Full Recycling Service Explained
Businesses in Singapore face mounting pressure to manage waste efficiently. A end-to-end recycling service simplifies the process, covering everything from pickup to final processing. It keeps materials in production cycles and cuts landfill use.
Comprehensive Waste Management Solutions
We deliver a complete system that includes:
- Pickup: Regular pickups to ensure consistent removal.
- Advanced Sorting: Sophisticated separation for plastics, metals, and e-waste.
- Treatment: Secure conversion into reusable feedstocks.
- Compliance Docs: Audit-ready reports for compliance.
Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:
| Category | Baseline Plan | Tailored Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Frequency | Weekly | Flexible (daily/monthly) |
| Accepted Materials | Basic (paper, plastic) | Special streams (e-waste, chemicals) |
| Analytics | Summary reports | Audit-ready analytics |
Customized for Business and Industry
Commercial offices and manufacturing sites each have unique needs. Factories gain from volume pricing; corporate clients prioritize 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.
Audit processes are simplified by real-time tracking. All steps are documented—from pickup weights to disposal methods.
What 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.
Responsible E-Waste Disposal
Electronics often include hazardous items like mercury and lead. We process responsibly:
- CRT displays and lithium-ion batteries (leak tests applied).
- Data devices (NEA-certified destruction).
- Nickel-cadmium batteries with circuit boards (hand dismantled).
Our equipment captures 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. Frequent materials are:
- ABS plastic from manufacturing waste.
- Aluminum and steel alloys (smelted for industrial reuse).
Specialized Items: Batteries, Steel, and More
Tailored solutions are required for complex items:
- Lead-acid batteries processed with neutralization and lead recovery.
- Graded stainless steel for smelting.
- Mercury devices processed via sealed vacuum extraction.
A documented chain of custody ensures compliance for each material.
How Our Full Service Works
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.
Step 1: Waste Collection and Segregation
We optimize routes with GPS-tracked vehicles and weight sensors. Color-coded bins help teams separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. That cuts contamination and accelerates disposal.
- Smart bins: Sensors alert crews when bins are full.
- Compliance labels: Labels match Singapore’s waste guidelines.
Step 2: Safe Transportation and Handling
Hazardous items such as batteries go into triple-layer containers. Secure transit is ensured with real-time tracking. All drivers are trained on spill response.
- Digital records: Record weights and pickup times.
- Temperature control: Prevents degradation in transit.
Step 3 — Recycling & Recovery
Plastics are sorted by infrared scanners as magnets capture metals. Aluminum scrap recovery hits 98%—20% above the industry average. Each step is fully documented for audits.
- Recovery reports: Detail category recovery rates.
- 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
Sustainable waste solutions shouldn’t break the bank—or the planet. Partnering with us unlocks financial and environmental advantages, all while adhering 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.
Companies can gain carbon credits via certified e-waste disposal. That converts compliance into revenue, including eligibility under Singapore’s carbon trading schemes.
Stay Compliant in Singapore
We streamline compliance with the Resource Sustainability Act. 24/7 digital audit trails provide compliance records, from pickup to final processing.
We provide the following solutions:
- Automated NEA inspection reporting.
- Hazardous material handling certified by SCAL.
- Real-time tracking to prevent regulatory penalties.
Industries We Serve
Every sector needs tailored waste strategies; one size doesn’t fit all. At Advance Recycling, we adapt our systems to handle unique challenges, whether it’s high-volume factory scrap or confidential office paper disposal.
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 waste: Secure handling of silicon 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. We deploy compactors for cardboard and shredders for sensitive documents.
| Offering | Retail | Office Clients |
|---|---|---|
| Service Frequency | Two times per week | Monthly schedule |
| Primary Materials | Plastic film, boxes | Office paper, e-waste |
| Key Features | Balers for packaging | Certified secure shredding |
Regional HQs of Fortune 500 firms rely on 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 Landfill is projected to reach capacity by 2035, poor disposal choices raise environmental risk and costs. Responsible recovery creates opportunity from challenge.
Lowering Ecological 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.
Lithium batteries in landfills present fire hazards. We use certified processing to neutralize risks and recover valuable metals.
Driving Circularity
Upcycling turns discarded electronics into urban furniture. Partner workshops turn circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs.
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%.
- Impact per year: 12,000 tons of CO2 cut via recovery programs.
- Verified metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
- Community programs: Schools plus businesses join cleanup initiatives.
Technology that Powers Recycling
Modern recycling relies on smart systems to maximize efficiency and security. AI and blockchain are integrated in Singapore facilities for high-precision recovery.
Next-Gen Sorting & Processing
AI-driven scanners hit 99.5% purity, outpacing manual methods. 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 tracks materials from collection to resale markets
- Electromagnetic separators recover metals with 98% efficiency
- Robotic systems manage hazardous items including lithium batteries
Data Security for E-Waste Disposal
Corporate IT assets require military-grade data wiping certified by IMDA. We use a three-pass overwrite that meets strict cybersecurity standards in Singapore.
We provide serialized destruction certificates for audit trails. Devices go through:
- Inspecting hardware for data components
- Degaussing of magnetic media
- End shredding down to 2mm particles
R&D teams test evolving methods to address encryption. That ensures compliance as storage tech evolves.
