Panasonic’s Andrea Murphy: Why Design for Disassembly Starts with Recyclers
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!Can a manufacturer close the loop on its own products, or does circularity only work when recyclers, municipalities, and the people designing the next unit are all in the room? On this episode of the Resource Recycling Podcast, host Uriah Kiser talks with Andrea Murphy, Director of Environmental Affairs at Panasonic Corporation of North America.Murphy leads product stewardship for the North American business and chairs the governing committee of Electronics Manufacturers Recycling Management Company (MRM). Since 2007, MRM has collected more than 1.7 billion pounds of e-waste in the United States. She walks through what a consumer should actually do with an end-of-life Panasonic product (or any brand), how MRM’s zip-code tool and prepaid mail-back program work, and why convenience is the difference between a garage full of old devices and material that reaches a certified recycler.The conversation covers the persistent patchwork of state electronics recycling laws, the renewed regulatory interest driven by critical minerals, and the practical complications of smaller devices, wearables, and embedded lithium-ion batteries.She also explains the company’s green transformation teams and the washing-machine heat-pump relocation that cut repair time roughly in half and saved more than a million dollars a year while extending product life.Murphy discusses the MultiShape modular grooming system (nominated at e-Scrap), the value of certified partners (e-Stewards and R2), and why manufacturers still need recyclers and municipalities in the room. She previews conversations she expects at the e-Scrap Longevity Conference, October 26–28 in New Orleans.If you work in electronics recycling, ITAD, repair, manufacturing, or policy, this episode is a clear look at how one major OEM is trying to move from compliance to genuine circular design.Like, comment, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the next conversation on circular electronics.Support Resource RecyclingSubscribe free → https://resource-recycling.com/subscribe/e-Scrap: The Longevity Conference (Oct. 26–28, 2026, Hyatt Regency New Orleans) → https://www.e-scrapconference.com/MRM Recycling (find a drop-off or mail-back) → https://www.mrmrecycling.com/Panasonic MultiShape / Take Back for Tomorrow → https://shop.panasonic.com/pages/personal-care-recycling-pageFollow Resource Recycling:• YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@ResourceRecyclingPodcast• X → https://x.com/rrecycling• LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/company/resource-recycling-inc-• Website → https://resource-recycling.com/
