IT’S THE LAW

According to GDPR, hard copy, confidential waste, such as medical records, salary details or personal address details, legally have to be destroyed. These documents should be shredded before being thrown out to ensure people’s data remains confidential.

TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM IDENTITY THEFT

Identity theft has become a common crime. People with malicious intent can go through your garbage. They’re looking for personal information. Obtaining an individual’s contact information, for example, allows you to apply for a credit card in your name.

TO ENSURE CONSUMER TRUST

By shredding documents and ensuring that customers and consumers are aware of this, the company promotes trust and lets people know that their data is treated securely and with respect.

YOU CAN SAVE TIME

You waste a lot of time manually tearing or cutting documents. Shredding documents is a quick and easy way to get rid of papers that are no longer useful.

TO KEEP A GOOD WORKING MEMORY

Managers have access to confidential documents that directly concern their staff. This includes salary reviews, details of dismissals, disciplinary information and salary scales. 

If another employee can see other employees’ information, it can create a bad atmosphere in the team. Shredding sensitive information will allow companies to avoid creating animosities between employees.

IT MAKES RECYCLING EASIER

The majority of companies wish to highlight their ecological assets. Recycling paper is a way to show customers and competitors that they care about the environment. Shredding documents makes recycling much easier. The shredded paper can be easily put into a bag and then taken to a recycling point or collected by a recycling service.

YOUR BUSINESS DATA WILL REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL

Companies tend to consume a lot of paper. This ranges from meeting notes to personnel information, but also future business development and sales figures.

You can rest easy by shredding the documents.

YOU CAN AVOID CORPORATE ESPIONAGE

It can be very valuable for a competing company. If a competitor gets hold of confidential ideas or plans for your future products, they can develop them. This can result in a huge financial loss for the company.

YOU CAN SAVE ON STORAGE SPACE

Some companies may have old documents or papers that they no longer need. Yet they don’t know how to dispose of them properly. Paper can take up a lot of space in an office. Shredding these documents saves space.
