Full Recycling Service Explained

Singapore businesses face increasing pressure to manage waste efficiently. A complete recycling service simplifies the process, from pickup to end processing. It returns materials to production and reduces dependence on landfills.

End-to-End Waste Management

Our comprehensive system covers:

• Waste Collection: Timetabled pickups to keep removal consistent.
• Separation: Advanced separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Processing: Responsible processing into reusable inputs.
• Documentation: Audit-ready reports for compliance.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Category	Baseline Plan	Customized Plan
Pickup Frequency	Weekly schedule	Flexible (daily or monthly)
Material Scope	Basic (paper, plastic)	Advanced streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Documentation	Standard summaries	Audit-ready analytics

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 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.

Materials We Recycle

Old smartphones to factory scrap—many materials deserve a second life. We process varied streams for safe and efficient recovery. Our processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

Responsible E-Waste Disposal

E-waste holds hazardous items such as mercury and lead. We safely process:

• CRT monitors and Li-ion batteries (leak-tested).
• Data-bearing devices (certified destruction to NEA standards).
• Nickel-cadmium batteries and circuit boards (dismantled manually).

Specialized equipment extracts reusable metals while neutralizing toxins.

Plastics and Metals: From Scrap to Reusable Products

We use infrared scanners to identify plastic types like PET, HDPE, and LDPE. Metal recovery reaches 98% purity using electromagnetic separation. Frequent materials are:

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

Complex Items: Batteries, Steel, Etc.

Complex items call for customized approaches:

• Lead-acid batteries processed with neutralization and lead recovery.
• Stainless steel sorted by grade for smelting.
• Devices with mercury: 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. 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 — Collection & Segregation

GPS-tracked, weight-sensing vehicles optimize our routes. Teams deploy color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. That cuts contamination and accelerates disposal.

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

Step 2 — Transport & Handling

Hazardous materials like batteries are packed in triple-layer containers. Real-time tracking maintains secure facility transit. Drivers are trained in spill response protocols.

• Digital logs: Capture weights and collection times.
• Temperature control: Prevents chemical degradation during transit.

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. Every step is documented for audits.

• Category reports: Detail category recovery rates.
• Closed loops: Feed materials back into local manufacturing.

This end-to-end solution turns waste into resources without landfill reliance. Businesses gain transparency and compliance at every stage.

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-Effective and Eco-Friendly Solutions

Waste-to-energy initiatives reduce operational costs by as much as 30%. For example, converting 1 ton of plastic waste generates enough energy to power 50 HDB flats for a day.

Companies can gain carbon credits via certified e-waste disposal. 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. Digital audit trails provide 24/7 access to 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. At Advance Recycling, we adapt our systems to handle unique challenges, whether it’s high-volume factory scrap or confidential office paper disposal.

Solutions for Industry

Manufacturing facilities need strong solutions for heavy streams. We recover 95% of automotive metal scrap via closed loops, while semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous material containment.

• Chip sector waste: Handled securely: wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Auto metal scrap: Smelting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
• Customized schedules: Daily pickups for construction sites vs. weekly for warehouses.

Commercial & Office Waste Solutions

Retailers face packaging overload, while offices prioritize data security. Compactors tackle cardboard; shredders handle sensitive documents.

Service	Retail	Office Sector
Pickup Frequency	Bi-weekly pickups	Monthly schedule
Key Materials	Plastic film and boxes	Paper, e-waste
Special Features	Baling machines	Certified secure shredding

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

With limited landfill space, sustainable practices are critical in Singapore. With Semakau Landfill projected to fill by 2035, improper disposal risks ecological damage and higher costs. Responsible recovery creates opportunity from challenge.

Cutting Environmental Risk

Each ton of recycled plastic prevents 2kg of marine debris. We divert over 3,000 tons per year—equal to 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

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. Circular loops lengthen material life and reduce virgin inputs by 40%.

• Impact per year: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
• Validated metrics: Third-party audited sustainability reports track progress.
• Local 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.

Innovative Sorting and Processing Techniques

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

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

• Blockchain provides traceability from collection to resale
• 98% metal recovery via electromagnetic separators
• Robotic arms handle hazardous items like lithium batteries

Securing Data During E-Waste Processing

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

We provide serialized destruction certificates for audit trails. Each device undergoes:

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

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