No, I am pretty positive that the Zizsor isn’t strong enough to shred plastic. I’ve not actually tried it though… The manual does not mention that ability either.

We solved it at work by buying a really nice shreader for each floor. The Lovely Bride and I also got one for the house. I have a special place in my wallet to carry reciepts I need to shread, and I also try to ask for no reciept from vendors where I'm just going to go home and shread it. Most are happy to comply - saves them paper.</p> <p>A top-line shreader will cost about $100 (Sounds like Rain Man!) and last many years. Go ahead and get a real one.</p> I looked at some of these when identity theft started getting such a lot of press. We solved it at work by buying a really nice shreader for each floor.

Which is fine if you're only going to shred a sheet or two every now and then. If you have a whole stack of paper, it's going to be a tedious job.</p> That’s the whole point ;o) You can only shred 2 regular sized sheets folded length-wise in this shredder.

Even the cheap big ones are normally limited to about the same. Of course you don't have to fold many with the big ones. </p> Julie,
