Secure Shredding and Recycling...

At some point your documents will reach the end of their life cycle and when they do, you will need to dispose of them securely and in an environmentally friendly way.

If a document contains any confidential information, you are legally obliged to dispose of them separately from your normal waste as stated in the Data Protection Act 1998.

The Archive Warehouse will, upon your authority, securely shred your confidential document, recycle them in an environmentally friendly way and issue you with a secure destruction certificate.

Mitigate your risk...

If you fail to dispose of your confidential information securely, you are placing yourself at risk of fines from the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), potentially amounting to £500,000 per breach.

If your organisation is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), there is the potential for unlimited fines being applicable.

In addition to the risk of fines, there is the reputational damage that an organisation can suffer should they be responsible for a breech so it is important to use a trusted partner to ensure your secure shredding is done properly.

The environmental aspect

In addition to organisations needing to mitigate their risk by using a secure shredding and recycling service, many organisation have to demonstrate their corporate and social responsibility, and responsible recycling is one of those requirements. 

Here at The Archive Warehouse, all documents and records being securely shredded have the waste bi-products recycled and done in an ethical and environmentally friendly way.
