  • Material Processing: Safe conversion into reusable raw materials.
  • Compliance Docs: Thorough reports to meet regulations.

How our Standard Plan compares with a Customized Plan:

Aspect Baseline Plan Customized Plan
Frequency Once per week Flexible (daily/monthly)
Material Scope Basic streams (paper, plastic) Special streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Documentation Summary reports Audit-ready analytics

Customized for Business and Industry

Commercial offices and manufacturing sites each have unique needs. Factories benefit from volume-based pricing, while 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. All steps are documented—from pickup weights to disposal methods.

What We Recycle

A wide range of materials, from phones to factory scrap, can be reborn. We process varied streams for safe and efficient recovery. Our methods comply with Singapore’s stringent environmental standards.

Responsible E-Waste Disposal

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

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

Specialized equipment extracts reusable metals while neutralizing toxins.

Plastics & Metals — From Scrap to Reuse

Infrared scanners let our systems identify plastic types (PET, HDPE, LDPE). Metal recovery hits 98% purity via electromagnetic separation. Typical materials include:

  • ABS plastic from manufacturing waste.
  • Aluminum plus steel alloys (melted for reuse).

Special Items — Batteries, Steel & More

Tailored solutions are required for complex items:

  • Lead-acid batteries: Acid neutralization and lead recovery.
  • Graded stainless steel for smelting.
  • Mercury-containing devices: Sealed vacuum extraction.

Each material follows a documented chain of custody for compliance.

Process Overview — Full Recycling Service

Efficient waste handling starts with a structured process. From office paper to industrial scrap, we ensure responsible recovery. Using three steps, we maximize efficiency and meet NEA requirements.

Stage 1: Collect and Segregate

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

  • Smart bin tech: Bin sensors trigger alerts when full.
  • Compliance labels: Labeling aligned to Singapore guidelines.

Step 2: Safe Transportation and Handling

Hazardous items such as batteries go into triple-layer containers. Real-time tracking ensures secure transit to facilities. Drivers receive spill-response training.

  • Digital records: Track waste weight and pickup times.
  • Thermal control: Prevents degradation in transit.

Stage 3: Advanced Recovery

Plastics are sorted by infrared scanners as magnets capture metals. We recover 98% of aluminum scrap—20% above industry averages. All steps are documented for auditability.

  • Material reports: Display recovery rates by material category.
  • Closed loops: Return materials to local production.

This end-to-end solution turns waste into resources without landfill reliance. At each stage, businesses gain transparency and compliance.

Why Choose Advance Recycling

Waste solutions can be sustainable and cost-smart. Our partnership delivers eco and financial advantages, while staying aligned to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly Solutions

Waste-to-energy initiatives reduce operational costs by as much as 30%. Example: 1 ton of plastic waste powers 50 HDB flats for a day.

Certified e-waste disposal can earn businesses carbon credits. 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. 24/7 digital audit trails provide compliance records, covering pickup through final processing.

Our solutions include:

  • Automatic reports tailored for NEA inspections.
  • SCAL-certified hazardous material handling.
  • Real-time tracking to prevent regulatory penalties.

Cross-Industry Solutions

Waste management isn’t one-size-fits-all—each sector demands tailored strategies. Advance Recycling adapts systems for unique challenges, covering high-volume scrap and secure office paper disposal alike.

Solutions for Industry

Factories need robust solutions for heavy waste streams. Closed-loop systems recover up to 95% of automotive metal scrap, and semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous containment.

  • Semiconductor waste: Handled securely: wafers and chemical byproducts.
  • Auto metal scrap: Melting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
  • Tailored pickup schedules: Daily for construction; weekly for warehouses.

Commercial & Office Waste Solutions

Retail has packaging volume; offices focus on data security. Cardboard compactors and secure shredders are deployed.

Program Retail Clients Office Sector
Pickup Frequency Bi-weekly pickups Monthly
Main Materials Plastic film, boxes Paper and e-waste
Key Features Baling machines IMDA-grade data destruction

Fortune 500 regional HQs rely on our audit-ready tracking. Even F&B businesses cut costs by 25% with optimized waste schedules.

Why Sustainability Matters in Recycling

Limited landfill capacity makes sustainable practices vital in Singapore. Semakau may be full by 2035, improper disposal risks ecological damage and higher costs. Responsible recovery converts this challenge into opportunity.

Reducing Environmental Risks

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

Hazardous materials like lithium batteries pose fire risks if landfilled. Through certified processing, we neutralize these threats while recovering valuable metals.

Supporting a Circular Economy

Discarded electronics become urban furniture via upcycling. 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%.

  • Annual impact: 12,000 tons of CO2 cut via recovery programs.
  • Verified metrics: Third-party audited sustainability reports track progress.
  • 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.

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 arms handle hazardous items like lithium batteries

Data Security for E-Waste Disposal

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

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