In a sector that is the backbone of the UK economy – particularly during the turbulence caused by the pandemic – many warehousing and logistics firms are busier than ever. But the rising volume of goods being handled can mean increasing quantities of ‘waste’ that is difficult to store, handle and recycle. So, whether your priority is volume reduction, recycling and recovery, or the environmentally-sound secure destruction of sensitive materials, trust an UNTHA shredder.
Increasingly busy sites mean businesses are handling more goods – therefore packaging and production ‘waste’ levels are on the up, and on-site space is at a premium. Storing materials – particularly bulky waste such as cardboard packaging, crates and polypropylene strap – is not always easy.
Materials due to be collected for off-site reuse, recycling or recovery, need to be volume reduced to maximise transport efficiencies/load capacities and drive down collection costs.
Some logistics ‘waste’ – such as customer returns’ labels and paperwork – must be destroyed before being skipped, due to data protection regulations. End-of-line and/or defective products must also be handled securely, to prevent ‘black market’ trade.
The carbon impact of the ecommerce boom is under sharp scrutiny, with firms in this sector being pressured to enhance their corporate social responsibility (CSR) stance. Saying no to landfill by reusing, recycling and recovering materials, is an obvious starting point.

“We only invest in best-in-class technology. The market is crowded with shredders we could have used, but we opted for the most proven solution in terms of reliability, throughputs and confidential waste destruction compliance.”
Lee Spendlove, managing director
“With a facility the size of five football pitches, we needed a shredder that was ‘tough enough’ for the job. We therefore began our market research and UNTHA clearly stood out as an industry leader. A consultation with one of UNTHA’s wood shredding experts – plus a visit to see the technology in action – convinced us this was the machine for us.”
