What Is a Full Recycling Service?

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

End-to-End Waste Management

We deliver a complete system that includes:

• Pickup: Regular pickups to ensure consistent removal.
• Sorting: High-precision separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Material Processing: Secure conversion into reusable feedstocks.
• Compliance Docs: Detailed reports for regulatory compliance.

How our Standard Plan compares with a Customized Plan:

Feature	Baseline Plan	Customized Plan
Service Frequency	Once per week	Flexible (daily or monthly)
Material Scope	Basic streams (paper, plastic)	Special streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Documentation	Standard summaries	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 instance:

• A food producer recycles 5 tons monthly and trims costs by 20%.
• An electronics factory securely processes 500+ devices quarterly, meeting NEA standards.

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

Materials We Recycle

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

Electronics Recycling Done Right

Discarded electronics contain hazardous items like mercury and lead. We handle safely:

• CRT displays and lithium-ion batteries (leak tests applied).
• Data devices (NEA-certified destruction).
• Ni-Cd batteries plus circuit boards (manual dismantling).

Specialized equipment extracts reusable metals while neutralizing toxins.

Turning Plastic and Metal Scrap into Reusable Goods

Infrared scanners let our systems identify plastic types (PET, HDPE, LDPE). Metal recovery hits 98% purity via electromagnetic separation. Frequent materials are:

• ABS plastic from manufacturing waste.
• Aluminum and steel alloys (smelted for industrial reuse).

Complex Items: Batteries, Steel, Etc.

Complex items need tailored solutions:

• 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.

How Our Full Service Works

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.

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. This reduces contamination and speeds up disposal.

• Smart bin tech: Sensors alert crews when bins are full.
• NEA compliance: Labels match Singapore’s waste guidelines.

Step 2 — Transport & Handling

We pack hazardous materials, including batteries, in triple-layer containers. Real-time tracking maintains secure facility transit. All drivers are trained on spill response.

• e-Logs: Capture weights and collection times.
• Temp control: Prevents chemical degradation during 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. Each step is fully documented for audits.

• Recovery reports: Detail category recovery rates.
• Closed-loop systems: Reuse materials in local manufacturing.

End-to-end, this solution transforms waste into resources while avoiding landfills. At each stage, businesses gain transparency and compliance.

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

Waste solutions can be sustainable and cost-smart. Working with us unlocks both financial and environmental benefits, while staying aligned to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly Solutions

Our waste-to-energy programs cut operational costs by up to 30%. For instance, 1 ton of plastic can power 50 HDB flats for one day.

Companies can gain carbon credits via certified e-waste disposal. This turns compliance into a revenue stream, with eligibility for Singapore’s carbon trading schemes.

Compliance with Singapore’s Environmental Regulations

We streamline compliance with the Resource Sustainability Act. 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.
• Hazardous material handling certified by SCAL.
• Real-time tracking to prevent regulatory penalties.

Cross-Industry Solutions

Every sector needs tailored waste strategies; one size doesn’t fit all. Advance Recycling adapts systems for unique challenges, covering high-volume scrap and secure office paper disposal alike.

Manufacturing and Industrial Clients

Factories need robust solutions for heavy waste streams. Closed-loop systems recover up to 95% of automotive metal scrap, and semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous containment.

• Semiconductor streams: Secure handling of silicon wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Automotive scrap: Smelting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
• Customized schedules: Construction sites daily; warehouses weekly.

Commercial & Office Waste Solutions

Retailers face packaging overload, while offices prioritize data security. Cardboard compactors and secure shredders are deployed.

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

Fortune 500 headquarters use our audit-ready tracking. Food & beverage clients cut 25% using optimized schedules.

Sustainability’s Role in Recycling

With limited landfill space, sustainable practices are critical in Singapore. Semakau may be full by 2035, improper disposal risks ecological damage and higher costs. Responsible recovery turns this challenge into opportunity.

Lowering Ecological Risks

Every ton of plastic recycled prevents 2kg of marine debris. Our programs divert 3,000+ tons annually—equivalent to clearing 25 football fields of ocean waste.

Lithium batteries in landfills present fire hazards. Certified processing neutralizes these threats as we recover valuable metals.

Enabling the Circular Economy

Upcycling turns discarded electronics into urban furniture. Partner workshops repurpose circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs across Singapore.

Tuas Nexus converts food waste to biogas, powering 200+ households each month. Closed-loop systems keep materials in use longer, cutting virgin resource needs by 40%.

• Annual impact: 12,000 tons of CO2 cut via recovery programs.
• Verified metrics: Third-party audits verify sustainability progress.
• Community programs: Schools and businesses join clean-up initiatives.

Advanced Technology in Recycling

Recycling now uses 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 optical scanners deliver 99.5% purity—well above manual sorting. Using hyperspectral imaging, plastics are identified in milliseconds.

With NTU, we enhance polymer recovery using enzymatic methods. Green chemistry lets us extract raw materials without toxic byproducts.

• Blockchain provides traceability from collection to resale
• Electromagnetic separators recover metals with 98% efficiency
• Robotics handle hazardous items such as lithium batteries

Securing Data During E-Waste Processing

Corporate IT assets require military-grade data wiping certified by IMDA. 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. Magnetic media degaussing
3. Final shredding to 2mm particles

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