Our Mission

MRM’s mission is to bring manufacturers together into long-term relationships that help provide convenient, environmentally responsible recycling opportunities to consumers nationwide.

What we offer

MRM’s goal is to develop recycling systems that are convenient for consumers and open to participation by all electronic product manufacturers. We believe that manufacturers working together to manage recycling systems is the best way to ensure effective and sustainable recycling for electronic products. Our industry’s immediate challenge is the establishment of systems in those states that require manufacturers to collect and recycle electronic products as a condition of sale. Longer term, the electronics industry is working toward the development of a comprehensive nation-wide approach, and MRM will seek to play a leadership role   in that process.

MRM WINS FIRST NATIONAL "PLUG-IN TO e-CYCLING TV RECYCLING CHALLENGE" FROM U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

 

MRM has won the Plug-In To eCycling’s TV Recycling Challenge, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program. The TV Recycling Challenge is a national competition started this year, calling upon television manufacturers and electronics retailers to partner in creative ways to increase responsible recycling and collection practices for end-of-life TVs in 2009 and beyond.

MRM was tapped for the honor over several other programs after being evaluated on the basis of its partnerships; innovation; longevity; consumer outreach; accessibility; pounds of TVs collected; and ability to ensure that responsible recycling practices are followed. In making the award, EPA cited MRM’s “wide reach” and “different approaches to collecting TVs, including working with charities and self storage units.”

The Challenge was created this year by the EPA to raise public awareness of the importance of responsible recycling of televisions and to recognize significant achievement by manufacturers and retailers in providing convenient and consistent ways for consumers to safely recycle their old TVs. Overall, since the Plug-In To eCycling program began in 2003, partners have recycled more than 200 million pounds of electronics, including televisions as well as computers and cell phones.
