Paper production generates large quantities of waste such as paper bales, paper cuttings, rolls and sheets, all of which need to be processed in an economical and environmentally friendly way. WEIMA shredders shred these quickly, reduce volume, and prepare the material for the next step of recycling.
This helps companies reduce disposal costs and conserve resources. Industrial paper shredding plays a crucial role in the recycling sector. WEIMA provides solutions for transforming waste into profit, which can be reintegrated into the production cycle, supporting the circular economy.
Our industrial shredders are versatile and suitable for a wide range of paper materials. Whether it’s important documents, corrugated cardboard or newspaper rolls – WEIMA offers the right technology for every challenge.
Our machines can be perfectly tailored to meet your company’s needs by offering flexible customization options, including a variety of screen sizes for processing shredded material.

With the rapid growth of online retail, there is a rising need for corrugated cardboard and cardboard packaging, which are vital for shipping. Consequently, there is growing attention on the sustainable disposal and recycling of these materials.
Corrugated cardboard, a key element in wastepaper recycling, is crucial in the recycling process, as its recycling is both environmentally friendly and economically beneficial, and the first step to that process is shredding.

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 fibers and minimizes 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.

Producing paper products generates a lot of waste. In the classic recycling cycle, the production waste or surplus is shredded and then returned to the production process. The Munich start-up company easy2cool has a different but equally sustainable use for paper waste. Using a WEIMA WLK 1500 Shredder, revolutionary and sustainable insulating elements are made from corrugated cardboard packaging.
