Teh whole industry is greenwashing and nobdy talks about where teh dead ssds go

You see "carbon nuetral" and "renewable energy" in every report but ask them where teh failed drives end up and its crickets

I run a small shop — 200 boxes — and even I know my recycler ships pallets to ghana or wherever. I dont lie about it. Teh big hosts lie by omission

Make them say teh destination. Make them say "we export to developing nations for informal recovry." see how many keep teh badge

Thanks for raising this, tomhider — it's an important angle that doesn't get enough attention in our industry.

At Contabo, we work with a certified recycler for all retired storage and compute. I'm happy to check our specific chain of custody documentation and share what I can via DM, since some details are under NDA with our vendor.

Nda with a recycler sounds like the same omission dressed up
