing (AAP) for the purchase of an appliance recycling facility located at 4301 N. Delaware Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The acquisition extends Recleim’s reach to the Northeast and builds on its recent purchase of Nova Services, Inc. assets in Dundalk, Maryland.
The acquisition gives Recleim de-manufacturing capability in Pennsylvania. De-manufacturing is distinct from recycling because it involves recovering more materials from appliances, HVAC systems and vending machines, benefitting the environment.
The Philadelphia plant is one of only three plants in the country that can capture and process ozone-depleting substances and greenhouse gases that are found in the foam lining of expired appliances.
