The alternative to reclaiming would be to leave it in place and pave over the top (asphalt overlay). That has limits, though, so reclamation will be a requirement over time.
The claim and wording is valid and correct, though. You cannot recycle asphalt if you leave it in place. And what is removed is recycled at a rate of 99%.
If you don't reclaim the asphalt, then it's still in place, and technically still in use.
