paper recycling
The environment is currently going through a transition period. The ozone layer is becoming vastly effected and is the main cause of numerous problems globally.12.5 million tonnes of paper and cardboard are used annually in the UK.
Shred First UK strongly believes that being environmentally friendly is an important part of our service.
Recycled paper produces 73% less air pollution than if it were made from raw materials.
After your classified materials have been destroyed, the Shred First UK mobile shredding truck will then transport the shredded paper to a local recycling centre. The Shred First UK service is not complete until the paper has been fully recycled. We therefore continue to maintain our contribution towards a greener environment.
Each tonne of recycled paper can save 17 trees.
Shred First UK will provide you with a certificate of recycling at your request, to show how you and your company has contributed to a greener environment.
