Confidential & Secure Destruction
If your business handles personal or sensitive data, you have a responsibility to keep it safe from identity theft and data breaches. That means following strict protocols for destroying confidential information and shredding documents containing sensitive data.
You might also need to securely destroy items to ensure customer safety, prevent unauthorised re-sale and protect your brand. Secure shredding guarantees materials are processed to the highest security classifications. This ensures that they can no can no longer be identified and are recycled to create solid recovered fuel, providing energy from waste.
