Consumer Resources


Sharp is dedicated to providing consumers with detailed information about our products and their use. We want to ensure that you have the resources you need for informed buying decisions, proper setup, high-quality performance, safe handling and effective recycling of all our products at the end of their lifetime.

Safety Data Sheets

Safety Data Sheets (SDS) contain information regarding the chemicals used in products or supplies, such as toner used by business copiers and printers.

To view the SDS for current models, choose a specific model, scroll to the bottom of the page and select "Product Safety." To view the SDS for an older model, visit the Product Downloads page.

Mercury Education

LCD screens incorporating a fluorescent backlight contain a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information please contact your local authorities, the USEPA, or the Interstate Mercury Education & Reduction Clearinghouse (IMERC).

Environmentally Conscious Product Design

Sharp is committed to setting new standards for energy efficiency as well as continually improving products and the materials used in their manufacture. We offer a wide range of ENERGY STAR® qualified models, many of which employ patented technology for reducing energy usage without sacrificing reliability. We strive to produce our products and their packaging in an environmentally conscious fashion, incorporating recycled materials and plant-based paints and resins. We design our products for durability, with parts that are easily dismantled for recycling at the end of their long lifetime.
