Once our clients’ data has been destroyed, loose paper shreds are baled into 1.2 tonne blocks (250,000 shredded A4 pages). These bales are then graded to international specifications under the Shred-X quality assured program. There are over 50 international grades ranging from white ledger to mixed office coloured waste.
After the paper shreds have been baled they are then ready to be recycled. All the graded bales are available for sale to paper manufacturers as substitute for virgin pulp. Shred-X recovered shredded fibres are used to manufacture toilet tissue, paper towel products and a variety of other items. This process has a very positive effect on the environment, not only saving huge amounts of energy and reducing landfill and land clearing, but also significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Shred-X work with government certified agencies in providing its customers with a comprehensive Environmental Certificate on a regular basis that is a direct consequence of the paper fibre recovered and recycled using Shred-X Document Destruction’s Quality Assured Destruction process.
