  • Core Values: Integrity, accountability, and green practices.
  • Goals: Reduce landfill reliance and boost resource recovery rates.

Defining a Full Recycling Service

Singapore businesses face increasing pressure to manage waste efficiently. A Full Recycling Service streamlines this process, spanning pickup through final processing. It ensures materials re-enter production cycles, reducing landfill reliance.

All-Inclusive Waste Solutions

We deliver a complete system that includes:

  • Waste Collection: Scheduled pickups for consistent waste removal.
  • Sorting: Sophisticated separation for plastics, metals, and e-waste.
  • Processing: Secure conversion into reusable feedstocks.
  • Documentation: Audit-ready reports for compliance.

Below is a comparison of standard vs tailored plans:

Aspect Standard Custom Plan
Frequency Weekly schedule Flexible (daily or monthly)
Material Scope Basic streams (paper, plastic) Specialized (e-waste, chemicals)
Documentation Standard summaries Detailed, audit-ready analytics

Tailored for Commercial and Industrial Needs

Manufacturing plants and offices have distinct needs. Factories gain from volume pricing; corporate clients prioritize convenience. As examples:

  • A food producer recycles 5 tons monthly and trims costs by 20%.
  • An electronics plant processes 500+ devices each quarter securely to meet NEA standards.

Real-time tracking features make audits simple. 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 manage diverse streams to ensure safe, efficient recovery. Our processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

E-Waste: Responsible Electronics Disposal

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

  • CRT monitors and lithium-ion batteries (tested for leaks).
  • Data-bearing devices (certified destruction to NEA standards).
  • Ni-Cd batteries plus circuit boards (manual dismantling).

Special equipment extracts reusable metals and neutralizes toxins.

Turning Plastic and Metal Scrap into Reusable Goods

Our sorting systems identify plastic types (PET, HDPE, LDPE) using infrared scanners. Metal recovery achieves 98% purity through electromagnetic separation. Frequent materials are:

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

Specialized Items: Batteries, Steel, and More

Complex items call for customized approaches:

  • Lead-acid batteries processed with 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.

Our Full Recycling Service Process

A structured process is the start of efficient waste handling. We ensure every material—from office paper to industrial scrap—is recovered responsibly. Our three-step system maximizes efficiency while meeting Singapore’s NEA standards.

Step 1 — Collection & Segregation

GPS-tracked, weight-sensing vehicles optimize our routes. Teams deploy color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. This reduces contamination and speeds up disposal.

  • Smart bins: Bin sensors trigger alerts when full.
  • 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. All drivers are trained on spill response.

  • Digital logs: Track waste weight and pickup times.
  • Thermal control: Stops chemical degradation during transport.

Step 3: Advanced Recycling and Recovery

Plastics are sorted by infrared scanners as magnets capture metals. Our aluminum scrap recovery reaches 98%, 20% higher than average. All steps are documented for auditability.

  • Material reports: Show recovery rates by category.
  • Closed-loop systems: Feed materials back into local manufacturing.

This comprehensive solution turns waste into resources and reduces landfill dependence. Companies benefit from transparency and compliance throughout.

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

Sustainability shouldn’t strain your budget or the planet. Our partnership delivers eco and financial advantages, all while adhering to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Cost-Smart, Eco-Friendly Programs

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.

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

Regulatory Compliance Made Simple

We simplify the Resource Sustainability Act requirements. Digital audit trails provide 24/7 access to compliance records, spanning the full chain from pickup to processing.

We provide the following solutions:

  • Automated NEA inspection reporting.
  • Hazardous material handling certified by SCAL.
  • Real-time tracking that helps avoid penalties.

Industries We Serve

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. Closed-loop systems recover up to 95% of automotive metal scrap, and semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous containment.

  • Semiconductor waste: Secure handling of silicon wafers and chemical byproducts.
  • Vehicle scrap: Melt, reform, and reuse steel alloys.
  • Custom schedules: Daily for construction; weekly for warehouses.

Retail and Office Waste Management

Retail deals with packaging surges; offices prioritize data security. We deploy compactors for cardboard and shredders for sensitive documents.

Service Retail Sector Office Clients
Service Frequency Bi-weekly pickups Monthly
Main Materials Plastic film and 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. F&B sites trim costs 25% via optimized schedules.

Sustainability’s Role 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 turns this challenge into opportunity.

Reducing Environmental Risks

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.

Landfilled lithium batteries and other hazardous materials pose fire risks. We use certified processing to neutralize risks and recover valuable metals.

Supporting a Circular Economy

Discarded electronics become urban furniture via upcycling. Partner workshops repurpose circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs across Singapore.

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.
  • Validated metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
  • Community programs: Businesses and schools team up for cleanup efforts.

Technology that Powers 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 optical scanners deliver 99.5% purity—well above manual sorting. They identify plastic types in milliseconds with hyperspectral imaging.

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

  • Blockchain ensures traceability end-to-end
  • Electromagnetic separators recover metals with 98% efficiency
  • Robotic systems manage hazardous items including lithium batteries

Data Security in E-Waste

Corporate IT assets require military-grade data wiping certified by IMDA. Our three-pass overwrite process meets Singapore’s strict cybersecurity standards for sensitive information.

Audit trails include serialized destruction certificates. Every device undergoes:

  1. Physical inspection for data storage components
  2. Magnetic media degaussing
  3. Shredding to 2mm particles

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