For Our Online Marketplace

Marketplace & Local Sourcing Commitment

As part of our ongoing mission to reduce environmental impact through reuse and reclamation, The Reclaimed Company® is proud to operate a dedicated online marketplace that connects individuals, tradespeople, and businesses with surplus and salvaged building materials. Our platform is designed not only to extend the lifecycle of valuable resources, but to do so in a way that actively supports environmentally responsible trading practices.

We are committed to working in partnership with local and independent reclamation businesses, creating a unified network that promotes local sourcing and regional reuse. By encouraging buyers to connect with sellers geographically close to them, we help to minimise emissions from transportation, reduce packaging waste, and lower the overall carbon footprint of reclaimed goods.

The Reclaimed Company® marketplace enables:

Peer-to-peer trading of reclaimed goods across a shared platform
Local pick-up options, reducing the need for long-distance shipping
Regional sourcing filters that encourage sustainable purchasing decisions
Support for heritage salvage yards, ensuring their inventory reaches buyers with minimal environmental cost

By facilitating access to reclaimed materials through our platform, we empower communities to embrace circular practices, restore with authenticity, and build more sustainably — all while helping to reduce dependence on newly manufactured materials.

This aligns directly with our founding belief that “everything deserves a second chance,” and strengthens our environmental policy by embedding sustainability not just in the products we support, but in the way they are traded and transported.
