Recycling Solutions

Shredfast recycling offers extensive document destruction and other recycling solutions. Businesses can produce a range of waste products and you may not be aware of the scope and methods of destruction and recycling available for many of these office materials.

These days it is important to reduce waste as much as possible and Shredfast recycling has developed a range of solutions to deal with various items that might simply be thrown away. Not only does our service greatly reduce waste, it offers total security for your confidential items.

CDs and DVDs
Because CDs and DVDs can contain confidential information, they should definitely not be thrown in the normal rubbish. The plastic and metal components can be shredded into small granules (rendering the information unreadable) and then compressed to form logs for wood fires. This in turn reduces the need for cutting down trees for firewood.

Credit Cards
Credit cards and other cards containing personal information need to be destroyed for security reasons. The Shredfast recycling system places cards into a specially designed machine that breaks them into particles of approximately 4mm. These particles are mixed with organic material to create booster fertilisers.

Fluorescent Lights
Fluorescent lights contain mercury and can be very hazardous if not disposed of correctly. If they are placed in a garbage bin broken – or more likely, if they break whilst being collected from bins – they can release unsafe levels of mercury. They need to be disposed of efficiently under strict environmental guidelines. To dispose of them correctly they are placed in a specialised bin and heated so that the mercury vaporises and is then condensed into liquid mercury, which can be reused.

Shredfast recycling has built state-of-the-art systems to develop a number of specialised recycling solutions for office waste. We believe that as urban areas continue to grow it is necessary to look for solutions to waste problems that will reduce landfill, cut the need for the use of primary materials and contribute to greener processes.

We also recycle PET plastic which, along with hard drives and CDs/DVDs, is used to create logs for fires; cardboard and packaging materials are recycled to egg cartons and recycled packaging; and white paper is recycled office paper, toilet paper and a range of other products, and old aluminium cans are recycled to make new aluminium cans.
