Unlike shredded paper, stamped documents are recyclable, making Guard Your ID a great alternative to a shredder.
Why is shredded paper an issue? It is hard to believe, since we all think recycling shredded paper would be helpful to the environment, but in actuality, shredded paper is very difficult to recycle. In fact, many recycling and waste centers will not even accept shredded paper and will send it directly to the landfill.
Why is shredded paper so difficult to recycle? Shredding paper into small pieces destroys the long fiber lengths, and makes the paper virtually unusable in the recycling process. It degrades the quality of the paper, increasing costs and complicating the system. The small strips wreak havoc on the recycling facilities, falling through their screens, getting mixed up with other recycled materials, and basically making a huge mess.
Guard Your ID Rollers offer a greener alternative to shredding. They are an easy, less time-consuming solution that assists, instead of burdening, the recycling process.
