From IT equipment to cell towers and now generators, RGX is redefining how businesses manage their outdated electronics assets and infrastructure or materials. By creating a seamless, competitive marketplace, we’re not just recycling—we’re rewriting the rules. Our generator recycling program is the latest example of how we’re turning outdated systems into opportunities for sustainability, innovation, and impact.

How the Program Works

When a company is ready to retire a generator, it doesn’t just sit rotting in a field or warehouse. Instead, it’s placed on the RGX platform, where the real action begins. Service providers from across the country compete to place bids on the generators. Whether it’s a surplus model with resale potential or an older unit destined for recycling, every generator gets its shot at a second life.

The Process:

• Generator Retirement: Companies identify generators ready for disposition and upload them to the RGX platform.
• Bidding Wars: Service providers review detailed specs and images, then compete to win the bid.
• Winning and Work: Winning bidders either refurbish the generator for resale or recycle its components, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
• Decommissioning Done Right: Before pickup, the company decommissions the generators, setting the stage for a smooth transaction.
• Since launching this initiative, RGX has processed 1000+ generators with a continually growing network of participating service providers, which leads to a competitive market and better outcomes for all stakeholders.

Why It Matters

Generators play a critical role in keeping businesses and facilities powered, but when they reach the end of their service life, they’re often treated as trash. Not on our watch. Our program ensures that every generator is either:

• Refurbished to support continuity and growth for other businesses.
• Recycled responsibly, extracting valuable metals and components for reuse.

This isn’t just recycling—this is a full-scale industry disruption. We’re turning waste into opportunity and showing that bold innovation can lead to bold results.

The Bigger Picture: Why More Generators Are Needed

The demand for generators in the U.S. is surging, driven by several critical factors:

• Weather-Related Outages: Increasingly severe and frequent weather events are causing power outages nationwide.
• Grid Reliability: Aging infrastructure has reduced the reliability of the electrical grid.
• Changing Consumer Habits: More people rely on medications requiring refrigeration and electronic devices for communication, making backup power essential.

The U.S. market reflects this growing need. For instance, as of 2024, approximately 5.77% of U.S. homes have backup generators, a significant rise from 0.63% two decades ago. While RGX’s program focuses on commercial generators—often too large for residential use—the growing secondary market for generators highlights the overall demand for backup power. Additionally, with more people working from home, smaller generators are increasingly sought after, creating a ripple effect across the industry and emphasizing the need for responsible recycling and refurbishing of all sizes.

While exact numbers are hard to pin down, the growing prevalence of generators in homes and businesses suggests a steady influx of retired units. Platforms like RGX play a vital role in ensuring these generators are responsibly refurbished or recycled, contributing to both environmental and economic sustainability.
