Orange County, California: ENERPAT Paper and Cardboard Shredder Installed

Case Study: Secure Destruction of Pharmaceutical Packaging with ENERPAT Double Shaft Shredder

The Challenge: Secure Disposal of Branded Pharmaceutical Packaging

A pharmaceutical company based in Orange County, California faced mounting challenges in disposing of their branded packaging materials securely. Their operation generated substantial volumes of pharmaceutical boxes and cartons featuring:

• Prominent company logos and branding elements

• Drug identification information and usage instructions

•  Variable box sizes ranging from small individual packaging to bulk shipment containers

Previously, the company attempted to manage this waste stream by simply collecting the empty boxes in bags. This approach created multiple operational inefficiencies:

• Excessive space consumption in their facility

• Inadequate destruction of sensitive pharmaceutical information

• Potential compliance risks regarding product and brand protection

• Missed recycling opportunities due to contaminated and uncompacted materials

With an estimated 132,000 tons of corrugated cardboard generated annually across Orange County—much from industrial and pharmaceutical operations—the need for an efficient, secure disposal solution was both a company-specific and regional concern. The search for a reliable Paper and Cardboard Shredder became essential for their operational security.
