Full Recycling Service Explained

Companies in Singapore are under growing pressure to manage waste well. 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

Our comprehensive system covers:

• Pickup: Scheduled pickups for consistent waste removal.
• Separation: High-precision separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Material Processing: Safe conversion into reusable raw materials.
• Compliance Docs: Detailed reports for regulatory compliance.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Aspect	Standard Plan	Custom Plan
Service Frequency	Once per week	Flexible (daily/monthly)
Material Scope	Basic streams (paper, plastic)	Advanced streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Reporting	Basic summaries	Audit-ready analytics

Customized for Business and Industry

Offices and factories have different needs. Factories gain from volume pricing; corporate clients prioritize convenience. For example:

• A food producer recycles 5 tons monthly and trims costs by 20%.
• A tech factory securely processes 500+ devices per quarter, meeting NEA rules.

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

Accepted Materials

From old smartphones to factory scrap, many materials can get a second life. We process varied streams for safe and efficient recovery. All processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

Electronics Recycling Done Right

E-waste holds hazardous items such as mercury and lead. We safely process:

• CRT monitors and lithium-ion batteries (tested for leaks).
• Data devices (NEA-certified destruction).
• Nickel-cadmium batteries with circuit boards (hand dismantled).

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 achieves 98% purity through electromagnetic separation. Frequent materials are:

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

Complex Items: Batteries, Steel, Etc.

Tailored solutions are required for complex items:

• Lead-acid batteries processed with 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.

Our Full Recycling Service Process

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.

Step 1: Waste Collection and Segregation

GPS-tracked, weight-sensing vehicles optimize our routes. Teams deploy color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. It lowers contamination and hastens disposal.

• Sensor bins: Sensors notify crews at fill-level.
• Regulatory labels: Labels aligned with NEA waste guidelines.

Step 2 — Transport & Handling

We pack hazardous materials, including batteries, in triple-layer containers. Secure transit is ensured with real-time tracking. Drivers are trained in spill response protocols.

• Digital logs: Track waste weight and pickup times.
• Temperature control: Prevents chemical degradation during transit.

Stage 3: Advanced Recovery

Infrared scanners sort plastics by type, while magnets extract metals. We recover 98% of aluminum scrap—20% above industry averages. All steps are documented for auditability.

• Category reports: Display recovery rates by material category.
• Circular loops: 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

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

Our waste-to-energy programs cut operational costs by up to 30%. Example: 1 ton of plastic waste powers 50 HDB flats for a day.

Companies can gain carbon credits via certified e-waste disposal. That converts compliance into revenue, including eligibility under Singapore’s carbon trading schemes.

Regulatory Compliance Made Simple

We simplify the Resource Sustainability Act requirements. 24/7 digital audit trails provide compliance records, covering pickup through final processing.

Included in our solutions:

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

Industries We Serve

Waste management isn’t one-size-fits-all—each sector demands tailored strategies. We tailor systems to manage sector-specific challenges, from high-volume factory scrap to confidential office paper disposal.

Manufacturing and Industrial Clients

Factories need robust solutions for heavy waste streams. We recover 95% of automotive metal scrap via closed loops, while semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous material containment.

• Semiconductor waste: Secure handling of silicon wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Automotive scrap: Melting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
• Custom schedules: Daily pickups for construction sites vs. weekly for warehouses.

Commercial & Office Waste Solutions

Retailers face packaging overload, while offices prioritize data security. Compactors tackle cardboard; shredders handle sensitive documents.

Service	Retail Sector	Office Sector
Frequency	Twice weekly	Monthly schedule
Key Materials	Plastic film, boxes	Paper and e-waste
Special Features	On-site balers	Certified data destruction

Fortune 500 headquarters use our audit-ready tracking. F&B sites trim costs 25% via optimized schedules.

The Importance of Sustainability in Recycling

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

Cutting Environmental Risk

Recycling one ton of plastic averts 2kg of marine debris. Our programs divert 3,000+ tons annually—equivalent to clearing 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 transforms 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. Circular loops lengthen material life and reduce virgin inputs by 40%.

• Impact per year: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
• Verified metrics: Third-party audited sustainability reports track progress.
• Community partnerships: Schools plus businesses join cleanup initiatives.

Advanced Technology in Recycling

Modern recycling relies on smart systems to maximize efficiency and security. AI and blockchain are integrated in Singapore facilities for high-precision recovery.

Cutting-Edge Sorting and Processing

AI-powered optical scanners achieve 99.5% material purity—far surpassing manual sorting. These systems identify plastic types in milliseconds using 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 separation achieves 98% metal recovery
• Robotic systems manage hazardous items including lithium batteries

Data Security for E-Waste Disposal

IMDA-certified, military-grade wiping is required for corporate IT assets. We use a three-pass overwrite that meets strict cybersecurity standards in Singapore.

Audit trails include serialized destruction certificates. Devices go through:

1. Physical inspection for data storage components
2. Degauss magnetic media
3. End shredding down to 2mm particles

Our R&D continually tests new techniques against encryption. This ensures compliance as storage technology evolves.
