Full Recycling Service Explained

Companies in Singapore are under growing pressure to manage waste well. A Full Recycling Service simplifies the process, spanning pickup through final processing. It returns materials to production and reduces dependence on landfills.

End-to-End Waste Management

Our comprehensive system covers:

Collection: Regular pickups to ensure consistent removal.
Advanced Sorting: High-precision separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
Material Processing: Responsible processing into reusable inputs.
Reporting: Thorough reports to meet regulations.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Feature	Standard Plan	Custom Plan
Service Frequency	Weekly schedule	Flexible (from daily to monthly)
Material Scope	Core items (paper, plastic)	Advanced streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Reporting	Standard summaries	Audit-ready analytics

Tailored for Commercial and Industrial Needs

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

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

Audit processes are simplified by real-time tracking. 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. Our methods comply with Singapore’s stringent environmental standards.

Electronics Recycling Done Right

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

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

Specialized equipment extracts reusable metals while neutralizing toxins.

Plastics & Metals — From Scrap to Reuse

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).

Complex Items: Batteries, Steel, Etc.

Tailored solutions are required for complex items:

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

A documented chain of custody ensures compliance for each material.

Process Overview — Full Recycling Service

Efficient waste handling starts with a structured process. 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.

Stage 1: Collect and Segregate

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

Sensor bins: Sensors alert crews when bins are full.
Regulatory labels: Labels aligned with NEA waste guidelines.

Step 2 — Transport & Handling

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

e-Logs: Record weights and pickup times.
Temp control: Stops chemical degradation during transport.

Stage 3: Advanced Recovery

Infrared scanners sort plastics by type, while magnets extract metals. Our aluminum scrap recovery reaches 98%, 20% higher than average. All steps are documented for auditability.

Recovery reports: Show recovery rates by category.
Closed loops: Return materials to local production.

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

Why Choose Advance Recycling

Sustainable waste solutions shouldn’t break the bank—or the planet. Working with us unlocks both financial and environmental benefits, while staying aligned to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Cost-Smart, Eco-Friendly Programs

Waste-to-energy initiatives reduce operational costs by as much as 30%. For example, converting 1 ton of plastic waste generates enough energy to power 50 HDB flats for a day.

Businesses also gain carbon credits through certified e-waste disposal. This turns compliance into a revenue stream, 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, from pickup to final processing.

Included in our solutions:

Automatic reports tailored for NEA inspections.
SCAL-certified hazardous material handling.
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, whether it’s high-volume factory scrap or confidential office paper disposal.

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 partners gain secure hazardous containment.

Semiconductor waste: Secure handling of silicon wafers and chemical byproducts.
Auto metal scrap: Melting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
Custom schedules: Daily for construction; weekly for warehouses.

Retail & Office Programs

Service	Retail	Office Clients
Frequency	Two times per week	Monthly
Key Materials	Boxboard and plastic film	Paper and e-waste
Special Features	Baling machines	Certified secure shredding

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

Sustainability’s Role in Recycling

Singapore’s limited landfill space makes sustainable waste practices critical. Semakau Landfill is projected to reach capacity by 2035, improper disposal risks ecological damage and higher costs. Responsible recovery converts this challenge into opportunity.

Lowering Ecological Risks

Each ton of recycled plastic prevents 2kg of marine debris. Annually, 3,000+ tons diverted—about 25 football fields of ocean waste.

Landfilled lithium batteries and other hazardous materials pose fire risks. Through certified processing, we neutralize these threats while recovering valuable metals.

Driving Circularity

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

Via Tuas Nexus, food waste is converted to biogas powering 200+ households monthly. Circular loops lengthen material life and reduce virgin inputs by 40%.

Impact per year: CO2 reduced by 12,000 tons through recovery.
Audited metrics: Third-party audits verify sustainability progress.
Community programs: Businesses and schools team up for cleanup efforts.

Advanced Technology in Recycling

Today’s recycling relies on smart systems for efficiency and security. AI and blockchain are integrated in Singapore facilities for high-precision 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.

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
Robotic arms handle hazardous items like 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.

We provide serialized destruction certificates for audit trails. Devices go through:

Physical inspection for data storage components
Degauss magnetic media
Shredding to 2mm particles

Our R&D continually tests new techniques against encryption. Ensuring compliance as storage technology advances.
