What is uniform destruction and shredding?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Uniform destruction is similar to document or media destruction. It\u2019s designed to destroy any uniforms that could be used in criminal activities or reveal important information about a company or its employees. These uniforms maybe out of date, faulty, damaged or redundant, but could still pose a threat to a company or individuals if they got into the wrong hands.<\/p>\n

Uniform destruction is the process of textile shredding in order to stop any potential criminal activity. These destructions can be done on a regular basis for large companies, or on an ad-hoc basis for smaller companies.<\/p>\n

With sustainability no longer a \u2018nice to have\u2019, but rather an essential item on any company\u2019s agenda, recycling your stocks of textiles brings massive benefits to the world about us, as well as to your ESG goals, and your business reputation.<\/p>\n

Failure to destroy out of date branded clothing or uniforms could lead to unauthorised access of sensitive information or areas, which\u00a0could lead to a breach of GDPR.<\/p>\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How does uniform destruction and shredding work?<\/h2>\n

At Restore Datashred, we can provide security sacks or secure wheelie bins for your unwanted textiles. Alternatively, if it\u2019s a regular, scheduled collection we can provide a secure bin for the service.<\/p>\n

Once the bags or bins are full, one of our fleet will come to pick up the uniforms. Uniforms sent to Restore Datashred for destruction are shredded beyond recognition and baled at the high security facility.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll provide you with a certification of proof of destruction for your peace of mind.<\/p>\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\n
