Tree Peat
The Tree Peat is an innovative cardboard shredder designed to change the way cardboard is processed. By shredding cardboard at the source, Tree Peat minimizes storage requirements, eliminates the need for third-party handling, and ensures that recyclers receive uncontaminated material that is not mixed with other waste. This direct approach streamlines collection and enhances the overall quality of recovered fiber.
For manufacturers, Tree Peat delivers shredded cardboard that is cleaner and more consistent, preventing common issues such as plastic contamination that lead to jammed shredders and costly downtime. By reducing plant disruptions and eliminating inefficiencies, companies can operate with fewer staff dedicated to waste management, ultimately improving operational reliability and throughput.
The benefits extend beyond logistics and labor savings. With cleaner inputs and smoother recycling operations, manufacturers reduce water usage and material waste during processing. This translates to tangible cost savings, improved sustainability, and a more efficient circular economy model, making Tree Peat a strategic solution for businesses aiming to optimize recycling while lowering expenses.

PRODUCT DETAILS
The Tree Peat is a purpose-built cardboard shredder designed for efficiency, safety, and durability in both residential and commercial settings. Built with a durable hard plastic or composite body, it is lightweight yet rugged enough for repeated daily use. The unit fits securely over standard household and commercial receptacles, shredding cardboard directly into containers to eliminate double handling and reduce storage space needs. Its metal cutting heads are engineered for strength and longevity, producing clean, uniform strips while requiring less power to operate, thanks to their wide, efficient design.
The Tree Peat uses an electric motor connected through a system of metal gears to deliver reliable torque and consistent shredding performance. A manual switch provides forward and reverse control, allowing jams to be cleared quickly, while integrated sensors enhance safety by detecting hand contact near the entry point and halting the blades instantly. Combined with a two-hand operation design, one hand on the switch and the other feeding cardboard, the unit minimizes the risk of injury while maintaining user-friendly functionality.
This combination of strong construction materials and practical engineering creates a shredder that resists wear while improving operational efficiency. By delivering uncontaminated, pre-shredded cardboard directly, Tree Peat reduces downtime from jams, lowers labor requirements, and saves water and materials in downstream processing.
