How Easy Is It To Recycle And Reuse Our Shredded Paper?

As much as our team here at Shredded-Paper.co.uk loves our quality shredded paper and will always shout about it, we should probably level with you on a few things. 

You might have read elsewhere that shredded paper isn’t quite the best form of paper from a recycling point of view, due to the practice of cutting paper fibres into short lengths making it trickier to turn shredded paper into good-quality paper pulp for recycling. Some local councils, you may have heard, don’t even collect shredded paper for recycling.

Separating the facts from the myths about shredded paper 

These are issues that we are very aware of, which is why – in the conception and production of our own quality shredded paper – we took care to ensure we offered reusable, recyclable and biodegradable options.

We even hold Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certifications, which should tell you something about our commitment to making our quality shredded paper truly environmentally friendly and sustainable

. 

So, to answer the question set out above… it’s certainly much easier to reuse or recycle our own shredded paper than a lot of the other shredded paper options out there. 

One factor that greatly helps bolster the recyclable and reusable credentials of our quality shredded paper, is its sheer versatility. One often-suggested tip for recycling shredded paper, for instance, is to use it as bedding for a small animal such as a hamster, rabbit or gerbil. 

You might not know, however, that some paper and ink materials are toxic to such animals, which is why you shouldn’t be using just any old paper you’ve torn up for this purpose. We’ve heard about our shredded paper being used as bedding for rescued hedgehogs, for example, so you’ll know it’s ‘tried and tested’ when it comes to this purpose! 

Eco-friendliness and sustainability are watchwords across everything we do 

You may have found yourself on the site of Shredded-Paper.co.uk due to a need for quality shredded paper for a relatively obvious and common application, such as packaging. And sure enough, we have a great track record of catering to the requirements of business customers, such as those running eBay businesses that have needed to pack goods well for mailing during the pandemic. 

However, our paper has also been used for the likes of the hamper packaging, craft boxes, house moves, the filling of paddling pools, and so much more. 

Unlike some shredded paper, all of our paper is 100% recyclable, with even the packaging that we send your shredded paper in when you order from us being recyclable. In the case of orders of more than 1kg, recyclable cardboard boxes are used, while for smaller orders, we use shipping bags that are made from a recycled product and can be recycled in turn. 

Why not, then, request your free samples of our quality shredded paper from us today, or browse our store to discover the wide range of possibilities for both straight-cut and zig-zag shredded paper?
