We recycle 100% of paper waste, as well as cardboard and electronic waste including mobile phones and hard drives.

Like many organisations today, we're aware of the need to reduce our environmental impact. With the new Simpler Recycling regulations, there has never been a more critical time for businesses to implement effective strategies for managing their commercial recycling. We're committed to ensuring that none of the waste we collect or create goes to landfill, and we're proud that 100% of the paper we shred is recycled.

We're happy to be able to offer our customers a range of recycling services, including: paper recycling, cardboard recycling, takeaway cup recycling, computer recycling and bulk recycling.

How do we recycle?

All paper and cardboard that we shred is baled at our recycling depots and sent to an environmentally approved and accredited mill on the United Kingdom, where it's made into tissue products and new packaging material.

We can get through 320 tonnes of waste paper in a day at the Shredall SDS Group premises, and our mobile machines run at an output of 3,000kg per hour. That’s a lot of shredded paper, and recycling it helps to:

Reduce future rainforest destruction
Reduce energy consumption from the manufacture of new materials
Reduce the amount of paper waste going to landfill
Reduce the emission of harmful gasses, like methane into the atmosphere.
Reduce future oil usage
Reduce future electricity usage

We also recycle electronic waste, which is sent to our WEEE-approved recycling partner. To arrange a collection or shredding date for your business, contact us today.
