Burning the Documents
Burning the papers is likewise regarded as a reliable method of getting rid of documents as it makes sure that the
documents that are burnt can never be reconstructed or read again. Although this method is not always practical,
it is beneficial many a times when no other means of discarding are conveniently available. In terms of pollution,
this approach is not advised.
Incineration
Incineration is a method of treating waste which involves burning the organic compounds found in waste products.
The same can be used for paper and plastic-based materials. The solid mass of the original waste is reduced
by around 80 to 85%, while the volume is reduced by around 95 and 96%. During burning of waste, however,
pollutants are created. However, there are other pollution-free incinerators available.
