Defining a Full Recycling Service

Companies in Singapore are under growing pressure to manage waste well. A complete 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.
• Treatment: Secure conversion into reusable feedstocks.
• Reporting: Detailed reports for regulatory compliance.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Category	Baseline Plan	Custom Plan
Service Frequency	Once per week	Flexible (daily or monthly)
Accepted Materials	Basic streams (paper, plastic)	Specialized (e-waste, chemicals)
Analytics	Basic summaries	Comprehensive, 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:

• A food producer recycles 5 tons monthly and trims costs by 20%.
• A tech factory securely processes 500+ devices per quarter, meeting NEA rules.

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

What We Recycle

A wide range of materials, from phones to factory scrap, can be reborn. We handle diverse waste streams, ensuring safe and efficient recovery. Our processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

Electronics Recycling Done Right

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 and circuit boards (dismantled manually).

Our equipment captures reusable metals and neutralizes toxins.

Plastics & Metals — From Scrap to Reuse

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

• ABS plastic generated by manufacturing.
• Aluminum and steel alloys (smelted for industrial reuse).

Specialized Items: Batteries, Steel, and More

Tailored solutions are required for complex items:

• Lead-acid batteries processed with 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.

Process Overview — Full Recycling Service

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.

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.
• NEA compliance: Labeling aligned to Singapore guidelines.

Step 2: Safe Transportation and Handling

We pack hazardous materials, including batteries, in triple-layer containers. Secure transit is ensured with real-time tracking. Drivers receive spill-response training.

• e-Logs: Capture weights and collection times.
• Temperature 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.

• Recovery reports: Display recovery rates by material category.
• Closed loops: Return materials to local production.

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

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

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

Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly Solutions

Our waste-to-energy programs cut operational costs by up to 30%. Example: 1 ton of plastic waste powers 50 HDB flats for a day.

Certified e-waste disposal can earn businesses carbon credits. That converts compliance into revenue, with eligibility for Singapore’s carbon trading schemes.

Stay Compliant in Singapore

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.

Our solutions include:

• Automatic reports tailored for NEA inspections.
• SCAL-certified HAZMAT handling protocols.
• Real-time tracking to prevent regulatory penalties.

Cross-Industry Solutions

There’s no one-size-fits-all in waste management; each sector needs tailored strategies. At Advance Recycling, we adapt our systems to handle unique challenges, from high-volume factory scrap to 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, and semiconductor partners gain secure hazardous containment.

• Chip sector waste: Secure management of wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Automotive scrap: Smelting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
• Customized schedules: Daily pickups for construction sites vs. weekly for warehouses.

Retail and Office Waste Management

Retail has packaging volume; offices focus on data security. Cardboard compactors and secure shredders are deployed.

Program	Retail Sector	Office
Frequency	Bi-weekly pickups	Once per month
Key Materials	Boxboard and plastic film	Paper, e-waste
Extras	Balers for packaging	Certified data destruction

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

Sustainability’s Role in Recycling

With limited landfill space, sustainable practices are critical in Singapore. With Semakau Landfill projected to fill by 2035, poor disposal choices raise environmental risk and costs. Responsible recovery converts 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. We use certified processing to neutralize risks and recover valuable metals.

Driving Circularity

Upcycling transforms 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 loops extend material use and cut virgin inputs by 40%.

• Annual impact: 12,000 tons of CO2 cut via recovery programs.
• Audited metrics: Third-party audited sustainability reports track progress.
• Community 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.

Innovative Sorting and Processing Techniques

AI-powered optical scanners achieve 99.5% material purity—far surpassing manual sorting. Using hyperspectral imaging, plastics are identified in milliseconds.

Our partnership with NTU enhances polymer recovery through enzymatic breakdown. This approach extracts raw materials minus 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

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

We provide serialized destruction certificates for audit trails. Each 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.
