Sharp Recycling Programmes – A Smarter Way to Reduce Waste.

We don’t just create technology—we take responsibility for its entire lifecycle.

From product innovation to packaging, we strive to reduce our environmental impact and make it easier for our customers to do the same.

Toner Cartridge Recycling – Free and Hassle-Free

Sharp offers a free nationwide toner recycling programme that makes it simple to do the right thing. Instead of tossing used cartridges into landfill, send them back to us for responsible recycling.

How it works:

  • Collect your used toner cartridges in the box they came in.

  • When the box is full, seal it and return it using the pre-paid courier label.

  • We’ll handle the rest—ensuring the cartridges are broken down and recycled through approved processing facilities.

Benefits:

  • Completely free for Sharp customers.

  • Reduces plastic waste and extends the lifecycle of valuable materials.

  • Keeps your workplace eco-friendly and compliant with sustainable practices.

E-Waste Recycling - Closing the Loop on Technology

As part of our commitment to a circular economy, Sharp New Zealand accepts a range of Sharp electronic products for end-of-life recycling. This includes:

  • Printers and multifunction devices
  • Monitors and displays
  • Whiteware and home appliances

We partner with licensed e-waste recyclers to ensure all accepted items are dismantled and processed in an environmentally responsible way. Where possible, parts are recovered and reused, helping to reduce the need for virgin materials and decrease the burden on landfills.

What we accept:

  • End-of-life Sharp-branded products
  • Some packaging and accessories (contact us for details)
  • Commercial and consumer-grade electronics

Where to recycle:

  • Drop off at select Sharp service centres
  • Or request pickup for larger items through your Sharp account manager (business customers only).

What will happen when we pick up your old printer when it comes off lease?

First our Service Team will evaluate the state of the machine. Through our refurbishment programme, it's our goal to maximise the lifecycle of products. This means reducing energy use from the manufacture and supply chain, as well as the reduction of landfill and unrecyclable materials.
In 2020, 35% of all Multi-Functional Devices machines sold were through our refurbishment program.

Sharp's accredited with the Product Stewardship Scheme by the Minister for the Environment. The scheme incorporates recycling of all our electrical and electronic products. All multifunction and consumer electronics products are assessed to see if they can be reused or recycled.
