Environmental Product Innovations

Sharp’s goal is to minimize the environmental impact of our products by
continually implementing and improving product technologies, designs
and programs aimed at environmental conservation, from the materials
used in the manufacture and packaging of our products, to their
transportation, use and safe disposal at the end of their product life.

environmental requirements.

Recycling

Consistent with our vision to contribute to the world through environment
and health conscious business, focusing on energy-saving and energy-
creating products, Sharp Electronics strives to conduct our business
operations in an environmentally conscious manner. We support the
industry call for a unified, national program to address the recycling of
end-of-life electronics products in the United States. We are committed
to making our products easier to recycle, and we continue to work
toward that goal.

The handling of end-of-life electronic products is best addressed
through cooperative and collaborative efforts. As an example, every
year since its inception in 2003, Sharp has received the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency's "Plug-in to eCycling" Award for
participating in and contributing to collection events for discarded
electronics. Since the Plug-in to eCycling program's inception, Sharp
has supported more than 650 Plug-in events that collected and recycled
15.4 million pounds of electronics. In 2007 alone, over 100 Sharp
supported events collected and recycled 2.25 million pounds of
electronics.

In January 2008, Sharp, in partnership with Panasonic and Toshiba,
announced the formation of Electronics Manufacturers Recycling
Management Company (MRM) in the United States to efficiently manage
collection and recycling programs. During its first year of operation in
Minnesota, MRM has collected and processed 11 million pounds of end-
of-life electronics products, making it the largest program in the state.

In February 2008, we expanded our national Copier Toner Recycling
Program, which enables business and government customers to recycle
used Sharp-branded copier, printer and multifunctional peripheral (MFP)
toner cartridges sold in the United States at no cost.

Sharp is proud to have been recognized for our commitment to
environmentally-friendly practices and business operations. Our core
business philosophy is to aim for mutual prosperity with stakeholders by
contributing to the culture, benefits, and welfare of people throughout
the world, and thus, reducing our impact on the environment is as
important to us as improving the scope of our technology.

ENERGY STAR® Qualified Products
ENERGY STAR® is a voluntary Environmental Protection Agency
program to promote energy efficient products. ENERGY STAR®
qualified models are those with advanced technologies which use 10-
50% less energy than the standard products in their categories. Sharp
manufactures ENERGY STAR® qualified models in a wide range of
products, including televisions, computers, copiers, printers, monitors,
facsimiles, air conditioners and air purifiers. Many of these models

Plug-In to E-Cycling Program
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Plug-In to eCycling”
program is a voluntary partnership created to reduce the environmental
impact of electronic products during their production, use and disposal,
The EPA partners with electronics manufacturers, retailers, recyclers
and government agencies to collect and safely recycle used equipment
such as cell phones, computers and audio and video equipment. Sharp
has actively participated in the program since its inception in 2003, and
has been recognized by the EPA for its performance in this program
every year from 2003 to the present.







Energy Efficient Product Transportation
Sharp was one of the first members of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s SmartWaysm Transport Partnership program. This voluntary
alliance establishes incentives for fuel efficiency improvements and
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions through creating partnerships,
reducing unnecessary engine idling, and increasing the efficiency and
use of rail and intermodal operations. The EPA recognized Sharp’s
legacy of environmental responsibility with its “SmartWay Excellence
Award” in 2006, 2007 and 2008. For more information about SmartWay
