Defining a Full Recycling Service

Businesses in Singapore face mounting pressure to manage waste efficiently. A Full Recycling Service makes the process straightforward, covering everything from pickup to final processing. It ensures materials re-enter production cycles, reducing landfill reliance.

Comprehensive Waste Management Solutions

We deliver a complete system that includes:

• Collection: Scheduled pickups for consistent waste removal.
• Sorting: Sophisticated separation for plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Material Processing: Secure conversion into reusable feedstocks.
• Documentation: Detailed reports for regulatory compliance.

Below is a comparison of standard vs tailored plans:

Tailored for Commercial and Industrial Needs

Manufacturing plants and offices have distinct needs. Industrial sites benefit from volume pricing; corporates value convenience. For example:

• A food manufacturer recycles 5 tons of packaging monthly, cutting costs by 20%.
• An electronics factory securely processes 500+ devices quarterly, meeting NEA standards.

Real-time tracking features make audits simple. Every step is documented, from pickup weights to final disposal methods.

Materials We Recycle

Old smartphones to factory scrap—many materials deserve a second life. We manage diverse streams to ensure safe, efficient recovery. Our processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

Responsible E-Waste Disposal

Discarded electronics contain hazardous items like mercury and lead. We process responsibly:

• CRT monitors and Li-ion batteries (leak-tested).
• Devices with data (certified NEA-standard destruction).
• Ni-Cd batteries plus circuit boards (manual dismantling).

Special equipment extracts reusable metals and neutralizes toxins.

Plastics & Metals — From Scrap to Reuse

Our sorting systems identify plastic types (PET, HDPE, LDPE) using infrared scanners. Metal recovery hits 98% purity via electromagnetic separation. Frequent materials are:

• ABS plastic generated by manufacturing.
• Aluminum plus steel alloys (melted for reuse).

Specialized Items: Batteries, Steel, and More

Complex items call for customized approaches:

• Lead-acid batteries with acid neutralization and lead recovery.
• Graded stainless steel for smelting.
• Mercury devices processed via sealed vacuum extraction.

All materials follow a documented chain of custody to remain compliant.

Our Full Recycling Service Process

Efficient waste handling starts with a structured process. We responsibly recover all materials, from office paper to industrial scrap. Using three steps, we maximize efficiency and meet NEA requirements.

Stage 1: Collect and Segregate

GPS-tracked vehicles with weight sensors optimize pickup routes. Teams use color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. It lowers contamination and hastens disposal.

• Sensor bins: Sensors alert crews when bins are full.
• Compliance labels: Labeling aligned to Singapore guidelines.

Stage 2: Safe Transport and Handling

We pack hazardous materials, including batteries, in triple-layer containers. Real-time tracking ensures secure transit to facilities. All drivers are trained on spill response.

• Digital logs: Track waste weight and pickup times.
• Temperature control: Stops chemical degradation during transport.

Stage 3: Advanced Recovery

We use infrared sorting for plastics and magnetic extraction for metals. Aluminum scrap recovery hits 98%—20% above the industry average. All steps are documented for auditability.

• Recovery reports: Display recovery rates by material category.
• Closed-loop systems: Reuse materials in local manufacturing.

This comprehensive solution turns waste into resources and reduces landfill dependence. Companies benefit from transparency and compliance throughout.

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

Waste solutions can be sustainable and cost-smart. Working with us unlocks both financial and environmental benefits, with full adherence to Singapore’s strict rules.

Green Solutions with Strong ROI

Waste-to-energy initiatives reduce operational costs by as much as 30%. For instance, 1 ton of plastic can power 50 HDB flats for one 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.

Regulatory Compliance Made Simple

We simplify the Resource Sustainability Act requirements. 24/7 digital audit trails provide compliance records, from pickup to final processing.

Included in our solutions:

• Automated reporting for NEA inspections.
• SCAL-certified HAZMAT handling protocols.
• Live tracking to reduce regulatory risk.

Serving Businesses Across Industries

Waste management isn’t one-size-fits-all—each sector demands tailored strategies. Advance Recycling adapts systems for unique challenges, from high-volume factory scrap to confidential office paper disposal.

Solutions for Industry

Industrial sites require robust solutions for heavy streams. Closed-loop systems recover up to 95% of automotive metal scrap, and semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous containment.

• Semiconductor streams: Handled securely: wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Automotive scrap: Melting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
• Customized schedules: Daily for construction; weekly for warehouses.

Commercial & Office Waste Solutions

Retailers face packaging overload, while offices prioritize data security. Cardboard compactors and secure shredders are deployed.

Regional HQs of Fortune 500 firms rely on audit-ready tracking. Even F&B businesses cut costs by 25% with optimized waste schedules.

Why Sustainability Matters in Recycling

Singapore’s limited landfill space makes sustainable waste practices critical. Semakau may be full by 2035, improper disposal risks ecological damage and higher costs. Responsible recovery turns this challenge into opportunity.

Cutting Environmental Risk

Each ton of recycled plastic prevents 2kg of marine debris. Our programs divert 3,000+ tons annually—equivalent to clearing 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.

Driving Circularity

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

Tuas Nexus converts food waste to biogas, powering 200+ households each month. Circular loops lengthen material life and reduce virgin inputs by 40%.

• Impact per year: CO2 reduced by 12,000 tons through recovery.
• Validated metrics: Third-party audited sustainability reports track progress.
• Local partnerships: Schools plus businesses join cleanup initiatives.

Tech-Enabled Recycling

Today’s recycling relies on smart systems for efficiency and security. AI and blockchain are integrated in Singapore facilities for high-precision recovery.

Cutting-Edge Sorting and Processing

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

Partnering with NTU improves polymer recovery via enzymatic breakdown. Green chemistry lets us extract raw materials without toxic byproducts.

• Blockchain ensures traceability end-to-end
• Electromagnetic separators recover metals with 98% efficiency
• Robotic systems manage hazardous items including lithium batteries

Data Security for E-Waste Disposal

IMDA-certified, military-grade wiping is required for corporate IT assets. 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. Magnetic media degaussing
3. Shredding to 2mm particles

R&D teams test evolving methods to address encryption. Ensuring compliance as storage technology advances.
