ERI and Green Marble Partner to Launch ERI Vietnam and Advance Circular Electronics Recycling
FRESNO, Calif. & HANOI, Vietnam — It, a leading U.S. provider of material resource recovery, IT asset disposition (ITAD), mobility services, data destruction, and electronics recycling, has announced a strategic partnership with Green Marble Company, a sub-holding enterprise of VSD Holdings focused on developing recycling facilities and advancing the circular economy in Vietnam.
The partnership will establish ERI Vietnam, a new venture designed to bring advanced electronics recycling, ITAD, data protection, and material recovery capabilities to the Vietnamese market. The venture will be jointly owned by It and Green Marble, with each organization holding a 50% ownership stake.
The new company will combine It’s experience in technology-driven electronics recycling and circular resource recovery with Green Marble and VSD Holdings’ local knowledge, infrastructure, relationships, and business networks in Vietnam and international markets.
It Vietnam is expected to begin operations later in 2026, marking It’s first owned and It-branded facility in Vietnam.
Building a Closed-Loop Recycling Model
The partnership is designed around a shared vision of creating a transparent, end-to-end circular economy model in Vietnam.
Rather than treating obsolete electronics as waste, It Vietnam intends to recover valuable materials and components and return them to productive use. The companies say the venture will focus on keeping recyclable materials out of landfills, responsibly processing electronic equipment, protecting sensitive data, and supporting the production of new products using recovered resources.
“Our work will be done in a radically transparent, end-to-end closed circular loop manner where materials will be kept out of landfills, responsibly recycled, and put back into the circular economy to produce new products in Vietnam,” said John Shegerian, Chairman and CEO of It.
Shegerian described the partnership as an opportunity to bring together sustainability and circularity practices from North America and Asia under a single platform.
He said Vietnam represents a significant growth opportunity for responsible electronics recycling as the country’s technology sector, manufacturing base, and consumption of electronic devices continue to expand.
Combining Global Expertise With Local Knowledge
The partnership brings together complementary capabilities from the two organizations.
It will contribute its expertise in electronics recycling, ITAD, data destruction, technology reuse, logistics, compliance, and advanced material recovery. Green Marble and VSD Holdings will provide local market knowledge, infrastructure, relationships, and networks that can help It Vietnam establish operations and serve customers throughout the country.
Vu Ngoc Tu, Founder and CEO of VSD Holdings, said the partnership represents an important milestone in the company’s effort to establish a transparent and technology-driven recycling ecosystem in Vietnam.
“We are proud to partner with It to establish It Vietnam and introduce world-class e-waste recycling and ITAD capabilities to the Vietnamese market,” Tu said.
He added that combining It’s technologies and international standards with Green Marble and VSD Holdings’ local capabilities will help the new venture recover valuable resources while protecting data and the environment.
The companies intend to develop a recycling model that meets international compliance expectations while also addressing the specific needs of Vietnam’s rapidly developing technology and manufacturing sectors.
Advanced Electronics Recycling and ITAD
It brings extensive experience in the management of end-of-life electronics and IT assets.
The company operates eight locations in the United States, with additional expansion planned, and provides a broad range of circular economy services. These include secure data destruction, advanced shredding of end-of-life IT equipment, technology remarketing, electronics recycling, logistics, regulatory compliance, and IT asset disposition.
Data security will be an important component of It Vietnam’s services.
As businesses replace computers, servers, mobile devices, networking equipment, storage systems, and other technology, organizations must ensure that sensitive information is securely removed before equipment is reused, resold, or recycled.
It’s ITAD capabilities are designed to provide customers with controlled processes for managing technology throughout its end-of-life cycle, including secure data destruction and detailed tracking.
The company also uses proprietary software to provide chain-of-custody visibility, enabling the tracking of individual IT assets throughout the recycling and disposition process.
Using Technology to Improve Material Recovery
It has also invested in technologies designed to make electronics recycling more efficient and precise.
Among these capabilities are artificial intelligence-powered image recognition systems and robotic arms that can automatically identify and sort materials after electronic equipment has been shredded.
These technologies can improve the accuracy of material separation and help recover valuable resources from complex electronic products.
By incorporating advanced automation and data-driven processes into recycling operations, It aims to maximize material recovery while improving efficiency and transparency.
The company plans to bring this experience to It Vietnam as the new venture develops its operations.
Supporting Vietnam’s Circular Economy
Vietnam is becoming increasingly important in global technology manufacturing and supply chains. As economic activity and technology adoption increase, the volume of electronic products reaching the end of their useful lives is also expected to grow.
The establishment of It Vietnam is intended to help address this challenge by providing businesses with a structured pathway for managing obsolete electronics.
The venture will focus on recovering materials that can potentially be used again in manufacturing, reducing reliance on disposal, and supporting the development of a more circular resource economy.
A closed-loop approach can provide benefits beyond waste reduction. Recovering metals, plastics, and other materials from electronic products can help preserve natural resources while creating new inputs for manufacturing.
The partnership therefore aims to connect electronics collection and processing with the broader manufacturing and industrial ecosystem in Vietnam.
It’s Global Experience
It has established itself as a major provider of electronics recycling and material recovery services in the United States.
Since its founding, the company says it has recycled more than 3 billion pounds of electronic waste in the U.S., contributing to the recovery and reuse of materials from millions of electronic devices.
It has also developed relationships with carefully audited ITAD and recycling partners in more than 140 countries, giving the company international experience in managing technology assets and recycling requirements.
However, the launch of It Vietnam represents a significant expansion of that international presence because it will be the company’s first directly owned and ERI-branded location in Vietnam.
The partnership allows It to combine its international experience with an established Vietnamese business network and local operational expertise.
Focus on Transparency and Compliance
Transparency and regulatory compliance will be central to the It Vietnam model.
As organizations increasingly face requirements related to environmental responsibility, data protection, supply-chain transparency, and responsible resource management, recycling providers must demonstrate that electronic equipment and recovered materials are handled appropriately.
It has developed its operations around chain-of-custody controls, certifications, data security, and environmental compliance.
The company is certified at the highest levels by leading environmental and data-security oversight organizations for the responsible de-manufacturing, recycling, and refurbishment of electronic devices.
It was also the first company in its industry to achieve ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications for security and data protection, according to the company.
These standards and processes are expected to inform the development of It Vietnam’s operations.
Preparing for Launch
It Vietnam is scheduled to begin doing business later in 2026.
Once operational, the venture will provide Vietnamese organizations with access to advanced electronics recycling and ITAD capabilities while creating new opportunities to recover materials and support local circular economy initiatives.
The partnership between It and Green Marble reflects a broader shift toward treating electronic products as valuable resource streams rather than disposable waste.
By combining secure data destruction, asset management, technology reuse, advanced recycling, material recovery, and regulatory compliance, It Vietnam aims to create an integrated solution for businesses managing electronic equipment at the end of its useful life.
The companies believe the venture can serve as a foundation for a more transparent, technology-driven, and internationally aligned electronics recycling ecosystem in Vietnam.
