Confidential waste disposal in the UK is mainly governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018, which require all personal and sensitive information to be handled and destroyed securely.
Other relevant laws include the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011, which set out your duty of care for waste storage, transport, and disposal. Depending on your sector, additional rules such as FCA regulations, NHS Information Governance standards, and the Freedom of Information Act 2000 may also apply.
At Restore Datashred, we comply with all UK legislation and recognised standards, including ISO 27001, to make sure every item we destroy is managed securely, ethically, and in full compliance with the law. Please find out more on our accreditations page.
Once confidential documents are securely shredded, the paper is baled and sent to an approved recycling mill. There, it is pulped, processed and recycled into new paper products, such as tissue or office paper, so that the original information can never be reconstructed. None of your shredded material is sent to landfill, helping your organisation meet its sustainability and compliance goals without compromising security.
We work with organisations of all sizes and sectors across the UK, including financial services, healthcare, legal, education, public sector, retail, and more. Each industry has its own compliance requirements, and our services are designed to meet these as best as possible. From confidential paper shredding to secure destruction of media assets, uniforms, and products, we help businesses protect data, maintain compliance, and demonstrate best practice in information security. Whether you’re a local business or a national organisation, Restore Datashred provides trusted, accredited, and sustainable data destruction solutions.
