SHREDZONE GOES GREEN!

Going green is more than just a fad – at ShredZone, it’s a way of doing business.

You may know that ShredZone allows for the secure disposal of highly-sensitive personal, business financial, and consumer information. But did you know that ShredZone’s secured paper shredding and paper recycling procedures can help the environment as well?

We are all aware that through proper recycling, less trash and debris is going into our landfills. But the greatest environmental benefit of recycling is the conservation of energy and natural resources, and the prevention of air pollution.

Did you know that milling paper from recycled paper uses 20% less energy than it does to make paper from fresh paper trees grown on tree farms? The output of pollutants caused by additional transportation and chemical cleaning treatment caused by the production of fresh paper trees is significantly reduced by recycling paper.

Did you know that 1000 kg. of paper from recycled material conserves about 7,000 US gal (26,000 L) of water, 17-31 trees and 4,000 kW.h of electricity? That’s a hard-hitting, number-crunching fact that illustrates the importance of why ShredZone has gone green.

In essence, the benefits offered by utilizing the services of ShredZone aren’t simply beneficial to your company’s sensitive documental information and bottom line – they’re good for planet earth as well!
