About
our Company
For over 20 years, Shred-X has been the industry leader in secure and certified destruction of sensitive data. With 11 NAID AAA certified facilities and operations located in all States and Territories of Australia, we offer the most extensive direct service coverage in the market.
Beyond secure destruction, we’ve always been on a mission to find landfill diversion opportunities for the waste streams we process. It’s where our roots were planted back in 1999 when we began as Australian Paper Recycling in South East Queensland, recycling the paper which we collected, just as it is today into new paper products.
Since 2001, Shred-X expanded its solutions by building a national logistics network, processing centres and attaining the highest industry certifications in information security, safety and quality – while maintaining a focus on our responsibility to the environment. Our tailored solutions ensure your business is compliant with Privacy legislation, protect your proprietary assets and are designed to work with you in advancing your environmental goals. The combination of these qualities in our service has resulted in the brand many Australians have come to know and trust.
In 2007, our national expansion and ability to pioneer waste transformation initiatives advanced when Shred-X was acquired by Freightways Limited, an ANZ publicly-listed company. Backed by Freightways, Shred-X expanded to provide certified destruction, recycling and repurposing solutions for a myriad of materials other than paper, including IT and data assets, media, uniforms and dated & contraband products.
Today Shred-X also provides a range of innovative destruction and recycling solutions for textiles and clothing, ensuring ethical landfill diversion for materials which previously had no other disposal alternative. These landfill diversion solutions include waste-to-energy and recycling, with various new technologies currently being explored, which are at the heart of mission and our vision at Shred-X.
A FRAMEWORK BUILT ON SUSTAINABLE GOALS
In 2017, Freightways identified specific United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) to form our key framework for making and tracking sustainable change in the world. Shred-X is actively working towards these goals with a focus on SDG 9: building resilient infrastructure, promoting sustainable industrialisation and fostering innovation.
