A comment about the value of Auto Feed Shredders from Harry at Shredder Sales

Recently I was confronted with the task of shredding a large pile of paper, about 30cm high. We were preparing a high-capacity cross-cut office shredder for sale as part of our pre-delivery/QA processes prior to shipping. While preparing this extra-large office shredder which is designed for shredding very large volumes quickly in busy offices with many users, I was given the job of shredding this large stack of paper from our administration department.

There is increasing consumer awareness surrounding additional packaging including plastic bubble wrap, polystyrene and cardboard being used to ensure that products purchased online, are well protected and arrive in good order. No doubt suppliers are well aware of this fact with rising packaging expenses.

With buying behaviours trending more towards online, many suppliers of goods are reaching out to find more environmentally responsible, sustainable

Waste Less - Recycle More

Play Your Part as we Transition to a Circular Economy

New South Wales government environmental protection programs are in place with initiatives to provide free help and support to businesses. By educating businesses, government environmental protection initiatives help maximise recycling by diverting waste that would otherwise be abandoned to landfill. It also helps save time and money, while caring for our environment.

Roughly 70% of the things in a business’s general waste bin can be reused or recycled. From cardboard, paper, aluminium and plastic through to food waste – so much of this ends up in the general waste bin, when it could be repurposed, converted or recycled.

COVID-19 has really influenced the way many businesses operate day to day. Working from home is becoming more common as it greatly reduces the risk of transmission, thanks to its social distancing aspect.

As we work from home more often, the more documents/paperwork can pile up. In many industries, this paperwork contains sensitive information regarding the employer’s business information, personal information about clients and employees. So the need to handle this information security is still the same as it would be in your normal workplace.

But now you are working from home, having a secure bin at your home office is not appealing to your decor or even practical because of the high costs involved. So your best solution is likely a well suited paper shredder.
