Physical destruction exists for three situations: drives that fail wipe verification, degraded or dead media that can't be reliably sanitized in software, and media your security policy requires destroyed regardless of condition.
EndByte handles all three. Drives are shredded or hydraulically crushed, the destruction is documented device by device, and you receive the same per-device certificate as a software wipe — serial, method, date, result.
Destroyed material doesn't go to a landfill. Fragments are processed through responsible e-waste recycling channels, and that disposition is part of your documentation too.
Every device logged before destruction, keeping the custody chain unbroken.
