Sorting

In our factory, the sorting process is crucial. Each bin includes an information panel specifying acceptable contents—only materials needing secure shredding should be placed in these bins. Ensure your documents are free from contaminants and non-shreddable items to expedite the sorting process. Contaminants such as household trash, food remnants, and non-document materials may incur additional handling fees.

Shredding and baling

Documents and other shreddable materials are loaded onto conveyors leading to a large industrial shredder, capable of processing thick stacks of paper into 16mm crumbled and compacted pieces, ensuring a secure level of destruction. The resulting shredded material, resembling white wood chip mulch, is then compacted into bales for easy handling and disposal. This process provides top-grade security for your sensitive information.

Ready for recycling

After document shredding, the compacted paper bales are transported to paper mills where they undergo recycling. Here, your shredded documents are transformed into new paper products like toilet paper and cardboard. Our meticulous sorting processes ensure that the shredded paper is ideal for recycling, minimising environmental impact. Additionally, non-paper materials like plastic and metal found in the shredding process are sent to the appropriate recycling facilities. This holistic approach underscores our commitment to sustainability in document shredding and recycling.

FAQs

What happens to the shredded paper?

After your documents are securely shredded (into 13mm confetti pieces), the pulp is sent to paper mills (in Australia and overseas) so it can be recycled into various products.

How do I know you’ve shredded my documents?

As a high-volume, secure shredding company that empties all vehicles at least once a day, you can be confident that your documents will be shredded promptly. If required for your compliance or audits, we can provide destruction certificates for your destroyed goods.

Do you recycle the paper?

While Cut2Shreds isn’t a recycling facility, we do play an important part in the process. After documents are shredded, we send the pulp to recycling businesses.
