Shredding is environment-friendly

Shredding paper makes it easier for you to recycle paper. Most handmade paper products actually came from old paper documents and old newspapers that were shredded.

Here's how shredding paper helps the environment:

-- It saves water. Billions of gallons of water are needed to produce new paper each year. The more you recycle paper, the more you significantly reduce this number. The water saved can be stored or used for other things.

-- It saves the trees. The more you re-use paper products, the less wood will be needed to make new paper.

-- Reduce landfill. The less you throw away old paper for good, the less waste goes to landfills.

-- It promotes clean air. Paper production brings about carbon dioxide and air pollution, so the more you recycle, the less need for using big machines and equipment that emit unfriendly gases.
