subject: Cardboard Shredding Equipment Uses: 3 Big Benefits For Business [print this page] Able to cut both straight and mesh patterns, card shredders are powerful devices for industrial use. As well as card, you can use powerful cardboard shredding machines to destroy sensitive documents. For example, they are used in hospitals to destroy sensitive deceased patient notes. Powerful shredding machines are even capable of working their way through card up to one inch thick.
So what are the main benefits of a cardboard shredder? There are three main benefits to owning such a machine and they are very useful for companies with plenty of incoming cardboard.
Let's consider a operation that has large volumes of card boxes arriving. An example might be a supermarket. Incoming boxes and packing material need processing before being removed (for a price!) as waste card. The time that it takes to break down the card boxes can be as easily spent shredding the card.
With this in mind, here is a primary advantage for card shredding machines in your enterprise. If you are marketing items that are couriered directly to the customer, you can recycle the card that has been shredded as packet filler. You now produce less waste and reuse a free resource. Your packaging and waste removal fees are both reduced.
Secondly, there is a green gain. Shout it out from the rooftops that you are now reusing your waste cardboard to make card void filler rather than sending it to landfill. You should ensure that your green practices give you a competitive advantage. You can also use this to either pass savings on to customers or make bigger profits with petty changes to your business processes.
But what if you cannot utilize your incoming card as spacer and you have to get rid of it? There are still ways to gain from your cardboard waste even if you don't need packet filler. Sell it! Once you have shredded the cardboard, you can sell it to customers who want animal bedding or void filling. Stables and equestrian centres as well as pet stores make fitting customers for your excess shredded cardboard waste cardboard.
