Defining a Full Recycling Service

Businesses in Singapore face mounting pressure to manage waste efficiently. A Full Recycling Service makes the process straightforward, from pickup to end processing. It returns materials to production and reduces dependence on landfills.

End-to-End Waste Management

Our end-to-end system includes:

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

How our Standard Plan compares with a Customized Plan:

Aspect	Standard Plan	Tailored Plan
Service Frequency	Once per week	Flexible (from daily to monthly)
Materials	Basic streams (paper, plastic)	Advanced streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Documentation	Summary reports	Detailed, audit-ready analytics

Built for Commercial & Industrial Needs

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

• One food manufacturer recycles 5 tons of packaging each month, reducing costs by 20%.
• An electronics factory securely processes 500+ devices quarterly, meeting NEA standards.

Audit processes are simplified by real-time tracking. 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 manage diverse streams to ensure safe, efficient recovery. Our processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

E-Waste: Responsible Electronics Disposal

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

• CRT monitors and Li-ion batteries (leak-tested).
• Data devices (NEA-certified destruction).
• Nickel-cadmium batteries with circuit boards (hand dismantled).

Special equipment extracts 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 reaches 98% purity using electromagnetic separation. Common materials include:

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

Complex Items: Batteries, Steel, Etc.

Tailored solutions are required for complex items:

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

A documented chain of custody ensures compliance for each material.

Our Full Recycling Service Process

Efficient waste handling starts with a structured process. We ensure every material—from office paper to industrial scrap—is recovered responsibly. Our three-step approach maximizes efficiency and meets NEA standards.

Step 1: Waste Collection and Segregation

GPS-tracked vehicles with weight sensors optimize pickup routes. Teams deploy color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. This reduces contamination and speeds up disposal.

• Sensor bins: Sensors alert crews when bins are full.
• NEA compliance: Labels match Singapore’s waste guidelines.

Step 2 — Transport & Handling

Hazardous materials like batteries are packed in triple-layer containers. Secure transit is ensured with real-time tracking. All drivers are trained on spill response.

• Digital logs: Record weights and pickup times.
• Temperature control: Prevents degradation in transit.

Step 3: Advanced Recycling and Recovery

Infrared scanners sort plastics by type, while magnets extract metals. We recover 98% of aluminum scrap—20% above industry averages. Every step is documented for audits.

• Recovery reports: Detail category recovery rates.
• Circular loops: Reuse materials in local manufacturing.

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

Why Choose Advance Recycling

Sustainable waste solutions shouldn’t break the bank—or the planet. Partnering with us unlocks financial and environmental advantages, with full adherence to Singapore’s strict rules.

Cost-Smart, Eco-Friendly Programs

Our waste-to-energy programs cut operational costs by up to 30%. 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, with eligibility for Singapore’s carbon trading schemes.

Regulatory Compliance Made Simple

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

We provide the following solutions:

The Importance of Sustainability in Recycling

Singapore’s limited landfill space makes sustainable waste practices critical. With Semakau Landfill projected to fill by 2035, improper disposal risks ecological damage and higher costs. Responsible recovery turns this challenge into opportunity.

Cutting Environmental Risk

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

Hazardous materials like lithium batteries pose fire risks if landfilled. Through certified processing, we neutralize these threats while recovering valuable metals.

Driving Circularity

Discarded electronics become urban furniture via upcycling. Partner workshops repurpose circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs across Singapore.

With Tuas Nexus, we convert food waste into biogas—powering 200+ households monthly. Circular loops lengthen material life and reduce virgin inputs by 40%.

• Impact per year: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
• Audited metrics: Third-party audits verify sustainability progress.
• Community partnerships: Schools plus businesses join cleanup initiatives.

Tech-Enabled 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. Using hyperspectral imaging, plastics are identified in milliseconds.

With NTU, we enhance polymer recovery using enzymatic methods. This approach extracts raw materials minus toxic byproducts.

• Blockchain provides traceability from collection to resale
• 98% metal recovery via electromagnetic separators
• Robotics handle hazardous items such as lithium batteries

Data Security for E-Waste Disposal

Corporate IT assets require military-grade data wiping certified by IMDA. A three-pass overwrite meets Singapore’s strict cybersecurity standards.

Serialized destruction certificates are provided for audit trails. Devices go through:

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

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