Chain of Custody

Chain of custody in textile destruction

An unbroken, documented trail from pickup to shred, the backbone of defensible destruction.

Chain of custody in textile destruction is the documented, unbroken record of who handled the material at every step from collection to destruction. It proves the items were controlled the entire time, with every handoff logged and sealed alongside the Certificate of Destruction, so the destruction is verifiable.

The Challenge

Understanding chain of custody

Destruction is only as defensible as the custody behind it. A gap in the trail undermines the certificate.

We log every handoff from your dock to the shredder and seal that record with the certificate, so the trail is complete and auditable.
