Why do we need confidential shredding?
UK business owners are legally obliged to keep data privacy, protection and compliance in check. The introduction of the Data Protection Act 2018 brought the need for extra care to be taken with how personal data is collected, stored and managed.
Anyone responsible for using personal data must abide by the data protection principles. Specifically, they must make sure information is, “handled in a way that ensures appropriate security, including protection against unlawful or unauthorised processing, access, loss, destruction or damage”.
You want to keep the records of everyone involved in your business in the safest hands. Incidents, such as identity theft, could land you a hefty fine if you fail to keep your house in order.
Paper shredding and recycling
As well as taking the confidential shredding of your data documents seriously, we hold the state of the environment in high regard. And, following the Waste Hierarchy, we always recycle rather than dispose of waste to landfill where possible.
- Shred
- Pulp
- Recycle
First, we will take care of your document shredding, safely and securely, via one of our bulk paper shredding machines. Second, the paper will be pulped so that the sheets are broken down into fibres and the content is no longer legible. Third, your pulped paper will be recycled and used to create new goods such as newspapers and toilet paper. Easy as 1,2,3 your unrecognisable confidential waste will have a new lease of life!
