What Is a Full Recycling Service?

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

End-to-End Waste Management

Our comprehensive system covers:

• Waste Collection: Timetabled pickups to keep removal consistent.
• Separation: High-precision separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Material Processing: Responsible processing into reusable inputs.
• Reporting: Detailed reports for regulatory compliance.

How our Standard Plan compares with a Customized Plan:

Feature	Standard Plan	Customized Plan
Frequency	Once per week	Flexible (daily or monthly)
Materials	Basic (paper, plastic)	Specialized (e-waste, chemicals)
Documentation	Basic summaries	Detailed, audit-ready analytics

Tailored for Commercial and Industrial Needs

Commercial offices and manufacturing sites each have unique needs. Factories gain from volume pricing; corporate clients prioritize convenience. As examples:

• 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.

Real-time tracking features make audits simple. From pickup weights to final disposal, everything is documented.

Accepted Materials

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

Responsible E-Waste Disposal

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).
• Nickel-cadmium batteries and circuit boards (dismantled manually).

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 reaches 98% purity using electromagnetic separation. Frequent materials are:

• ABS plastic from manufacturing waste.
• Aluminum and steel alloys (melted 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-containing devices: Sealed vacuum extraction.

A documented chain of custody ensures compliance for each material.

Process Overview — Full Recycling Service

A structured process is the start of efficient waste handling. From office paper to industrial scrap, we ensure responsible recovery. Our three-step approach maximizes efficiency and meets NEA standards.

Step 1 — Collection & Segregation

We optimize routes with GPS-tracked vehicles and weight sensors. Teams use color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. It lowers contamination and hastens disposal.

• Smart bins: Sensors alert crews when bins are full.
• Regulatory 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. Drivers are trained in spill response protocols.

• Digital records: Capture weights and collection times.
• Thermal control: Prevents chemical degradation during transit.

Stage 3: Advanced Recovery

Plastics are sorted by infrared scanners as magnets capture metals. Our aluminum scrap recovery reaches 98%, 20% higher than average. Every step is documented for audits.

• Material reports: Show recovery rates by category.
• Circular loops: Feed materials back into local manufacturing.

End-to-end, this solution transforms waste into resources while avoiding landfills. Companies benefit from transparency and compliance throughout.

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

Waste solutions can be sustainable and cost-smart. Our partnership delivers eco and financial advantages, with full adherence to Singapore’s strict rules.

Cost-Smart, Eco-Friendly Programs

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.

Businesses also gain carbon credits through certified e-waste disposal. That converts compliance into revenue, eligible within Singapore’s carbon trading mechanisms.

Regulatory Compliance Made Simple

We make Resource Sustainability Act compliance simple. Digital audit trails provide 24/7 access to compliance records, from pickup to final processing.

We provide the following solutions:

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

Cross-Industry Solutions

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

Solutions for Industry

Factories need robust solutions for heavy waste streams. Our closed-loop systems recover 95% of automotive metal scrap, 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: Construction sites daily; warehouses weekly.

Commercial & Office Waste Solutions

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

Program	Retail	Office
Service Frequency	Bi-weekly pickups	Monthly
Primary Materials	Plastic film, boxes	Paper, e-waste
Key Features	Baling machines	Certified secure shredding

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

With limited landfill space, sustainable practices are critical in Singapore. Semakau Landfill is projected to reach capacity by 2035, improper disposal risks ecological damage and higher costs. Responsible recovery turns this challenge into opportunity.

Reducing Environmental Risks

Every ton of plastic recycled 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.

Supporting a Circular Economy

Upcycling transforms discarded electronics into urban furniture. Partner workshops turn circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs.

With Tuas Nexus, we convert food waste into biogas—powering 200+ households monthly. Closed-loop systems keep materials in use longer, cutting virgin resource needs by 40%.

• Yearly impact: 12,000 tons of CO2 cut via recovery programs.
• Verified metrics: Third-party audits verify sustainability progress.
• Community partnerships: Schools plus businesses join cleanup initiatives.

Tech-Enabled 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.

Cutting-Edge Sorting and Processing

AI-driven scanners hit 99.5% purity, outpacing manual methods. These systems identify plastic types in milliseconds using hyperspectral imaging.

Our partnership with NTU enhances polymer recovery through enzymatic breakdown. This green chemistry approach extracts raw materials without toxic byproducts.

• Blockchain tracks materials from collection to resale markets
• 98% metal recovery via electromagnetic separators
• Robotic systems manage hazardous items including 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. Devices go through:

1. Inspecting hardware for data components
2. Degauss magnetic media
3. End shredding down to 2mm particles

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