• Our Core Values: Integrity, accountability, and eco-friendly practices.
• Our Goals: Reduce landfill reliance and boost resource recovery rates.

Defining a Full Recycling Service

Companies in Singapore are under growing pressure to manage waste well. A Full Recycling Service simplifies the process, from pickup to end processing. It ensures materials re-enter production cycles, reducing landfill reliance.

End-to-End Waste Management

Our end-to-end system includes:

• Pickup: Timetabled pickups to keep removal consistent.
• Sorting: Sophisticated separation for plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Treatment: Safe conversion into reusable raw materials.
• Compliance Docs: Thorough reports to meet regulations.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Customized for Business and Industry

Offices and factories have different needs. Factories gain from volume pricing; corporate clients prioritize convenience. For example:

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

Compliance features like real-time tracking simplify audits. From pickup weights to final disposal, everything is documented.

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 methods comply with Singapore’s stringent environmental standards.

E-Waste: Responsible Electronics Disposal

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

• 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 & Metals — From Scrap to Reuse

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

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

Special Items — Batteries, Steel & More

Complex items call for customized approaches:

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

Each material follows a documented chain of custody for compliance.

Process Overview — Full Recycling Service

Efficient waste handling starts with a structured process. We responsibly recover all materials, from office paper to industrial scrap. Using three steps, we maximize efficiency and meet NEA requirements.

Stage 1: Collect and Segregate

We optimize routes with GPS-tracked vehicles and weight sensors. Teams use color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. That cuts contamination and accelerates disposal.

• Sensor bins: Bin sensors trigger alerts when 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. Drivers receive spill-response training.

• e-Logs: Track waste weight and pickup times.
• Temperature control: Prevents degradation in transit.

Stage 3: Advanced Recovery

We use infrared sorting for plastics and magnetic extraction for metals. We recover 98% of aluminum scrap—20% above industry averages. All steps are documented for auditability.

• Recovery 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.

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

Sustainability shouldn’t strain your budget or the planet. Partnering with us unlocks financial and environmental advantages, while staying aligned to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly Solutions

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.

Certified e-waste disposal can earn businesses carbon credits. Compliance becomes a revenue opportunity, including eligibility under Singapore’s carbon trading schemes.

Stay Compliant in Singapore

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

Included in our solutions:

• Automated reporting for NEA inspections.
• SCAL-certified HAZMAT handling protocols.
• Real-time tracking that helps avoid penalties.

Industries We Serve

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

Industrial & Manufacturing

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

• Chip sector waste: Handled securely: 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 and Office Waste Management

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

Fortune 500 headquarters use our audit-ready tracking. Even F&B businesses cut costs by 25% with optimized waste schedules.

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 converts this challenge into opportunity.

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. We use certified processing to neutralize risks and recover valuable metals.

Driving Circularity

Upcycling turns 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-loop systems keep materials in use longer, cutting virgin resource needs 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.

Advanced Technology in Recycling

Today’s recycling relies on smart systems for efficiency and security. Singapore’s facilities now integrate artificial intelligence and blockchain for unprecedented precision in waste recovery.

Innovative Sorting and Processing Techniques

AI-powered optical scanners achieve 99.5% material purity—far surpassing manual sorting. They identify plastic types in milliseconds with hyperspectral imaging.

Partnering with NTU improves polymer recovery via 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

Data Security in E-Waste

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

Audit trails include serialized destruction certificates. Each device undergoes:

1. Physical inspection for data storage components
2. Degauss magnetic media
3. Final shredding to 2mm particles

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