An accomplished executive with over 35 years of experience leading industrial businesses, David D'Addario serves as chairman and CEO of Dada Holdings, an investment and management company in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In addition to his responsibilities at Dada Holdings, David D'Addario serves as the chairman and principal of ElementUS Minerals LLC.

ElementUS enables the sustainable supply of critical raw materials in the construction, aerospace, and automobile sectors by renewing above-ground waste. Its proprietary recycling process helps reclaim land, lower energy consumption, and mitigate carbon footprints.

Since ElementUS mainly focuses on recycling materials, its operations are free of greenhouse gas emissions and the copious energy consumption associated with mining. Its products include base metals, rare earth metals, aggregates, and specialty chemicals.

ElementUS' recycling process results in zero residual waste or pollution problems. It represents a significant source of US rare earth elements in a world where roughly 90 percent of rare earth metals come from China.

A longtime resident of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, David D’Addario is a successful business leader who draws on nearly four decades of leadership experience in the metals and recycling industry and currently serves as chairman and CEO of New Day Aluminum LLC. David D’Addario also serves as chairman and principal of ElementUS Minerals LLC, a company that mines bauxite residue for valuable, rare earth elements.

ElementUS is committed to the purification of rare earth metals for further applications, as these metals typically contain other materials in the ore body when they are extracted. Yttrium, neodymium, scandium, zirconium, and cerium are some of the rare earth elements that ElementUS processes.

ElementUS works toward green transformation, which is a long-term solution for recycling waste leftovers from purification processes into useful materials. Converting industrial wastes into economically viable and valuable commodities is one aspect of this project. Carbon footprint reduction and a zero-residue procedure are two additional advantages of green transformation.
