Data Centre Decommissioning.

Greentec decommissions data centres with a recovery-first approach, protecting data, maintaining compliance, and unlocking value from retired servers, storage, and networking equipment. Every asset is inventoried, triaged, and documented per serial number from rack pull to final disposition.

Serving organizations decommissioning single racks through full multi-site data centre teardowns.

Recovery-First

Not destruction-first. Greentec inventories, triages, and recovers value from every asset that clears the security bar. Destruction only where it belongs.

Data Protection

NAID AAA certified destruction and NIST 800-88 erasure applied per device. Classified assets are destroyed on-site; remaining-value hardware is sanitized before recovery.

Per-Serial

Every asset tracked by serial number with chain-of-custody documentation from rack pull to final disposition, with certificates tied to individual devices.

Offset Costs

Certified recovery frequently offsets decommissioning costs. Hardware with remaining useful life generates a revenue share returned directly to your organization.

What Greentec Provides

Recovery-First. Data Protection. Fully Documented.

Every decommissioning engagement is managed by a certified team, covers the full range of data centre hardware, and delivers complete audit documentation from rack pull to final disposition.

Full Certification Stack

R2v3, NAID AAA, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001. All current, all third-party verified. The same certifications govern every decommissioning engagement.

Recovery-First Asset Triage

Every device inventoried at intake, assigned a disposition method per asset. Certified erasure and remarketing where the security case supports it. Destruction only where genuinely required.

Per-Serial-Number Documentation

Certificates tied to individual assets. Chain-of-custody records, complete inventory reports, and audit-ready documentation delivered with every engagement.

Revenue Share on Recovery

Hardware with remaining useful life goes to certified remarketing channels. Revenue offsets decommissioning costs directly, with full transparency on secondary market proceeds.

Secure Logistics and Transport

Background-checked technicians, GPS-tracked secure transport, and chain-of-custody documentation from rack pull to final disposition. Your site burden stays minimal.

AI and GPU Infrastructure

Demonstrated capability across GPU-dense configurations, HBM architecture, and soldered NVMe. Greentec handles the full range of modern data centre hardware.

The problem

Blanket Destruction Leaves Value on the Table, and Doesn't Simplify Compliance.

Organizations that default to shredding everything still face the same compliance requirements: per-serial-number documentation, chain-of-custody records, certified sanitization. Destruction-first doesn't lower the bar. It just removes the revenue opportunity. Hardware with remaining useful life, including enterprise servers, storage, networking, and GPU accelerators, has secondary market value. Without a recovery-first approach, that value is destroyed along with the hardware.

The Greentec process

Greentec's Recovery-First Process: Inventory, Triage, Then Disposition.

A proper data centre decommissioning inventories every asset at intake, assigns a disposition method per device, and recovers value where the security case supports it. You get paid, and every asset is documented — your privacy, legal, and finance teams receive a complete audit package.
