What Is 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.

All-Inclusive Waste Solutions

Our end-to-end system includes:

• Pickup: Regular pickups to ensure consistent removal.
• Separation: Sophisticated separation for plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Material Processing: Safe conversion into reusable raw materials.
• Reporting: Detailed reports for regulatory compliance.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Feature	Standard Plan	Customized Plan
Pickup Frequency	Weekly	Flexible (daily or monthly)
Material Scope	Core items (paper, plastic)	Advanced streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Analytics	Summary reports	Audit-ready analytics

Tailored for Commercial and Industrial Needs

Commercial offices and manufacturing sites each have unique needs. Factories gain from volume pricing; corporate clients prioritize convenience. For instance:

• A food manufacturer recycles 5 tons of packaging monthly, cutting costs by 20%.
• A tech factory securely processes 500+ devices per quarter, meeting NEA rules.

Audit processes are simplified by real-time tracking. From pickup weights to final disposal, everything is documented.

Materials 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.

Responsible E-Waste Disposal

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

• CRT displays and lithium-ion batteries (leak tests applied).
• Data-bearing devices (certified destruction to NEA standards).
• Nickel-cadmium batteries with circuit boards (hand dismantled).

Specialized equipment extracts reusable metals while neutralizing toxins.

Plastics and Metals: From Scrap to Reusable Products

Our sorting systems identify plastic types (PET, HDPE, LDPE) using infrared scanners. Metal recovery hits 98% purity via electromagnetic separation. Common materials include:

• Manufacturing-derived ABS plastic.
• Aluminum plus steel alloys (melted for reuse).

Specialized Items: Batteries, Steel, and More

Tailored solutions are required for complex items:

• Lead-acid batteries processed with neutralization and lead recovery.
• Graded stainless steel for smelting.
• Mercury-containing devices: Sealed vacuum extraction.

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

Process Overview — Full Recycling Service

A structured process is the start of efficient waste handling. 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. Teams use color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. That cuts contamination and accelerates disposal.

• Smart bins: Bin sensors trigger alerts when full.
• Regulatory labels: Labels match Singapore’s waste guidelines.

Step 2 — Transport & Handling

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

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

Step 3 — Recycling & 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.

• Category reports: Detail category recovery rates.
• Closed loops: Return materials to local production.

This end-to-end solution turns waste into resources without landfill reliance. At each stage, businesses gain transparency and compliance.

Why Choose Advance Recycling

Sustainability shouldn’t strain your budget or the planet. Working with us unlocks both financial and environmental benefits, with full adherence to Singapore’s strict rules.

Green Solutions with Strong ROI

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. Compliance becomes a revenue opportunity, eligible within Singapore’s carbon trading mechanisms.

Compliance with Singapore’s Environmental Regulations

We make Resource Sustainability Act compliance simple. Digital audit trails provide 24/7 access to compliance records, covering pickup through final processing.

Our solutions include:

• Automatic reports tailored for NEA inspections.
• Hazardous material handling certified by SCAL.
• Real-time tracking that helps avoid penalties.

Cross-Industry Solutions

There’s no one-size-fits-all in waste management; each sector needs tailored strategies. We tailor systems to manage sector-specific challenges, covering high-volume scrap and secure office paper disposal alike.

Manufacturing and Industrial Clients

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

• Semiconductor waste: Secure management of wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Auto metal scrap: Smelting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
• 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.

Service	Retail Sector	Office
Frequency	Bi-weekly pickups	Monthly
Primary Materials	Plastic film, boxes	Paper and e-waste
Key Features	On-site balers	IMDA-grade data destruction

Regional HQs of Fortune 500 firms rely on audit-ready tracking. Food & beverage clients cut 25% using optimized schedules.

The Importance of Sustainability in Recycling

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

Cutting Environmental Risk

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.

Hazardous materials like lithium batteries pose fire risks if landfilled. Certified processing neutralizes these threats as we recover valuable metals.

Supporting a Circular Economy

Upcycling transforms discarded electronics into urban furniture. Across 15 HDB hubs, partners repurpose circuit boards into benches.

With Tuas Nexus, we convert food waste into biogas—powering 200+ households monthly. Closed loops extend material use and cut virgin inputs by 40%.

• Yearly impact: 12,000 tons of CO2 cut via recovery programs.
• Audited metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
• Community partnerships: Businesses and schools team up for cleanup efforts.

Technology that Powers Recycling

Modern recycling relies on smart systems to maximize efficiency and security. AI and blockchain are integrated in Singapore facilities for high-precision recovery.

Cutting-Edge Sorting and Processing

AI-driven scanners hit 99.5% purity, outpacing manual methods. 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 tracks materials from collection to resale markets
• Electromagnetic separation achieves 98% metal recovery
• Robotics handle hazardous items such as lithium batteries

Data Security in E-Waste

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

Audit trails include serialized destruction certificates. Each device undergoes:

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

R&D teams test evolving methods to address encryption. That ensures compliance as storage tech evolves.
