Proprietary hardware owners
Anyone whose equipment was built to their own specification and whose recovery figures therefore have to be measured.
One Paladin
Recycling · Metallurgical lab
Paladin's IRT analytical lab provides real-time material analysis: what a component actually contains, validated rather than assumed. It is what turns a recycling claim into a number somebody can audit.
What the lab is for
The same capability serves four different questions, which is why it sits inside the operation rather than at an outside vendor.
Process control
Feedback loops for refining, shredding, separation and smelting. Contamination and inefficiency are caught early, which cuts rework.
Risk management
Validating recyclability and ensuring e-waste is properly identified and handled, which is what reduces liability on sensitive infrastructure.
Lifecycle insight
Metal content compared across hardware generations, which informs procurement and refresh cycles rather than just the disposal decision.
Who uses it
Proprietary and Open Compute hardware is exactly the case where published recovery assumptions stop being reliable.
Operators running Open Compute hardware, where metal content differs from anything in a general recycler's reference tables.
Anyone whose equipment was built to their own specification and whose recovery figures therefore have to be measured.
Validating the recyclability of components and metal content, so circular economy claims rest on analysis.

If your recovery reporting currently rests on an assumption, the lab can replace it with a measurement.
