Shaking the Tree: STAAR Alert’s 2025 Environmental Impact

As we step into a fresh New Year, we’re taking a moment to look back at the incredible impact we made together in 2025. At STAAR Alert, our mission has always been about safety and security, but that commitment extends beyond personal alerts—it includes the security of our environment, too.

Thanks to our partnership with Allegheny Shredding, we’ve ensured that our commitment to secure document destruction also serves a greater purpose: sustainability.

Small Actions, Big Numbers

We are thrilled to announce that throughout 2025, STAAR Alert collected and recycled 1,514 pounds of paper. To some, that might just look like a lot of shredded documents. But when you look at the environmental "savings account," that effort translates into some truly inspiring numbers. By choosing responsible recycling over the landfill, we’ve collectively saved:

• 12.87 Trees: Keeping our air cleaner and our forests standing.

• 5,299 Gallons of Water: Preserving one of our most precious resources.

• 3,028 Kilowatts of Energy: Enough to power a home for months.

• 95.38 Gallons of Oil: Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.

• 2.5 Cubic Yards of Landfill Space: Keeping our community cleaner.
  

Why It Matters

In our industry, handling sensitive information with integrity is non-negotiable. By working with Allegheny Shredding, we don’t have to choose between data security and environmental responsibility. Every document shredded is a document recycled, closing the loop and supporting a more sustainable business model.

Looking Ahead

We believe that small, consistent actions lead to massive change. These numbers aren't just statistics; they represent a shared commitment to the future of our community and our planet.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We look forward to setting even bigger goals and saving even more trees in the year to come!
