Life may not owe us a shred, but that is certainly not true with paper shredding services. We owe much to this planet if we ever hope to survive as a species. But the future of shedding services is not all about survival; it is about a thrilling transformation of our surroundings. It is about jotting heads, figuring out ways, and maintaining the new status quo.  

In a constantly evolving world, how must we take care of something as simple as a piece of paper? It may be because we still need to make more efforts to make shredding a lucrative business. Or we are waiting for the future to bring something dynamic and new.  

Current paper shredding methods have some problems and hindrances, making them unpopular. Adding over-reliance on paper for communication and documentation is not helping anyone either. In such cases, we must figure out a way out faster than anticipated. 

What Is Wrong With Paper Shredding Services Now?  

Annually, the US uses paper worth $8 billion (about $25 per person in the US) (about $25 per person in the US). Moreover, a typical office shredder takes more than 200-watt electricity power. Some experts claim that paper decomposes slowly. Others argue that it is a costly endeavor.  

So, what went wrong? What did we do to the one thing that benefited the planet (I.e., recycling, shredding, etc.)?  

Starting from the biggest complaint against using paper shredding, we have additional costs, especially for small businesses and individuals with limited shredding needs. Transportation and shredding equipment prices make it difficult to offer affordable pricing.  

Imagine choosing a non-certified fraud company while being a small business. They can leak or steal your personal information and sensitive documents, which breaks trust and reliance. Not just that, if your organization thinks shredding is enough, you might be missing the storage woes.  

Going back decades, we have yet to find an innovative move that can change the paper shredding process. More R&D is needed to improve efficiency and drive down costs.
