Sharp Enhances Toner Recycling Program
As part of its continuing commitment to preserving the

environment and reducing landfill waste, Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America

(SIICA) is enhancing its Copier Toner Recycling Program to encourage government and business

customers to recycle Sharp toner cartridges from all Sharp models.

Beginning February 2008, every Sharp-branded copier, printer and multifunctional peripheral (MFP)

toner cartridge sold in the U.S. can be easily recycled at no cost to the customer. Users can simply

download pre-paid, pre-addressed UPS shipping labels from http://www.sharpusa.com/recycle to ship out used toner cartridges. To facilitate bulk

shipments, help conserve resources and reduce energy use, users can also order recycled cardboard

bulk cartons that hold up to ten used cartridges. These cartons arrive via UPS and can be conveniently

placed in the customer’s mailroom or near the copiers for easy collection, and then shipped to one of

three recycling centers nationwide.

“At Sharp, we are committed to maximizing energy resources while also maximizing product

performance,” said Ed McLaughlin, president of SIICA. “This program formalizes our longstanding

recycling efforts and makes the process easy and convenient for the customer.”
