This program has been launched by Electronic Manufacturers Recycling Management which is owned by these three electronics major.

The service is available at 280 collection points in the U.S.

David Thompson, president of MRM spoke about their expansion plans: “We have plans to grow this collection network overtime and we’ll go from 280 to 400 to 600 to 800, that’s our goal at this point in time.”

He added: “We’re also establishing MRM as a collaborative platform where manufacturers can hopefully come together and share the cost of collection infrastructure and once we do that and minimize that cost or minimize that cost we’ll have an opportunity to expand the network even greater.”
