UNTHA UK concentrates on what it does best – waste shredding – however the team has a growing network of engineering partners too. Where required, UNTHA can therefore recommend and offer complete waste solutions, typically including material conveying and separation equipment such as magnets, screens wind-shifters, and waste balers.

  • We’ve been running our shredder for a number of years - it’s the backbone of our recycling infrastructure. But just like a beloved car, the time had come to look for a new machine. We didn’t even realise that a rebuild was an option, but UNTHA walked us through the process, coordinated everything, and the shredder came back, but for 50% less outlay than a new machine!
