Shred-it is committed to contributing to a circular economy for paper resources. Shred-it recycles all paper documents it shreds, helping businesses preserve natural resources. Unlike the traditional “blue bin” document disposal method, Shred-it helps businesses achieve some of their sustainability goals without compromising data security. In 2021, Shred-it securely collected and recycled approximately 1.1 billion pounds of shredded sorted office paper, which is the equivalent of the paper that could be harvested from approximately 9 million trees.
