Industrial paper shredding is a crucial process in the paper and recycling industry. WEIMA offers customized solutions for shredding production waste efficiently and in a resource-saving manner.
With our high-performance shredders, companies turn their paper waste into valuable raw materials that can be fed back into the production cycle. Discover how our technology helps to reduce costs and promote sustainability.
Paper production generates large quantities of waste such as paper bales, paper cuttings, paper rolls and paper sheets, which need to be processed in an economical and environmentally friendly way. WEIMA shredders shred these efficiently, reduce the volume and prepare the material for recycling.
This saves companies disposal costs and conserves resources. Industrial paper shredding is a key process in the recycling industry. WEIMA offers solutions for converting waste into valuable raw materials that can be fed back into the production cycle while conserving resources. This reduces costs and promotes sustainability.
Our industrial shredders are versatile and suitable for a wide range of paper materials. Whether document shredding, corrugated cardboard or newspaper rolls – WEIMA offers the right technology for every challenge. Thanks to flexible customization options, such as the choice of different screen sizes, our machines can optimally adapt the shredded material to the needs of your company.
With the rapid growth of online retail, the demand for corrugated cardboard and cardboard packaging, which are essential for shipping packaging, is also increasing. As a result, there is an increasing focus on the sustainable disposal and recycling of these materials. Corrugated cardboard, a main component in waste paper recycling, plays a central role in the recycling loop, as its recycling is not only ecologically sensible but also economically important.
“Paper recycling is on the rise. In Europe, over 70% of waste paper is already recycled.”

Paper shredding is crucial for the production of new pulp from recycled paper. WEIMA shredders efficiently shred paper waste such as bales, rolls and sheets and optimally prepare the material for pulp production. Precise shredding technology recovers valuable fibres and minimizes raw material losses. In this way, WEIMA helps to reduce costs and promote sustainable, resource-conserving production.
In addition to paper processing, WEIMA also offers specialized solutions for the secure destruction of files and data carriers. Companies must dispose of sensitive documents, hard disks and other data carriers in compliance with data protection regulations. Our shredders ensure that these materials are completely and irretrievably shredded. Many companies therefore have special data protection containers available for collection. These are collected by the relevant service providers and destroyed, i.e. shredded, either on site or at a central external location.
Pulper plait recycling offers the paper industry a sustainable solution for recycling production waste. Pulper tails consist of metal wires, plastic and fiber residues and were often disposed of in landfills in the past. Today, modern shredding solutions enable efficient processing. Shredding allows valuable raw materials to be recovered. These can then be reused as secondary raw materials or substitute fuels, for example in cement works.
In the paper processing industry, employees are often exposed to high concentrations of dust and fibers. However, these can damage the lungs and cause illness. In addition, paper residues that are not extracted pose a significant explosion risk that must be avoided. For this reason, extraction systems with filters are essential. The collected paper dust can then be compacted by briquetting. This reduces the volume and the briquettes can be used as fuel to generate heating energy.
