The Brand Data Management System (BDMS) was developed by the National Center for Electronics Recycling (NCER) to allow all stakeholders interested in emerging electronics recycling systems in the US the opportunity to view and customize brand return share reports from across the country. With this database, the NCER has compiled the known electronics brand count studies (referred to on this site as “data sources”), and will be adding more as they become available. Implementators of electronics recycling laws in Maine and Washington utilize these and similar data to identify brand-manufacturer relationships and to help determine manufacturer recycling obligations in those states.
The BDMS allows for the management and sorting of the hundreds of different brands reported by recent brand return studies in order to gain a more detailed comparison of trends such as variations in brand return share in different regions, brand ranking trended over time (including changes of top brands collected), and the number of officially designated orphan brands. Currently the BDMS includes monitors, TVs, desktop computers and laptop computers in its scope of products.
