Revenue model

1. Electronics Recycling Processing Fees: Fees charged for processing and recycling end-of-life electronics including ITAD services, data destruction, and secure erasure. Processing covers electronics, circuit boards, solar panels, batteries, and non-ferrous metals.
2. E-Scrap Material Purchase and Concentrate Sales: PedalPoint purchases raw low-grade e-scrap materials from customers, processes them into high-quality homogenized metal concentrates (copper and precious metals), and sells the concentrates to smelting partners. Net settlement occurs within 7 days of receipt and verification.
3. IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and Data Destruction Services: End-to-end ITAD services including on-site data destruction (wiping, degaussing, shredding, disintegration), serialized equipment audit reporting, asset remarketing, and refurbishment. Revenue generated through service fees and value recovery from remarketable equipment.
4. Solar Panel Recycling Processing: Crystalline silicon (C-SI) and CdTe solar panel recycling processing charged at $0.20-$0.30 per pound. Includes panel removal services, logistics/transportation, and TCLP analysis to ensure proper handling.

Core offering

PedalPoint Holdings operates an e-waste recycling platform that processes end-of-life electronics, IT equipment, solar PV panels, and permanent magnets into sustainable metal concentrates using proprietary pyrolysis, pyrometallurgy, and energy recovery technologies. The company operates four R2v3-certified shredding facilities across the US, provides IT asset disposition (ITAD), secure data destruction, asset remarketing, and rare earth recovery services, and ships processed concentrates to Korea Zinc's wholly owned smelters in South Korea, France, and Australia as part of a closed-loop recycling model.

Product overview

PedalPoint Holdings operates as a unified e-waste recycling platform offering technology-powered metal concentrate production and comprehensive lifecycle management services. The core offering centers on PedalPoint Technologies' patented e-scrap recycling process that transforms low-grade electronic waste into high-quality metal concentrates (copper, gold, silver, palladium). This is complemented by three service brands: PedalPoint Recycling (evTerra) for electronics recycling and ITAD with four U.S. shredding facilities; PedalPoint LifeCycle Solutions for global enterprise ITAD and data destruction; and PedalPoint Solar Recycling for solar PV panel processing. The company is vertically integrated with parent Korea Zinc's smelting operations in South Korea, France, and Australia, enabling a true closed-loop recycling model where processed materials feed directly into metal production.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core/flagship, major, supporting and minor.

• Alta Resource Technologiescore/flagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 14 January 2026Korea Zinc partnered with US-based Alta Resource Technologies to form a joint venture that produces high-purity rare earth oxides from permanent magnet waste using a biochemical separation process. The JV will establish production facilities at PedalPoint's US operations in Chicago, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. Initial annual capacity of 100 tons by 2027, scaling up gradually. Positioned as a key pillar of Korea Zinc's strategy to build a localized critical minerals supply chain in the US, creating synergies with the company's planned $8.3 billion Tennessee smelter.
• Western DigitalmajorTechnology or IntegrationWestern Digital, in collaboration with Microsoft, Critical Materials Recycling, and PedalPoint, developed an acid-free process (ADR) to recover rare earths from end-of-life hard drives. The ADR method achieves extraction rates exceeding 90% for neodymium, praseodymium, and dysprosium oxides. Reduces carbon emissions by 95% compared to traditional mining. The pilot program is positioned as a replicable circular economy model for other industries including automotive and renewable energy sectors. PedalPoint provides e-scrap processing infrastructure and rare earth recovery capabilities.
• MicrosoftmajorTechnology or IntegrationMicrosoft partnered with Western Digital, Critical Materials Recycling, and PedalPoint to recover rare earth minerals from decommissioned data center servers. Microsoft achieved a 90.9% reuse and recycling rate for data center servers and components in 2024 (beating its 2025 target of 90% a full year ahead of schedule) through its expanding network of Circular Centers. AI-powered systems including IDARS process millions of decommissioned components and recover critical materials with 95% fewer emissions than traditional mining. PedalPoint participates in the rare earth recovery program as a processing partner.
• Korea Zinc Smelting Operations (South Korea, France, Australia)core/flagshipStrategic or Co-development PartnerPedalPoint's six certified US processing locations shred and sort millions of pounds of e-waste that is then shipped to wholly owned smelters in South Korea, France, and Australia for repurposing of the metals used to manufacture new IT hardware. This creates a true closed-loop approach that minimizes the number of different companies handling data and used IT equipment. PedalPoint is a subsidiary of Korea Zinc, the world's largest nonferrous metal smelter and one of the most profitable refiners globally.
• Critical Materials Recycling (CMR)supportingTechnology or IntegrationCritical Materials Recycling (CMR) partnered with Western Digital, Microsoft, and PedalPoint on the ADR (Acid-free Dissolution Recycling) method for recovering rare earths from end-of-life hard drives. CMR contributes specialized recycling expertise in the rare earth material recovery program achieving 90%+ rare earth capture rates.
• Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), CEBA, SERI, BANminorOthersPedalPoint partners with industry organizations including SEIA (Solar Energy Industries Association), CEBA (Circular Economy Business Association), SERI, and BAN (Basel Action Network) to ensure collaboration on best solutions for solar panel and electronics recycling. These partnerships support advocacy, standards development, and industry coordination for responsible e-waste management.
