MRM Recycling Information

The many advances in electronic product technology have dramatically changed and improved our lives.  But with the many benefits associated with enjoyment of electronics and new technologies comes a responsibility.  In recognition of this responsibility, Panasonic Corporation of North America, Sharp Electronics Corporation and Toshiba America Consumer Products, LLC spearheaded the formation of a new electronics recycling organization, the Electronic Manufacturers Recycling Management Company, LLC (MRM) to implement ethical and sustainable recycling efforts across the United States.

MRM Recycling Results

MRM has recycled 290 million pounds of electronics since it was formed in the fall of 2007.

MRM runs recycling programs for manufacturers in 19 states with regulatory requirements. In addition to its regulatory compliance program, MRM runs a comprehensive national electronics recycling program. Six MRM companies participate in the voluntary national program: Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Sharp, Sanyo, Toshiba and VIZIO.

MRM’s national voluntary program was launched in January 2009. Through MRM’s national recycling program, MRM provides recycling opportunities for consumers in every state in the US.

A full list of sites can be found on the Consumer Services page. MRM believes these strong efforts in non-regulatory states are critical to providing true recycling opportunities across the country.

MRM Recycling Vendor Requirements

MRM is committed to providing environmentally responsible recycling for consumers across the country. MRM engages with a number of recycling vendors and each must understand and adhere to the MRM Requirements. All MRM contracts require vendors and any subcontractors to comply with standards outlined in our Recycling Vendor Requirements document. Please review that document here.
