Shredding physical documents and paperwork is considered an ideal way to ensure that this kind of information can\u2019t be stolen or used by anyone after it\u2019s no longer needed by whoever held it previously.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, with environmental concerns high on the agenda for every organisation and company, there have been widespread concerns that shredded paper isn\u2019t very planet-friendly and can be difficult to recycle.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It does take specialist equipment to recycle shredded paper effectively, so it needs to be dealt with separately to other recyclable waste. This is why businesses need to ensure that their documents that require destruction are collected and stored separately before being shredded and are sent for recycling by a dedicated provider of that service. This will ensure that it does end up being responsibly recycled into new paper products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At EvaStore, we offer a range of shredding options, depending on your business needs. From one-off shredding to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a regular, scheduled service, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;we can carry out <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shredding on-site <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or off-site as<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> required. We pledge to recycle 100% of all the paper that we shred, at local UK mills, which means that not only is the negative impact on the environment reduced, but it also invests in the local economy. Recycled paper is commonly used in products like printer paper, paper towels, cardboard, newspapers, magazine and toilet roll.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recycling paper not only reduces the need for more trees to be cut down, it is also a process that has a significantly lower carbon footprint than creating new paper from raw materials, so is doubly beneficial.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use our shredding services, you can rest assured that your former sensitive documents are being securely and responsibly destroyed and recycled. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center\"><div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"max-width:500px;background-color:rgb(62, 170, 228);\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Additional Services We Offer:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/shredding\/\">Document Shredding<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/scanning\/\">Document Scanning<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/secure-vault-storage\/\">Vault Storage<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/services\/cataloguing\/\">Cataloguing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1249386314\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1162329621\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1412416335\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/contact-us\/\" class=\"button primary expand\"  >\n    <span>Get In touch<\/span>\n  <\/a>\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1361062267\" class=\"col medium-3 small-12 large-3\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":16171,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[2579,2221,2223,3139,578,630,2910,2926,2667,668,2262,3261,2224],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16143"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16143"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16172,"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16143\/revisions\/16172"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16143"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/documentstorage.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=16143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
