Sustainability is becoming more and more important with a focus on businesses becoming more environmentally-friendly and trying to make sustainable choices in many of their business practices.
A key part of sustainability is recycling and choosing to recycle when possible and choosing to buy items that can be recycled/are better for the environment. Examples of making more sustainable choices include:
- Implementing recycling bins
- Reusing to reduce waste
- Use energy-efficient technology
- Turn lights off at the end of the day
- Buy green products e.g. recycled paper
- Cut out single use plastic cups at a water cooler/taps and have reusable waterbottles or mugs
- Ensuring your paper and cardboard is recycled
When you choose to shred your paperwork with us at UShred, on the Cheshire/Wirral border, you are making a sustainable choice for your business (or household) as we recycle all shredded paper to ensure it is an environmentally-friendly service. We send approx 12 tonnes of shredded paper for recycling at a time which is a huge amount of paper that is then recycled.
Not only is it a sustainable choice, it is also a secure shredding choice as we shred paper work same day as drop off/collection on our industrial cross cut shredder and provide you with a certificate of destruction.
If you are looking to make more sustanable choices then contact us today to find out about how our paper shredding service on the Wirral can help you. You can also find out more information about how we help local businesses with regular monthly cabinet collections by clicking here or you can find out more about ad-hoc paper clear out shredding by clicking here.
Some of our sustainable business choices include:
- Recycling all shredded paper
- We group all our monthly collections together in area’s and collect them all at the same time to reduce fuel emissions
- Choose to work with local recycling companies in North Wales and the North West so that our shredded paper carbon footprint is low and lorrys are not travelling to collect from miles away
- We use recycled paper as much as possible
- We email customers their receipts, VAT invoices and certificates of destruction so we are not printing them out to save on paper
