Defining a Full Recycling Service

Companies in Singapore are under growing pressure to manage waste well. A complete recycling service makes the process straightforward, covering everything from pickup to final processing. It returns materials to production and reduces dependence on landfills.

All-Inclusive Waste Solutions

Our comprehensive system covers:

• Waste Collection: Scheduled pickups for consistent waste removal.
• Separation: Sophisticated separation for plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Processing: Responsible processing into reusable inputs.
• Compliance Docs: Thorough reports to meet regulations.

How our Standard Plan compares with a Customized Plan:

Tailored for Commercial and Industrial Needs

Commercial offices and manufacturing sites each have unique needs. Factories benefit from volume-based pricing, while corporate clients prioritize convenience. As examples:

• One food manufacturer recycles 5 tons of packaging each month, reducing costs by 20%.
• An electronics plant processes 500+ devices each quarter securely to meet NEA standards.

Real-time tracking features make audits simple. All steps are documented—from pickup weights to disposal methods.

Materials We Recycle

From old smartphones to factory scrap, many materials can get a second life. We process varied streams for safe and efficient recovery. Our processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

Responsible E-Waste Disposal

Electronics often include hazardous items like mercury and lead. We handle safely:

• CRT displays and lithium-ion batteries (leak tests applied).
• Data devices (NEA-certified destruction).
• Ni-Cd batteries plus circuit boards (manual dismantling).

Our equipment captures reusable metals and neutralizes toxins.

Plastics and Metals: From Scrap to Reusable Products

Infrared scanners let our systems identify plastic types (PET, HDPE, LDPE). Metal recovery hits 98% purity via electromagnetic separation. Typical materials include:

• Manufacturing-derived ABS plastic.
• Aluminum and steel alloys (smelted for industrial reuse).

Specialized Items: Batteries, Steel, and More

Complex items need tailored solutions:

• Lead-acid batteries with acid neutralization and lead recovery.
• Stainless steel: Sorted by grade for smelting.
• Mercury devices processed via sealed vacuum extraction.

A documented chain of custody ensures compliance for each material.

Process Overview — Full Recycling Service

Efficient waste handling starts with a structured process. We ensure every material—from office paper to industrial scrap—is recovered responsibly. Using three steps, we maximize efficiency and meet NEA requirements.

Stage 1: Collect and Segregate

We optimize routes with GPS-tracked vehicles and weight sensors. Teams use color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. That cuts contamination and accelerates disposal.

• Smart bin tech: Sensors notify crews at fill-level.
• Regulatory labels: Labels match Singapore’s waste guidelines.

Step 2 — Transport & Handling

Hazardous items such as batteries go into triple-layer containers. Secure transit is ensured with real-time tracking. Drivers are trained in spill response protocols.

• e-Logs: Record weights and pickup times.
• Thermal control: Stops chemical degradation during transport.

Step 3: Advanced Recycling and Recovery

Plastics are sorted by infrared scanners as magnets capture metals. We recover 98% of aluminum scrap—20% above industry averages. Each step is fully documented for audits.

• Material reports: Detail category recovery rates.
• Circular loops: Return materials to local production.

This comprehensive solution turns waste into resources and reduces landfill dependence. At each stage, businesses gain transparency and compliance.

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

Sustainability shouldn’t strain your budget or the planet. Our partnership delivers eco and financial advantages, while staying aligned to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Cost-Smart, Eco-Friendly Programs

Our waste-to-energy programs cut operational costs by up to 30%. For example, converting 1 ton of plastic waste generates enough energy to power 50 HDB flats for a day.

Certified e-waste disposal can earn businesses carbon credits. This turns compliance into a revenue stream, including eligibility under Singapore’s carbon trading schemes.

Compliance with Singapore’s Environmental Regulations

We streamline compliance with the Resource Sustainability Act. 24/7 digital audit trails provide compliance records, covering pickup through final processing.

We provide the following solutions:

• Automated NEA inspection reporting.
• SCAL-certified hazardous material handling.
• Live tracking to reduce regulatory risk.

Cross-Industry Solutions

Waste management isn’t one-size-fits-all—each sector demands tailored strategies. We tailor systems to manage sector-specific challenges, covering high-volume scrap and secure office paper disposal alike.

Manufacturing and Industrial Clients

Factories need robust solutions for heavy waste streams. We recover 95% of automotive metal scrap via closed loops, and semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous containment.

• Chip sector waste: Secure handling of silicon wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Automotive scrap: Smelting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
• Tailored pickup schedules: Construction sites daily; warehouses weekly.

Retail & Office Programs

Retailers face packaging overload, while offices prioritize data security. We deploy compactors for cardboard and shredders for sensitive documents.

Regional HQs of Fortune 500 firms rely on audit-ready tracking. F&B sites trim costs 25% via optimized schedules.

Why Sustainability Matters in Recycling

Singapore’s limited landfill space makes sustainable waste practices critical. Semakau may be full by 2035, improper disposal increases ecological risk and costs. Responsible recovery creates opportunity from challenge.

Reducing Environmental Risks

Each ton of recycled plastic prevents 2kg of marine debris. Annually, 3,000+ tons diverted—about 25 football fields of ocean waste.

Landfilled lithium batteries and other hazardous materials pose fire risks. Certified processing neutralizes these threats as we recover valuable metals.

Enabling the Circular Economy

Upcycling turns discarded electronics into urban furniture. Across 15 HDB hubs, partners repurpose circuit boards into benches.

Via Tuas Nexus, food waste is converted to biogas powering 200+ households monthly. Circular loops lengthen material life and reduce virgin inputs by 40%.

• Yearly impact: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
• Verified metrics: Third-party audits verify sustainability progress.
• Local partnerships: Businesses and schools team up for cleanup efforts.

Advanced Technology in Recycling

Modern recycling relies on smart systems to maximize efficiency and security. Singapore’s facilities now integrate artificial intelligence and blockchain for unprecedented precision in waste recovery.

Cutting-Edge Sorting and Processing

AI-powered optical scanners achieve 99.5% material purity—far surpassing manual sorting. These systems identify plastic types in milliseconds using hyperspectral imaging.

Our partnership with NTU enhances polymer recovery through enzymatic breakdown. This green chemistry approach extracts raw materials without toxic byproducts.

• Blockchain ensures traceability end-to-end
• Electromagnetic separation achieves 98% metal recovery
• Robotic systems manage hazardous items including lithium batteries

Data Security in E-Waste

Corporate IT assets require military-grade data wiping certified by IMDA. We use a three-pass overwrite that meets strict cybersecurity standards in Singapore.

Audit trails include serialized destruction certificates. Devices go through:

1. Physical inspection for data storage components
2. Degaussing of magnetic media
3. End shredding down to 2mm particles

Our R&D continually tests new techniques against encryption. Ensuring compliance as storage technology advances.
