shredded paper

Security-destroyed office waste

Paper that has been cut into thin strips or small pieces, typically by a shredding machine, to destroy confidential documents or render them unreadable.

Shredded paper is also used as packing material, animal bedding, or in composting.

The office produces bags of shredded paper every week.

The strips can range from wide ribbons to confetti-sized particles depending on the security level required.
