BIOREGIONAL RECLAIMED

What are Reclaimed Materials?

Reclaimed building materials are those that have been salvaged from the waste stream and reused in their original form, with minimal reprocessing. They may be cut to size, adapted, cleaned up or refinished, but they are fundamentally retaining their original form.

Recycled materials are considered to be any materials taken from the waste stream and reprocessed and remanufactured to form part of a new product.

Here are some examples to illustrate the difference:
