End-to-end control, not patchwork recycling.
Most ITAD and recycling programs run on broker chains and opaque hand-offs. Paladin operates a single, integrated system from pickup through destruction, processing and final disposition, giving you one accountable partner, full chain-of-custody, and high-value materials kept onshore and in circulation.

Economic security is national security.
Scrap is collected locally, but where it goes, and who controls it, determines who controls manufacturing, innovation and long-term competitiveness. We cannot recycle our way out of the problems facing supply chains, but recycling is the only near-term lever that matches the urgency of defense, AI infrastructure and energy-transition demand. The U.S. has almost no heavy rare earths in its mines, which makes recovery from existing equipment essential for near-term access.

Old technology goes in. Secure domestic supply comes out.
When an organization retires servers, laptops, drives or turbines, two things have to happen: the data has to be destroyed beyond recovery, and the materials inside have to be recovered rather than shipped away. Paladin does both, under one contract, and hands you the paperwork that proves it.
NIST 800-88 destruction, serial-level chain of custody, certificates that survive an audit.
One vendor, one contract, one report, from pickup through final disposition.
Recovery revenue offsets disposal cost. Transparent modeling against your actual asset mix.
Critical materials kept onshore, in allied supply chains, with the audit trail to show it.
Trust is the scarcest commodity in this market.
The recycling and ITAD market is still highly fragmented and broker-driven, with long, opaque hand-offs that make true accountability difficult, and a reputation for heavy marketing and uneven execution. Paladin is the counter-example: a compliance-led operator built around provable processes, not resale margins or downstream promises. For recycling to work it has to be treated as critical infrastructure, not a loose network or a bolt-on.
Long, opaque hand-offs
Multi-vendor networks and downstream processors create blind spots in security, compliance and material flow.
Cost stacking and leakage
Fragmented models raise exposure as hyperscale volumes and regulatory scrutiny rise together.
Unprovable outcomes
Customers cannot show where assets went, how they were processed, or whether data was destroyed.
Chain of custody, secure handling and verifiable recovery are not claims here. They are the operating standard you can audit.
See how it worksFour product lines. One operating platform.
Paladin turns end-of-life technology into secure, domestic supply: local collection, data-secure destruction and end-to-end recovery, keeping value and critical materials in-country.
REcapture
A domestic recovery pathway for rare-earth magnets. Neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium and terbium reclaimed from retired assets at usable quality.

Secure ITAD and recycling close to where assets are generated. A hub-and-satellite model that reaches regional and mid-market organizations, not only large metros.
ExploreBuilt for the volumes nobody else will take.
Exacerbated by data center demand, AI and hyperscaler growth, this is the fastest-growing waste stream in the world, and much of it still ends up in landfill or low-value export channels. Hyperscale decommissioning, wind assets, government refresh cycles and regional mid-market intake all run on the same platform and the same controls.

11 p.m., one hyperscale campus, forty racks going dark.
The migration window is four hours. Forty racks of drives come offline, get scanned into custody one by one, and leave on trucks before the campus wakes back up. Nothing sits, nothing gets skipped, nothing goes dark on the record even though the racks did.
By the time the sun is up, the drives that once held customer workloads are on their way to certified destruction. The magnets inside them are on their way to REcapture. And the operations team has a report, not a guess, about where every one of them went.
