According to an announcement released today Panasonic Corporation, Sharp Electronics and Toshiba America have joined forces to create a new recycling company, called the Electronic Manufacturers Recycling Management Company (MRM). Their purpose is to provide recycling services to electronic manufacturers, state and local governments, as well as other companies as needed.

The statement says:

“We believe that forming an independent company to manage collective
electronic recycling programs is the best way to achieve the economies of
scale and efficiencies necessary to create a sustainable recycling system
for used electronics products.” said David Thompson, MRM President. “MRM
has already entered into collection and recycling agreements with Hitachi
Electronics, JVC, Mitsubishi, Philips, Pioneer, Sanyo and Olevia brand
maker Syntax-Brillian, and looks forward to working with other
manufacturers going forward.”

This new service will help offer consumers a convenient way to recycle their old, useless electronics, and will hopefully cut down on illegal dumping for electronic products. However, their first task is to offer electronic manufacturers a cost effective means of recycling waste electronic products to meet a requirement that was passed in Minnesota for the recycling of old electronic products.
