Defining a Full Recycling Service

Companies in Singapore are under growing pressure to manage waste well. 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

We deliver a complete system that includes:

• Pickup: Regular pickups to ensure consistent removal.
• Sorting: High-precision separation of 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:

Feature	Standard Plan	Custom Plan
Frequency	Once per week	Flexible (from daily to monthly)
Materials	Core items (paper, plastic)	Special streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Documentation	Basic summaries	Comprehensive, audit-ready analytics

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. For example:

• 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. From pickup weights to final disposal, everything is documented.

Accepted Materials

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

Responsible E-Waste Disposal

Discarded electronics contain 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).

Our equipment captures 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 achieves 98% purity through electromagnetic separation. Frequent materials are:

• ABS plastic from manufacturing waste.
• Aluminum and steel alloys (smelted for industrial reuse).

Special Items — Batteries, Steel & More

Tailored solutions are required for complex items:

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

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

Our Full Recycling Service Process

Efficiency begins with a structured process. From office paper to industrial scrap, we ensure responsible recovery. Using three steps, we maximize efficiency and meet NEA requirements.

Stage 1: Collect and Segregate

GPS-tracked, weight-sensing vehicles optimize our routes. Color-coded bins help teams separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. It lowers contamination and hastens disposal.

• Smart bins: Sensors notify crews at fill-level.
• NEA compliance: Labels aligned with NEA waste guidelines.

Stage 2: Safe Transport and Handling

We pack hazardous materials, including batteries, in triple-layer containers. Secure transit is ensured with real-time tracking. All drivers are trained on spill response.

• Digital records: Capture weights and collection times.
• Temp control: Stops chemical degradation during transport.

Step 3: Advanced Recycling and Recovery

We use infrared sorting for plastics and magnetic extraction for 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: 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. Working with us unlocks both financial and environmental benefits, while staying aligned to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Green Solutions with Strong ROI

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.

Companies can gain carbon credits via certified e-waste disposal. Compliance becomes a revenue opportunity, eligible within Singapore’s carbon trading mechanisms.

Stay Compliant in Singapore

We make Resource Sustainability Act compliance simple. Digital trails offer round-the-clock access to compliance records, spanning the full chain from pickup to processing.

Our solutions include:

• Automated reporting for NEA inspections.
• Hazardous material handling certified by SCAL.
• Real-time tracking that helps avoid penalties.

Cross-Industry Solutions

Every sector needs tailored waste strategies; one size doesn’t fit all. At Advance Recycling, we adapt our systems to handle unique challenges, whether it’s high-volume factory scrap or confidential office paper disposal.

Industrial & Manufacturing

Industrial sites require robust solutions for heavy streams. Our closed-loop systems recover 95% of automotive metal scrap, while semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous material containment.

• Semiconductor streams: Secure management of wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Auto metal scrap: Melt, reform, and reuse steel alloys.
• Tailored pickup schedules: Daily pickups for construction sites vs. weekly for warehouses.

Retail & Office Programs

Retail has packaging volume; offices focus on data security. Compactors tackle cardboard; shredders handle sensitive documents.

Program	Retail Sector	Office Sector
Service Frequency	Two times per week	Monthly schedule
Key Materials	Boxboard and plastic film	Paper and e-waste
Key Features	Baling machines	Certified data destruction

Fortune 500 headquarters use our audit-ready tracking. Food & beverage clients cut 25% using optimized schedules.

Sustainability’s Role 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.

Lowering Ecological Risks

Recycling one ton of plastic averts 2kg of marine debris. We divert over 3,000 tons per year—equal to 25 football fields of ocean waste.

Lithium batteries in landfills present fire hazards. Certified processing neutralizes these threats as we recover valuable metals.

Driving Circularity

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

Via Tuas Nexus, food waste is converted to biogas powering 200+ households monthly. Closed-loop systems keep materials in use longer, cutting virgin resource needs by 40%.

• Yearly impact: CO2 reduced by 12,000 tons through recovery.
• Validated metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
• Community programs: Schools plus businesses join cleanup initiatives.

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 optical scanners deliver 99.5% purity—well above manual sorting. Using hyperspectral imaging, plastics are identified in milliseconds.

With NTU, we enhance polymer recovery using enzymatic methods. This green chemistry approach extracts raw materials without toxic byproducts.

• Blockchain provides traceability from collection to resale
• Electromagnetic separation achieves 98% metal recovery
• Robotic arms handle hazardous items like lithium batteries

Data Security for E-Waste Disposal

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

Serialized destruction certificates are provided for audit trails. Every device undergoes:

1. Inspecting hardware for data components
2. Degauss magnetic media
3. End shredding down to 2mm particles

R&D teams continuously test new encryption-breaking techniques. This ensures compliance as storage technology evolves.
