Certified CarbonNeutral® Company

Carbon Neutral Certified Company Logo

Shred Station Ltd has been a CarbonNeutral® certified company since January 2019. We have achieved CarbonNeutral® certification by working with Climate Impact Partners, who are experts in the delivery of solutions for positive impact on carbon and renewable energy.

Our CarbonNeutral® certification demonstrates our net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in line with the CarbonNeutral Protocol, which is the global standard for carbon neutral programmes.

To achieve the certification, our carbon emissions were independently assessed. This included the carbon emissions of our depots, machinery, offices, and operational activities. Helped by our already numerous commitments into renewable energy, sustainable development, and carbon offsetting initiatives, we were able to then invest in projects to reduce our total carbon emissions to net-zero.

Certified CarbonNeutral® Fleet

Our low-emission fleet has also been CarbonNeutral® since January 2019.

All of our shredding trucks are eco-friendly as standard, and even our largest trucks produce very few emissions due to their built-in Selective Catalytic Reduction converters and AdBlue solutions.

After an independent assessment of our vehicles, we were able to calculate the emissions of our entire fleet and offset these emissions through various projects with Climate Impact Partners. This has enabled us to report a net-zero carbon footprint.
