Built to Keep America's Metals in America.
R-IT3 was founded on the belief that the US electronic recycling industry deserves world-class technology — developed here, deployed here, protecting both the environment and national security interests.
Reducing the Impact of Electronic Waste.
R-IT3 is a company committed to reducing the impact of electronic waste through recycling electronics and developing advanced technologies that are environmentally friendly, recyclable, and accomplished in the USA — rather than sending material to overseas smelters.
Our goal is to ensure the US leads in electronic waste recycling through continuous technology development, national infrastructure expansion, and the creation of domestic markets for recovered precious metals.
We have created a national footprint to serve the recycling industry — combining secure logistics, advanced processing facilities, and direct relationships with material generators across all sectors.
100% Domestic
All processing performed in the United States — no overseas smelting, no material export.
No Harsh Chemicals
Green chemistry processes that protect waterways, workers, and surrounding communities.
DLA Identifier

Circular Economy
Recovered metals re-enter the supply chain — reducing demand for virgin mining globally.
The Visionary Behind the Technology.
Peter Jegou
Co-Founder & Visionary for New Technologies
Peter Jegou is the inventor and visionary behind R-IT3's core technology platform. He previously created and developed a complete processing facility for 50,000 pounds of circuit boards per month and sold three issued US patents for the recovery of precious metals contained in printed circuit boards — processes that are environmentally friendly, contain no harsh chemicals, and allow precious metals to be fully reused.
Building on this foundation, Peter is now advancing R-IT3's next-generation patent-pending green-chemistry recovery technology — a system designed to transition the company from high-volume waste processing into a high-margin advanced materials supplier through the creation of Gold Value Forms, exploring markets that allows gold to be sold at values greater than spot pricing as well as other engineered precious metal products.
His vision extends the platform to address solar panel end-of-life waste, legacy mining environmental liabilities, and new precious-metal-bearing waste streams — positioning R-IT3 at the center of the domestic critical materials supply chain. Mr. Jegou continues to explore various ways to recover the precious metals contained in circuit boards, keeping the original high standards set with the 3 patents granted. Accomplishing this inside of R-IT3, Inc. to continue R&D in developing the extraction and refining of copper and precious metals contained in circuit boards. This method will be accomplished in an environmentally friendly manner.
Both he and his wife Carol have national, international and governmental contacts for securing material.
Peter Jegou was the CEO, one of the majority shareholders and visionary for All Green Recycling Inc (AGR). AGR developed, patented and built a refining operation using our intellectual property (IP), multi patented technology and trade secrets for the most environmentally sustainable method of extracting the valuable commodities (gold, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium) from higher grade circuit boards without using harsh chemicals, producing "Conflict-Free" gold.
AGR multi patented process advantages included: hydrometallurgical closed-loop system eliminating air emissions with no discharge; environmentally safe alternative to smelting without shredding; concentrating precious-bearing material from circuit boards to obtain Gold, Silver, Palladium, Platinum and Copper. AGR utilized a water-soluble solution which can be rejuvenated and recycled, and the proprietary solution can be re-used an unlimited number of times. The factory was sold including equipment and 3 patents over two years ago.
Before founding All Green Recycling Inc, Mr. Jegou spent over 4 years as the CEO of AERC, an environmental services company that, when he joined in March 2007, processed mercury and operated 3 Electronic Recycling Facilities in the US. During his 4½ years at AERC, after securing 5 million dollars in private equity, the company grew from $10 million to $22 million in revenues, with the electronic recycling operation having a $2 million operating profit for the year ending 2010. During this time, Peter oversaw the opening of 4 additional e-waste facilities on both the east and west coasts of the US and coordinated the R2/RIOS Certifying of 5 Electronic Recycling Operations.
Prior to joining AERC, he was the CEO and co-founder of the Harbor Business Group, LLC, a private equity & consulting company with Marc Pozner, CFO and partner in AGR. In that role Mr. Jegou's and Mr. Pozner's accomplishments included the repositioning of a technology-based company in the television broadcast industry, a corporate turnaround to cash flow positive in 6 months, and the development of a new management team. In 2006 Harbor was merged into a private equity firm.
Mr. Jegou has been a chief executive officer and a president of both public and private companies. He has spent the last 10 years restructuring several companies with an emphasis on providing leadership, execution, financing, turnaround, mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, product development, establishing sales, marketing, public relations programs and developing strong management teams.
Mr. Jegou's substantial experience as an investor, entrepreneur and executive, including extensive operating experience, contributes significantly when successfully growing companies. He has facilitated relationships between clients and angel investors, venture capitalists, investment bankers and commercial bankers, and has advised on capital raising, mergers and acquisitions, and business alliances. Peter's experience also extends to the public marketplace, including pre-IPO corporate structuring, taking companies through the registration process, and registering companies with NASDAQ. He has re-engineered and restructured companies, leading to investments of more than $100 million.
Mr. Jegou has an extensive knowledge of investment banking and private equity firms and capital raises. He is also a seasoned entrepreneur, including being a co-founder of a children's product company which he grew from concept to a publicly traded NASDAQ company. Mr. Jegou was a guest lecturer at the April 2002 World Trade Conference in Hunan Province, China, discussing "How to position your company to access the U.S. capital markets."
R-IT3's Management Team.
R-IT3 has assembled and continues to assemble a very experienced management team.
