What Greentec does

Greentec International Inc. is a Cambridge, Ontario-based IT asset disposition (ITAD) and e-waste recycling operator founded in 1995. The company provides end-to-end services for retiring enterprise IT equipment, including secure on-site pickup, chain-of-custody documentation, certified data destruction (NIST 800-aligned, NAID AAA compliant physical shredding and data wiping), asset recovery and remarketing, e-scrap shredding, and ESG reporting. It runs a licensed processing facility in Cambridge and a network of 30+ public drop-off sites across Ontario for individuals and small businesses.

Greentec's core technology stack centres on its proprietary Blubox system for processing hazardous-laden devices and patented sorting technology that recovers metals and commodities from e-scrap. The company is certified under NAID AAA, SERI R2v3 (the first e-waste processor in Canada to receive this standard), Ontario MOECC Environmental Compliance Approval, the Government of Canada's Controlled Goods Program, and ISO 9001/14001/45001, with PIPEDA-aligned data handling. Its named customer base spans large enterprise logos including Air Canada, Deloitte, CAE, TD Synnex, the University of Waterloo, York University, Sinai Health's Circle of Care, and the Peel, Avon Maitland, and District School Board Ontario North East school boards.

The business operates on quote-based professional services pricing with multi-year enterprise contracts, supplemented by transaction fees on e-scrap commodities trading. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (white-glove onsite service model), channel distribution through OECM (Preferred Gold Supplier since 2020) and SYNNEX Canada (since 2018), and inside sales via website-driven quote requests. The firm is privately held by founder/CEO Tony Perrotta, has no disclosed external funding or subsidiaries, and remains focused exclusively on the Ontario market.
