Toner Recycling
Toner Cartridges and Collection Containers Recycling Initiative
Sharp Electronics of Canada Ltd. is committed to conduct business operations and activities in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment.
Sharp’s commitment to promote the development of environmentally conscious products has resulted in products that are energy efficient, require minimal resources to produce, are made with easily recyclable materials, have greater product lifecycle, and easy to disassemble for recycling at end of life.
To further this commitment we have expanded our Toner Cartridge Recycling program to include recycling of all empty toner cartridges and toner collection containers from photocopiers, network printers, and facsimile products. Through this program we will be diverting empty toner cartridges from ending up in our landfill sites.
Are You Returning Toner Cartridges?
Four Simple Steps
Use only the packaging from your new toner; do not use any other packaging. Place used toner cartridge or full toner collection container in the carton and seal with packing tape.
Please return when possible, eight to ten empty toner cartridges or collection containers per shipping label to help conserve resources, reduce energy use and shipping costs.
Place them in a used cardboard carton and seal, or you may also bundle multiple individual boxes together securely with tape. When bundling multiple cartridge boxes, please make sure you have no more than two rows of four cartridge boxes across.
