Environmental issues cover the amount of recycled materials used, the manufacture and handling of consumables and the eventual disposal of the product.
These are the points to consider:
- The proportion of recycled plastics used in manufacture
- Products achieve lower energy usage without loss of performance
- Recycling and refilling of cartridges
- Avoiding materials which prevent recycling
- End of life management
- Take back, trade in or donate schemes
Sharp TV - A good ecological balance
When deciding what materials to use, Sharp emphasise their recyclability while rejecting as far as possible any substances which might pose a health risk. Sharp believe a good ecological balance is also important during the use of the products as they consume the most power when they are in use.
