You know that our business is paper shredding. What you may not know is what we do with all of the paper that we shred in our mobile shredding unit. At Shred On Site, we are environmentally conscious. We recycle everything we shred. We believe that paper recycling is one of the most important things we can do as ethical business people.
Environmental Impacts of Recycling
Individuals and businesses are using as much paper as ever. Despite ever evolving technologies, society has not reduced its paper consumption, making paper recycling an absolute necessity. It may seem simple, but recycling paper can have a huge environmental impact.
So just what is recycling, anyway? When something is recycled, it is reprocessed and used to make new goods. There are several ways that recycling can help the environment. One of the most important ways is by saving energy. Making new goods from raw materials uses a huge amount of energy, much more than using recycled materials. When we use less energy, we are also lowering pollution levels and helping to preserve the environment and slow climate change. We are reducing the harvesting and manufacturing of timber products, and therefore decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling also preserves natural resources. No new trees need to be cut down when paper is recycled. Also, because materials are being reused, we don’t have to find more space in the landfills to dispose of them.
What We Do with Our Shredded Paper
At Shred On Site, we take all of our shredded paper directly to a recycling centre. We guarantee that the paper we shred is pulped and recycled into other products such as office paper, tissue paper, pizza boxes, and more. We try our best to make sure that nothing we remove from your office will end up in a landfill. And we don’t just recycle paper; we also shred branded clothing and uniforms. This type of material can also be recycled and used for bedding or insulation.
We make sure we are reducing our environmental footprint by the way we operate our offices and run our vehicles, and we help you do the same by providing a shredding service that is part of your company’s reduce-reuse-recycle ethos. Paper recycling is as important as ever. At Shred On Site, we are committed to recycling all of your documents after they have been shredded on site, so that you know you’re doing your best for the environment, too.
Once you’ve figured out what paper you need to shred in your office, give us a call. We’ll shred everything for you in our mobile shredding unit, and then recycle it. You will have peace of mind knowing that not only are your confidential documents disposed of properly, you are also doing your part to help the environment.
