What is Truly Reclaimed?
The Truly Reclaimed standard ensures that a material or product is genuine and distinguishes real antique, reclaimed and salvaged items from fake new products made to resemble the old. In public locations, a QR tag may be present to inform people about the historical, social and eco-benefits of real reuse.
Reuse products with a past and reduce your carbon footprint
Truly Reclaimed delivers true circularity by maximising resources and embodied carbon in the reuse of materials at their highest value, with minimum downcycling and waste.
Reclaimed is a brand worth protecting
The Truly Reclaimed label shines a light on real reuse and supports reclamation, an industry that is helping to combat climate change by reducing the need for new construction products, lessening the CO2 emitted during production and depletion of natural resources.
The story behind the material
Where possible Truly Reclaimed will provide the provenance of a product or material – detailing a chain of custody from where it started life to the transformations it has undertaken. Often such stories are lost with the exchange of owner. Now curious customers can discover the impact of reuse and the past lives of materials.
