Q1 earnings confirm a wave of decommissioning work ahead for ITAD
The current earnings season shows continued momentum in the tech sector with positive implications on the ITAD sector. The pattern that emerged in prior quarters continued through April, with four major technology companies reporting results that reinforce the case for rising ITAD volumes.
Iron Mountain puts ITAD at the center of its growth story, but exposures to component prices and hyperscale demand could test it
Iron Mountain’s first-quarter results look exceptional on the surface, and in many respects they are. But a closer reading of the numbers reveals a growth story that is partly dependent on conditions that have already begun to shift, making this a quarter that raises as many questions about durability as it answers about momentum.
Apple leads on inputs, faces questions on ITAD
Apple’s latest environmental milestone, a claim that 30% of the material in all products it shipped in 2025 was recycled, landed on Earth Day and has been widely cited in ESG coverage. According to the company’s April 16 newsroom release, that figure represents the highest-ever share of recycled material in its devices and is framed as a key step toward Apple’s 2030 climate targets.
Data Security: Windows AI Recall is pushing data destruction upstream
Every Copilot+ PC that arrives at an ITAD dock this year is potentially carrying something that didn’t exist on a corporate laptop two years ago: a dense, time-stamped archive of nearly everything that ever crossed the user’s screen.
Secondary Market: Intel boosts margins by selling what it used to scrap
Intel’s Q1 non-GAAP gross margin came in at 41%, roughly 650 basis points above the company’s own guidance. Management attributed the beat to a combination of higher volumes, favorable mix, pricing, and better 18A yields. According to industry analyst Ben Bajarin, who posted on X following the earnings call, part of the lift came from yield salvage: selling marginal silicon, much of it edge-die that would normally be binned out or scrapped rather than shipped into a usable SKU. Intel is now capturing revenue from silicon that would previously have been written down or held in reserve.
