What happens to the paper after it is shredded?

Data Shredding Service is one of the largest document destruction businesses in the world. Because of our large size and the volume of shredded paper that we produce we are able to directly ship the shredded paper to the paper mill for recycling. The shredded paper is then deinked and turned into pulp which is used to make new paper products.
