ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT
Sharp’s ongoing commitment to minimizing the
environmental impact of the document systems it
develops sets a high standard for the industry.
An Environmentally Responsible Approach to Product Design
The MX-C402SC and MX-B402SC utilize Sharp’s advanced micro-fine toner technology, which
offers a lower consumption rate and produces less waste than conventional toners, resulting in
longer replacement intervals. Sharp supplies are packaged using fully recyclable materials.
Long-life consumable parts help minimize service intervals and down time, resulting in lower
operating costs. With two different energy saving modes, power can be reduced or shut off at
set intervals. All Sharp document systems are RoHS compliant to restrict the use of hazardous
substances.
Toner Recycling Program
As part of our commitment to helping preserve the environment, Sharp offers our customers
zero waste land fill recycling for all Sharp consumables, including cartridges, bottles, toner
collection containers and drum units. Sharp encourages customers to recycle their used Sharp
toner cartridges in bulk by providing a pre-paid Recycling Kit for their return to our facility.
Environmental Leadership
As a testament to our commitment to the environment, Sharp is a three-time winner of the ENERGY
STAR annual Excellence in Energy Proficiency Product Design. Sharp is also a four-time winner of
the SmartWay
®
Excellence Award, which recognizes companies for conserving energy and lowering
greenhouse gas emissions in logistics and transportation. Sharp was also a previous recipient of the
Excellence in Partnership Green Contractor Award and the Evergreen Award from the General
Services Administration (GSA) and the Coalition for Government Procurement. These awards
recognize environmentally responsible businesses and their efforts on recycling, waste reduction
and affirmative procurement practices.
