End of life electronics
& E-Waste
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.
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.
Data Safety
All photocopiers returned to us are sanitised; wiping memories, network settings, and Job logs. If for any reason these tasks cannot be completed, the photocopier is classified as 'End of Life' and sent to the recycler where the hard drives are shredded. If required a certificate can be requested and provided by the recycler confirming the destruction of a hard drive.
