ITRenew, established in 2000, is a global leader in IT asset disposition (ITAD) and data center lifecycle management solutions. The company specializes in maximizing the lifetime value of data center equipment through sustainable asset disposition, recycling, and remarketing services. ITRenew's mission is to enable organizations to securely protect their data, optimize hardware asset value, and positively impact the environment by promoting IT asset circularity. In January 2022, ITRenew was acquired by Iron Mountain Incorporated, a leading information management company, to enhance Iron Mountain's capabilities in IT asset lifecycle management and sustainability initiatives.
ITRenew focuses on providing comprehensive ITAD services, including secure data sanitization, decommissioning, and remarketing of data center equipment. The company primarily serves hyperscale data centers, which are the fastest-growing segment in the global ITAD market. By offering end-to-end solutions, ITRenew helps clients maximize the value of their retired IT assets while ensuring data security and environmental responsibility.
As of September 30, 2021, ITRenew reported trailing twelve-month revenue exceeding $415 million, with a two-year compounded annual growth rate of approximately 16%. In December 2021, Iron Mountain announced the acquisition of 80% of ITRenew's outstanding shares for approximately $725 million in cash, with plans to acquire the remaining 20% within three years, valuing the company at a minimum enterprise value of $925 million.
ITRenew's proprietary data sanitization software, Teraware, is a market-disrupting solution developed to address the needs of hyperscale data centers. Teraware guarantees 100% sector-verified erasure and has an industry-best success rate of over 95%. It supports multiple-vendor solid-state drive (SSD) sanitization across various storage interfaces, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. Teraware remains the only software certified to erase SSDs at a forensic level through an ADISA Claims Test.

In December 2021, Iron Mountain announced the acquisition of ITRenew, with the transaction closing in January 2022. This acquisition aimed to strengthen Iron Mountain's position in asset lifecycle management and accelerate its enterprise growth trajectory.
The IT asset disposition market is estimated to be valued at $30 billion, with an expected annual growth rate of 11% over the next five years. The hyperscale segment, where ITRenew primarily operates, is projected to grow at an even higher rate. Key competitors in this space include CloudBlue Technologies, KLDiscovery Ontrack, Epiq Systems, and Atlantix Global Systems, each offering various ITAD and data center services.
ITRenew has established significant partnerships to enhance its service offerings. In October 2015, the company partnered with Retire-IT to bolster chain-of-custody processes for IT asset disposition, ensuring enhanced security and compliance for clients.
By integrating ITRenew's capabilities, Iron Mountain aims to provide end-to-end services to hyperscale and corporate data center segments, enhancing its market position and offering comprehensive solutions to clients. The acquisition also aligns with Iron Mountain's commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives by promoting sustainable IT asset management practices.
ITRenew's strategic roadmap focuses on expanding its global footprint, enhancing technological capabilities, and strengthening partnerships to address the growing demand for sustainable IT asset disposition services. By leveraging its expertise and Iron Mountain's resources, ITRenew is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the ITAD market.
