Panasonic Corporation of North America is committed to providing our customers
with convenient and environmentally responsible recycling of their TVs and other
consumer electronics at the end of their useful life.

This program covers Panasonic, Quasar and Technics branded consumer electronics
products.
The Panasonic program is operated by the Electronic Manufacturers Recycling
Management Company, LLC, (known as MRM). MRM was created in September of
2007 by Panasonic Corporation of North America, Sharp Electronics Corporation, and
Toshiba America Consumer Products, LLC, to foster the efficient management of
recycling programs. MRM offers its service to all consumer electronics manufacturers
and retailers, and already works with over 35 companies. MRM was recognized by
US EPA as the winner of the 2009 TV Recycling Challenge award winner.
As consumers continue to choose new electronics products to enhance their lives, the
Panasonic program will help them recycle their used products safely and easily.
Panasonic will also continue to work with states and localities to help craft flexible
and environmentally responsible TV and consumer electronics recycling systems that
allow for manufacturer managed recycling programs, like our Panasonic program,
that keep consumer electronics products out of landfills and avoid export of
potentially hazardous materials after the products are disassembled and processed.
Otherwise, manufacturers will continue to be forced to comply with a patchwork of
differing state laws that result in inefficiency and greater expense to both consumers
and manufacturers.
Further, Panasonic will continue to insist upon transparency and oversight of any
recycling companies used by MRM in order to allay any potential concerns about their
practices including use of prison labor and export of hazardous materials.
