and I will make sure you will get the details.

For those who did not take the survey, I will summarize the findings in one single sentence: the first half of the year was an extraordinarily difficult period for the ITAD sector, but looking ahead, there is plenty of optimism not only among your peers, but we also share the same optimism, albeit we must remain cautious.

In the coming weeks, we plan to release the survey instrument for the second installment, and we sincerely hope we will have the opportunity to welcome those of you who have not participated last month for a broader participation. To be reminded of taking the next survey, please add your email address below.

Thank you for your attention and let’s connect soon.

What is Google telling us about the secondary market for IT and electronics?

Google’s Certified Refurbished Phone Program highlights a growing trend of OEMs entering the secondary market to control ecosystems, brand perception, and margins. This move disrupts traditional IT asset resale channels, creating challenges for ITAD vendors while underscoring the economic potential of refurbished IT assets. ITADs must adapt by focusing on premium services like ESG reporting and secure data handling to thrive in this evolving landscape.

First impressions: Iron Mountain’s Third Quarter Results

Iron Mountain’s 3rd quarter results depict a strong performance for its Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM), where its ITAD operation resides. The revenue grown of 145% year over year to $102 million may be too premature to conclude that the tailwinds the company is...

Analysis: Sage Expands Beyond ITAD, Breaks into the Break-Fix Market

On October 22, 2024, Sage Sustainable Electronics (Sage) issued a press release via Businesswire to announce its acquisition of an electronics repair firm called Relectro. This acquisition is somewhat unique in Sage’s context because Relectro does not operate in Sage’s traditional ITAD space. It offers board-level and post-warranty repair for devices like laptops, tablets, and mobile handsets, which means that it operates in a stage that precedes Sage’s typical involvement. As such, we perceive this acquisition as a pathway for Sage to expand upstream in the ITAM sector.
