CDs destruction
Whale IT Recycling securely destroys CDs and DVDs through shredding and provides a destruction certificate for your records. The shredded material is then responsibly recycled.
Safe & sustainable CD destruction
At Whale Recycling, we have the expertise to safely and sustainably destroy CDs and other data carriers. As specialists in electronics recycling, we understand the importance of a professional approach when handling sensitive corporate data. While CDs are becoming less common for everyday storage, many organizations still have large quantities containing confidential information, old backups, and critical data. Our secure destruction service ensures your company’s sensitive information is fully protected while also promoting sustainable material processing.
Our expertise in CD destruction
Destroying CDs requires a specialized approach. Unlike hard drives, it is not possible to wipe CDs – they must be physically demolished. At Whale Recycling, we use professional shredders that break CDs into irreparable fragments, through our specialized destruction process. This thorough approach ensures that your sensitive information never falls into the wrong hands.
Our destruction process
At Whale Recycling, we have established a carefully designed process for CD destruction. We begin with an accurate registration of your data carriers. For customers who request it, we document specific titles or serial numbers of CDs used for backups or other purposes. Once registered, we proceed with the destruction process. The shredded material is then collected separately for responsible recycling.
Sustainable processing is in our DNA
Sustainability is at the core of our business operations. The CDs that we demolish are made of polycarbonate, a high-quality and impact-resistant plastic. After destruction, we ensure that this material is fully recycled. Although recycled polycarbonate is less clear than new plastic, it remains a valuable resource that can be repurposed for various new applications. We go beyond commercial interests by actively maximizing reuse wherever possible, contributing to a more sustainable future.
Our tailored service
We offer you various options for demolishing your CDs. You can choose our pick-up service, where we guarantee that your data carriers will be demolished within 48 hours after pickup. You can also deliver your materials to us. Do you work for a company that requires extra assurance? Then we offer you the opportunity to witness the destruction process. If desired, we can record a video of the process.
Our focus on business services
As specialists, we focus exclusively on business clients. We regularly process large quantities of CDs, ranging from old backups to installation programs. Our experience shows that destroying an entire batch is often more efficient than examining individual CDs. We handle the entire process for you, ensuring secure and hassle-free destruction.
Why choose professional CD destruction?
Demolishing your own CDs might seem like an option, but it comes with risks. In addition to the time-consuming aspect of demolishing large quantities, unprofessional destruction can release harmful substances. As a certified company, we provide you with a destruction certificate that demonstrates your data has been demolished according to the highest security standards.
