Not sure about the US, but what I was taught here in Norway during my time in the army is that the colors are to be separated by cutting the seams so that it is no longer a flag. Then you burn the individual colors. I imagine separating the colors would be a PITA with a US flag.

We do the same, but the way you remove the stars from the blue rectangle is by shooting each one with a 12 gauge shotgun.
Gotta get one of those star shaped hole punches and take each individual star out! (/sarcasm)
My son and I were involved with boy scouts for a time. They did separate the colors for retired flags and yes it did take a while.
I feel like a paper cutter could be considered valid for disposing of the flag
Assuming you could use the paper cutter without the flag touching a surface of any kind then sure.
Billion(th) dollar business idea: aerial paper cutters / hole punchers. Wanna see invest?
Although, I think it would compete with AGM-114R-9X.
