Full Recycling Service Explained

Businesses in Singapore face mounting pressure to manage waste efficiently. A Full Recycling Service streamlines this process, spanning pickup through final processing. It returns materials to production and reduces dependence on landfills.

All-Inclusive Waste Solutions

Our end-to-end system includes:

Waste Collection: Timetabled pickups to keep removal consistent.
Sorting: High-precision separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
Treatment: 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
Frequency	Weekly	Flexible (daily or monthly)
Materials	Core items (paper, plastic)	Special streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Analytics	Summary reports	Detailed, audit-ready analytics

Built for Commercial & Industrial Needs

Offices and factories have different needs. Industrial sites benefit from volume pricing; corporates value convenience. For example:

One food manufacturer recycles 5 tons of packaging each month, reducing costs by 20%.
An electronics plant processes 500+ devices each quarter securely to meet NEA standards.

Compliance features like real-time tracking simplify audits. Every step is documented, from pickup weights to final 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.

Electronics Recycling Done Right

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

CRT displays and lithium-ion batteries (leak tests applied).
Devices with data (certified NEA-standard destruction).
Nickel-cadmium batteries and circuit boards (dismantled manually).

Special equipment extracts 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. Typical materials include:

Manufacturing-derived ABS plastic.
Aluminum and steel alloys (smelted for industrial reuse).

Special Items — Batteries, Steel & More

Complex items call for customized approaches:

Lead-acid batteries with acid 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. We responsibly recover all materials, from office paper to industrial scrap. Our three-step system maximizes efficiency while meeting Singapore’s NEA standards.

Stage 1: Collect and Segregate

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

Smart bin tech: Sensors notify crews at fill-level.
Compliance labels: Labels match Singapore’s waste guidelines.

Step 2: Safe Transportation and Handling

We pack hazardous materials, including batteries, 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.
Thermal control: Prevents degradation in transit.

Step 3 — Recycling & Recovery

Infrared scanners sort plastics by type, while magnets extract metals. Aluminum scrap recovery hits 98%—20% above the industry average. All steps are documented for auditability.

Material reports: Show recovery rates by category.
Closed-loop systems: Reuse materials in local manufacturing.

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

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

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

Green Solutions with Strong ROI

We cut operational costs up to 30% via waste-to-energy. 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 simplify the Resource Sustainability Act requirements. Digital trails offer round-the-clock access to compliance records, from pickup to final processing.

We provide the following solutions:

Automatic reports tailored for NEA inspections.
SCAL-certified hazardous material handling.
Live tracking to reduce regulatory risk.

Industries We Serve

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.

Industrial & Manufacturing

Factories need robust solutions for heavy waste streams. Closed-loop systems recover up to 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: Melting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
Customized schedules: Daily for construction; 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 Clients	Office
Service Frequency	Bi-weekly pickups	Once per month
Main Materials	Plastic film, boxes	Office paper, e-waste
Extras	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.

Why Sustainability Matters in Recycling

Limited landfill capacity makes sustainable practices vital in Singapore. Semakau Landfill is projected to reach capacity by 2035, poor disposal choices raise environmental risk and costs. Responsible recovery creates opportunity from challenge.

Reducing Environmental Risks

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. Certified processing neutralizes these threats as we recover valuable metals.

Driving Circularity

Discarded electronics become urban furniture via upcycling. Across 15 HDB hubs, partners repurpose circuit boards into benches.

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: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
Validated metrics: Third-party audits verify sustainability progress.
Community programs: Schools and businesses join clean-up initiatives.

Technology that Powers 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-driven scanners hit 99.5% purity, outpacing manual methods. These systems identify plastic types in milliseconds using hyperspectral imaging.

Partnering with NTU improves polymer recovery via enzymatic breakdown. This approach extracts raw materials minus toxic byproducts.

Blockchain tracks materials from collection to resale markets
Electromagnetic separation achieves 98% metal recovery
Robotic arms handle hazardous items like lithium batteries

Data Security for E-Waste Disposal

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.

Audit trails include serialized destruction certificates. Each device undergoes:

Inspecting hardware for data components
Magnetic media degaussing
Shredding to 2mm particles

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