Why Textiles Get Shredded

Shredding to protect your data/personal information extends further than just documents and technologies. As a company or service you hold a brand or a standard that you may not want to be repurposed or found in public use. 

Brand Protection

Whether you are a distributor or a company with a personal brand, you don't want others to profit off your name or to reuse products with your name for the wrong purposes. Things as simple as old shirts, hats, linens, blankets, hoodies etc. that may bear your logo or name should be shredded to help protect your company's reputation. Businesses like  hotels, restaurants and even clothing stores have all started shredding old clothing or band uniforms. 

Uniform shredding 

Those in the protective services also have to use textile shredding. Police, firefighters and EMS uniforms all get shredded if they are no longer in use due to safety reasons or just normal wear. Uniforms like these can not be donated or thrown out because we have to be sure that the uniforms do not get into the wrong hands, and there is no chance of impersonations. Even contaminated scrubs can be shredded to ensure they are getting properly disposed of.
