Advanced LCD production facilities
Sharp’s most prestigious project in the field of
sustainable production is “Green Front” in the
Japanese city of Sakai. This ultra-modern industrial
complex covers an area of over 1 million m
2
and is
designed for large-scale production of solar cells
and large LCD panels. Sharp uses environmentally
friendly materials for the production of these
panels and ensures that the end products are also
recyclable. The collective use of materials, machines
and power ensures the highly efficient production
of solar cells and LCD panels.
Moreover, the most important suppliers are also
located in the industrial park. This prevents long
transportation routes which reduces carbon
dioxide emissions even further. A solar plant for
the provision of power is built on the same site and
it produces a substantial part of the factory’s
power supply.

Durable production and environmentally-
advanced design
Sharp develops products that make our lives more
enjoyable in many ways, from home entertainment
products and household equipment to multifunction
printing systems for the office. As an innovator
of LCD technology and one of the world’s largest
producers, Sharp offers an exceptionally wide range
of professional monitors and touch-screen solutions.
Sharp is a leading manufacturer of solar cells and
panels and our aims for the environment are highly
ambitious. In product innovation we strive toward
products having a long service life and low energy
requirements. We also take care that the products
are easily recyclable. If necessary, we develop the
required recycling technology, which we have done
for LCD monitors.
A comprehensive program with guidelines and
criteria concerning sustainable production applies
to all our business operations. The use of natural
resources, recycling of materials, safe production
processes, compact packaging and transportation
via sea containers (instead of air transport) are
important issues.
