The process of the confidential shredding and recycling of paper is practiced by more than 50 percent of North American companies. However, not all paper products and documents can simply be dropped into the bin for recycling. Confidential business, employee or customer information must be shredded and destroyed, then that paper can be recycled. Incred-A-Shred offers document destruction and recycling services, and we recycle tons of paper per year.
- 7,000 gallons of water and 17 trees are needed to produce 1 ton of paper; more energy is consumed in this process than in producing 1 ton of steel or glass
- 500,000 trees are destroyed to produce the nationwide Sunday newspaper run
- 7 trees a year (in wood products and paper) are consumed by the average American
- 50,000,000 homes could be heated for 20 years with the amount of paper and wood that finds its way to the landfill
- 1 ton of recycled paper will save 17 trees, 380 gallons of oil, 3 cubic yards of landfill space, 4000 kilowatts of energy, and 7000 gallons of water!
Incred-A-Shred also uses the most diesel fuel-efficient engines to shred your documents and paper onsite. It is good for the client and healthy for the environment.
