Shredders for Recycling - Waste and Recycling
The waste hierarchy has become the foundation of the UK’s resource strategy, reminding organisations large and small – not to mention the general public – of the need to think carefully about what we do with seemingly redundant materials.
The reduction of waste at source will always remain the priority – prevention is cheaper than cure, after all. But for as long as some people, at least, live with a throwaway mindset, we need to also remember the subsequent layers of the famous waste triangle.
After reuse, comes recycle – one of the most popular drivers for an UNTHA shredder investment. Whether processing plastics or WEEE, confidential waste or metals, it is possible to size-reduce so many material streams to aid their onward recycling.
What role does shredding play in recycling?
Size reduction - bulky items are costly to store and transport, so in the most simplistic of terms, shredding can reduce the volume of the materials so that it is easier, cheaper and more environmentally efficient to take them from A to B for recycling.
Which recycling applications can UNTHA shredders help to improve?
