Document shredding
Secure Shredding: Secure Document Destruction
Plastic Expert understands the importance of privacy – that’s why we also offer a secure paper shredding service. Shredding is an ideal way of minimising security risks, protecting sensitive data and preventing possible identity theft. Shredding companies comply with the Data Protection Act and GDPR, so this is a secure way of destroying business documents. We can help your business by disposing of your confidential documents, ensuring that you don’t receive any fines.
Showing your customers and your employees that you shred confidential information that you no longer need will increase the confidence that they have in your business. They put their trust in you that you will handle their information correctly – so you want to show them that you take it seriously and dispose of it responsibly when the time comes.
Our secure site shredding services will also help by saving your business not only time but also money, disposing of the data responsibly and effectively. If you had an in-office shredder, it is clear that it could be costly in the long run, because of keeping up with maintenance, any repairs that are needed and updates. Important information might also not be disposed of correctly, opening up an array of issues in the long term.

FAQs
Secure product destruction is the controlled, witnessed disposal of goods that must not re-enter the market; obsolete stock, branded seconds, counterfeit items, recalled products or failed QC batches. The goods are rendered unusable and unidentifiable, then recycled where possible, with a certificate issued as proof.
Yes. Every job is issued with a Certificate of Destruction confirming what was destroyed, the quantity, the date and the method used. That document is what your brand protection, insurance or HMRC records rely on.
No. Wherever the material allows, destroyed goods are separated by material stream and recycled. Plastics are granulated, cardboard is baled for reprocessing and metals are recovered. We confirm the outcome on the certificate.
Our confidential disposal service is tailored to the specific needs of the business, which allows you to carry on with your business operations whilst knowing that your information is being dealt with correctly. This may include employee payslips, invoices, bank statements, letters, emails and customer information.
