Fast Facts

1. Common shredder types: Strip-cut, cross-cut, particle-cut
2. Strip-cut shredders generate long strips that can be reassembled and are therefore less effective
3. Cross-cut shredders generate tiny confetti-like shreds that are impossible to piece back together
4. Particle-cut shredders also generate very small circular or square pieces that cannot be pieced back together
5. Shredders's shredding technique can be very specific and it is therefore possible to examine documents and trace back to the shredding source
