What Is a Full Recycling Service?

Businesses in Singapore face mounting pressure to manage waste efficiently. 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.

All-Inclusive Waste Solutions

We deliver a complete system that includes:

  • Collection: Regular pickups to ensure consistent removal.
  • Sorting: Advanced separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
  • Processing: Secure conversion into reusable feedstocks.
  • Compliance Docs: Thorough reports to meet regulations.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Category Standard Plan Tailored Plan
Pickup Frequency Weekly schedule Flexible (daily/monthly)
Materials Basic streams (paper, plastic) Specialized (e-waste, chemicals)
Analytics Summary reports Audit-ready analytics

Built for Commercial & Industrial Needs

Manufacturing plants and offices have distinct needs. Industrial sites benefit from volume pricing; corporates value 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.

Compliance features like real-time tracking simplify audits. All steps are documented—from pickup weights to disposal methods.

Accepted Materials

Old smartphones to factory scrap—many materials deserve a second life. We handle diverse waste streams, ensuring safe and efficient recovery. All processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

E-Waste: Responsible Electronics Disposal

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

  • CRT displays and lithium-ion batteries (leak tests applied).
  • Data-bearing devices (certified destruction to NEA standards).
  • Nickel-cadmium batteries with circuit boards (hand dismantled).

Special equipment extracts reusable metals and neutralizes toxins.

Plastics and Metals: From Scrap to Reusable Products

We use infrared scanners to identify plastic types like PET, HDPE, and LDPE. Metal recovery hits 98% purity via electromagnetic separation. Common materials include:

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

Specialized Items: Batteries, Steel, and More

Complex items call for customized approaches:

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

All materials follow a documented chain of custody to remain compliant.

Our Full Recycling Service Process

A structured process is the start of efficient waste handling. We responsibly recover all materials, from office paper to industrial scrap. 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. That cuts contamination and accelerates disposal.

  • Smart bin tech: Sensors notify crews at fill-level.
  • Compliance labels: Labeling aligned to Singapore guidelines.

Stage 2: Safe Transport 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.

  • e-Logs: Capture weights and collection times.
  • Temp control: Prevents degradation in 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. Every step is documented for audits.

  • Recovery reports: Show recovery rates by category.
  • Circular loops: Reuse materials in local manufacturing.

This comprehensive solution turns waste into resources and reduces landfill dependence. At each stage, businesses gain transparency and compliance.

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

Waste solutions can be sustainable and cost-smart. Partnering with us unlocks financial and environmental advantages, with full adherence to Singapore’s strict rules.

Green Solutions with Strong ROI

We cut operational costs up to 30% via waste-to-energy. 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.

Compliance with Singapore’s Environmental Regulations

We streamline compliance with the Resource Sustainability Act. 24/7 digital audit trails provide compliance records, from pickup to final processing.

Included in our solutions:

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

Serving Businesses Across Industries

Waste management isn’t one-size-fits-all—each sector demands 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.

Industrial & Manufacturing

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

  • Semiconductor streams: Secure management of wafers and chemical byproducts.
  • Automotive scrap: Melting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
  • Customized schedules: Construction sites daily; warehouses weekly.

Retail and Office Waste Management

Retailers face packaging overload, while offices prioritize data security. Cardboard compactors and secure shredders are deployed.

Service Retail Clients Office Sector
Frequency Two times per week Once per month
Main Materials Plastic film, boxes Paper, e-waste
Extras Baling machines Certified secure shredding

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

The Importance of Sustainability in Recycling

Limited landfill capacity makes sustainable practices vital in Singapore. Semakau Landfill is projected to reach capacity by 2035, improper disposal increases ecological risk and 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.

Enabling the Circular Economy

Upcycling transforms discarded electronics into urban furniture. Across 15 HDB hubs, partners repurpose circuit boards into benches.

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: CO2 reduced by 12,000 tons through recovery.
  • Verified metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
  • Community programs: Schools and businesses join clean-up 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.

Innovative Sorting and Processing Techniques

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

With NTU, we enhance polymer recovery using enzymatic methods. This approach extracts raw materials minus toxic byproducts.

  • Blockchain tracks materials from collection to resale markets
  • Electromagnetic separators recover metals with 98% efficiency
  • Robotics handle hazardous items such as lithium batteries

Data Security for E-Waste Disposal

Corporate IT assets undergo IMDA-certified military-grade wiping. Our three-pass overwrite process meets Singapore’s strict cybersecurity standards for sensitive information.

We provide serialized destruction certificates for audit trails. Each device undergoes:

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

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