What Is a Full Recycling Service?

Singapore businesses face increasing pressure to manage waste efficiently. A end-to-end recycling service streamlines this process, covering everything from pickup to final processing. It keeps materials in production cycles and cuts landfill use.

End-to-End Waste Management

We deliver a complete system that includes:

• Collection: Timetabled pickups to keep removal consistent.
• Advanced Sorting: High-precision separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Processing: Responsible processing into reusable inputs.
• Documentation: Thorough reports to meet regulations.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Built for Commercial & Industrial Needs

Manufacturing plants and offices have distinct needs. Factories gain from volume pricing; corporate clients prioritize convenience. For example:

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

Compliance features like real-time tracking simplify audits. All steps are documented—from pickup weights to disposal methods.

Accepted Materials

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

E-Waste: Responsible Electronics Disposal

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

• CRT monitors and lithium-ion batteries (tested for leaks).
• Devices with data (certified NEA-standard destruction).
• Nickel-cadmium batteries with circuit boards (hand dismantled).

Specialized equipment extracts reusable metals while neutralizing toxins.

Turning Plastic and Metal Scrap into Reusable Goods

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

• ABS plastic from manufacturing waste.
• Aluminum plus steel alloys (melted for reuse).

Special Items — Batteries, Steel & More

Tailored solutions are required for complex items:

• Lead-acid batteries with acid neutralization and lead recovery.
• Stainless steel: Sorted by grade 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

A structured process is the start of efficient waste handling. From office paper to industrial scrap, we ensure responsible recovery. Our three-step approach maximizes efficiency and meets NEA standards.

Step 1 — Collection & Segregation

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

• Smart bin tech: Bin sensors trigger alerts when full.
• Compliance labels: Labels aligned with NEA waste guidelines.

Step 2: Safe Transportation and Handling

Hazardous items such as batteries go into triple-layer containers. Real-time tracking maintains secure facility transit. Drivers receive spill-response training.

• e-Logs: Track waste weight and pickup times.
• Temp control: Prevents degradation in transit.

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. Every step is documented for audits.

• Material reports: Detail category recovery rates.
• Closed loops: Reuse materials in local manufacturing.

This end-to-end solution turns waste into resources without landfill reliance. Companies benefit from transparency and compliance throughout.

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

Waste solutions can be sustainable and cost-smart. Partnering with us unlocks financial and environmental advantages, all while adhering to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly Solutions

We cut operational costs up to 30% via waste-to-energy. For instance, 1 ton of plastic can power 50 HDB flats for one day.

Certified e-waste disposal can earn businesses carbon credits. Compliance becomes a revenue opportunity, including eligibility under Singapore’s carbon trading schemes.

Compliance with Singapore’s Environmental Regulations

We make Resource Sustainability Act compliance simple. Digital audit trails provide 24/7 access to compliance records, spanning the full chain from pickup to processing.

We provide the following solutions:

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

Cross-Industry Solutions

Every sector needs tailored waste strategies; one size doesn’t fit all. We tailor systems to manage sector-specific challenges, whether it’s high-volume factory scrap or 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 partners gain secure hazardous containment.

• Semiconductor streams: Handled securely: wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Automotive scrap: Melt, reform, and reuse steel alloys.
• Custom schedules: Daily for construction; weekly for warehouses.

Commercial & Office Waste Solutions

Retail has packaging volume; offices focus on data security. We deploy compactors for cardboard and shredders for sensitive documents.

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

Why Sustainability Matters in Recycling

Limited landfill capacity makes sustainable practices vital in Singapore. Semakau may be full by 2035, poor disposal choices raise environmental risk and costs. Responsible recovery creates opportunity from challenge.

Reducing Environmental Risks

Recycling one ton of plastic averts 2kg of marine debris. Our programs divert 3,000+ tons annually—equivalent to clearing 25 football fields of ocean waste.

Lithium batteries in landfills present fire hazards. Through certified processing, we neutralize these threats while recovering valuable metals.

Enabling the Circular Economy

Upcycling turns discarded electronics into urban furniture. Partner workshops turn circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs.

Tuas Nexus converts food waste to biogas, powering 200+ households each month. Closed loops extend material use and cut virgin inputs by 40%.

• Yearly impact: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
• Validated metrics: Third-party audited sustainability reports track progress.
• Local partnerships: Schools and businesses join clean-up initiatives.

Advanced Technology in Recycling

Recycling now uses smart systems to maximize efficiency and security. Facilities across Singapore integrate AI and blockchain for precise recovery.

Next-Gen Sorting & Processing

AI-driven scanners hit 99.5% purity, outpacing manual methods. Using hyperspectral imaging, plastics are identified in milliseconds.

Partnering with NTU improves polymer recovery via enzymatic breakdown. This green chemistry approach extracts raw materials without toxic byproducts.

• Blockchain provides traceability from collection to resale
• Electromagnetic separators recover metals with 98% efficiency
• Robotic arms handle hazardous items like lithium batteries

Data Security in E-Waste

Corporate IT assets undergo IMDA-certified military-grade wiping. Our three-pass overwrite process meets Singapore’s strict cybersecurity standards for sensitive information.

Audit trails include serialized destruction certificates. Every device undergoes:

1. Physical inspection of data-storage components
2. Degaussing of magnetic media
3. Shredding to 2mm particles

R&D teams continuously test new encryption-breaking techniques. Ensuring compliance as storage technology advances.
