100% Recycling of Water

The Kameyama Plant uses up to 9‚000 tons of water a day in manufacturing. 100% of the water used is collected and recycled‚ using a micro-organism treatment and wastewater purification process. Sharp has also adopted a system called the organic sludge reduction system‚ which uses the strong oxidation properties of ozone to reduce excess sludge. The system dramatically reduces sludge discharge from wastewater treatment facilities and can contribute to the achievement of zero discharge.

Sharp is also using micro-organisms to treat odor-causing materials (bio deodorization using peat moss) so that no offensive odors are generated in the wastewater treatment process.
