Companies choose RECLAIM because our products:

  • Reduce or eliminate fixed costs
  • Allow our customers to appeal to environmentally conscious customers (because they are environmentally friendly)
  • Are a key component in projects seeking LEED certification and in complying with environmental regulations

Harley-Davidson

Wauwatosa, Wisconsin

One of Harley-Davidson’s time-tested approaches to quality control is thorough testing. One of those tests involves drenching a motorcycle with water. Water regulations limited Harley’s use of water.
