DMD Systems Recovery, LLC (DMD) proudly announces its recognition on the 2025 MO 100 Top Impact CEO Ranking for the third consecutive year, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices. Led by CEO Aaron Zeper, DMD continues to drive innovation in Reuse First™ ITAD solutions, helping organizations reduce e-waste, maximize value recovery, and achieve their sustainability goals.

DMD’s Reuse First™ ITAD approach prioritizes extending the lifecycle of IT assets through secure redeployment and resale whenever feasible. When reuse isn’t an option, DMD ensures responsible recycling and certified data destruction, meeting the highest industry standards for data security and environmental responsibility. As a Certified B Corporation with NAID AAA, R2v3, and ISO-certified processes, DMD helps organizations reduce e-waste, recapture value, and achieve their ESG goals—without compromising security or compliance.

“Receiving this recognition for the third consecutive year validates DMD’s unique model in ITAD and reinforces why ITAD must be more than just responsible disposal—it must prioritize reuse,” said Aaron Zeper, CEO of DMD. “As a company, we stay true to our values and foster a supportive, flexible environment for our teammates, continuously improving and adapting. As an ITAD provider, we continue to prioritize reuse, helping Fortune 5000 companies understand the impact their choices have on both their business and the environment with a Reuse First™ approach. Imperative to our world, a circular economy cannot be built by focusing on recycling retired IT assets—it requires extending their life, reducing waste, and maximizing their value in a secure and sustainable way. At DMD, we’re proving that ITAD drives real environmental impact while still meeting the highest standards for security and compliance.”
