Partnerships and Programmes
Through innovative partnerships, we drive sustainable practices that support communities and protect ecosystems globally.
At Sharp, our commitment to sustainability extends across our products, operations, and beyond. Through Sharp Eco Vision 2050, we build partnerships with like-minded organisations to tackle climate challenges and make a lasting impact in the communities we serve.
Our partnerships span forestation projects, carbon capture innovations, and environmental education. By working with leaders in sustainable technology and community support, we ensure that our sustainability goals translate into measurable action.
Beyond partnerships, we’re also taking action by setting up our own programmes that help businesses reduce their environmental impact. This includes our New Life initiative where we offer a range of pre-loved printers to our customers, supporting the circular economy while still meeting their needs.

Our Carbon Capture Partnership
In partnership with Atmoz and O.C.O Technology, we support the Brandon Project. This groundbreaking effort utilises Accelerated Carbonation Technology (ACT) to permanently capture and store carbon, and then convert it into manufactured limestone. In doing so, carbon emissions can be reduced and climate resilience can be strengthened worldwide.
Operating at four sites across the UK, the project produces over 500,000 tonnes of Manufactured Limestone (M-LS) annually, which is a sustainable alternative to traditional materials that conserves resources and reduces landfill waste. The impact of this initiative is recognised in the Puro.earth carbon trading platform, where it generates verified, high-quality carbon credits.
New Life Programme Overview
Our New Life programme offers printers a sustainable second life with uncompromised quality and performance.
Through this initiative, we offer a pre-loved range of printers that have been carefully refurbished to meet the highest standards of security, quality, and functionality. For businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact, our New Life printers provide a more sustainable option without compromising on performance.
With this programme, we’re not just recycling hardware: we’re providing ongoing support to keep devices running smoothly throughout their contract. This aligns with our commitment to the circular economy and sustainability, offering businesses a responsible and cost-effective way to meet their printing needs.

PaperCut – Forest Positive Initiative
By planting more trees than the amount used for printing, this programme allows Sharp to effectively offset its environmental impact and actively contribute to reforestation efforts.
