Challenge
A nationally recognized IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) provider operating over 10 processing facilities across the U.S. faced a common but costly challenge: large volumes of unsellable or low-value equipment scheduled for recycling. Despite strong upstream partnerships and steady asset inflows, the company lacked effective downstream resale channels for borderline or nonconforming inventory — including off-lease systems, mixed-condition lots, and components deemed unmarketable. These assets, while marked for scrap, still held latent value that traditional recyclers and brokers were unable to unlock. Without a more strategic outlet, the ITAD risked losing hundreds of thousands in potential recovery each quarter.
Solution
Advanced Technologies International (ATI) engaged directly with the ITAD’s operations and remarketing teams to perform a deep value analysis of all assets slated for recycling. Leveraging its specialized secondary-market expertise, ATI identified resale opportunities across global and domestic markets for items previously categorized as non-recoverable.
Through a structured buyout and redistribution program, ATI provided competitive purchase offers and facilitated all downstream logistics — including freight coordination, asset handling, and compliance documentation. The collaboration not only generated immediate cash flow but also established a sustainable secondary outlet for future inventory that would otherwise have been scrapped.
Outcome
The partnership resulted in over $500,000 in recovered value from assets initially designated for recycling. This revenue was redirected into new capital projects within the ITAD’s operational roadmap, improving liquidity and enabling further investment in automation and facility upgrades.
By creating a sustainable downstream network, ATI transformed the ITAD’s end-of-line disposal process into a profitable recovery channel — proving that even “unsellable” equipment can drive measurable returns when handled strategically. The success of this engagement reinforced ATI’s position as a trusted partner within the ITAD industry, helping peers uncover hidden value and drive circular economy impact at scale.
“We helped one of the biggest ITADs in the country recover over $500,000 from gear they had already written off. What most saw as scrap, we turned into serious value.” – Andres Garzon, Director of Purchasing
