Rare Recapture and Origin Micro Announce Partnership, Closing the Loop on the IT Asset Lifecycle

Partnership establishes a secure, value-driven recovery program for retired technology assets, extending support across the IT asset lifecycle.

DALLAS, TX and PORTSMOUTH, NH — September 3, 2026 — Rare Recapture Corp. (Rare Recapture), an IT asset disposition and reverse logistics company, and Origin Micro, Inc., a Portsmouth, New Hampshire-based technology solutions provider specializing in the sourcing, distribution, and fulfillment of enterprise IT hardware, today announced a Master Services Agreement naming Rare Recapture as Origin Micro's official IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and IT Asset Management (ITAM) provider.

The partnership creates a more complete lifecycle model, bringing together Origin Micro’s expertise in sourcing and distributing enterprise IT hardware with Rare Recapture’s secure, end-to-end management of retired technology assets—from recovery and data sanitization through value optimization and responsible disposition.

Finding the Best Path for Retired Technology

Retired technology can still contain significant financial value alongside sensitive data and environmental liability. The challenge is determining what should happen to each asset while maintaining security and accountability.

Rare Recapture tailors its approach to the assets and requirements involved, with secure handling, documented processes, transparent reporting, and data sanitization guided by R2v3 and NAID AAA standards. Each asset is then evaluated for its highest-value recovery path.

Security Without Leaving Value Behind

“Security has to come first when technology leaves an organization’s control, but secure recovery shouldn’t mean leaving value behind,” said Sandy Schwartz, CEO of Rare Recapture Corp. “We want Origin Micro to know where its assets are going, that the data is being handled appropriately, and that we are doing the work to find the best possible outcome for what remains. That combination of security, transparency, and value is what this partnership is built around.”

“Our customers rely on us to help them source and deploy the right technology, but the lifecycle does not end when new equipment arrives,” said Donald G. Doney III, President of Origin Micro, Inc. “This partnership adds a trusted path for technology when it reaches retirement, giving us confidence that those assets will be handled securely, responsibly, and with an eye toward preserving their remaining value.”

A More Complete Technology Lifecycle

Since 1997, Origin Micro has helped businesses and organizations source and deploy enterprise IT hardware across servers, storage, networking, computers, memory, components, and related technologies. Rare Recapture now extends that lifecycle by providing secure, accountable management for technology when its first use comes to an end.

Together, Origin Micro's sourcing and hardware expertise and Rare Recapture's recovery and value-optimization capabilities create a lifecycle approach designed to preserve value, strengthen accountability, and keep technology moving toward its best next use.
