| Documentation | Basic summaries | Comprehensive, audit-ready analytics |
Customized for Business and Industry
Offices and factories have different needs. Factories benefit from volume-based pricing, while corporate clients prioritize convenience. For example:
- 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.
Audit processes are simplified by real-time tracking. All steps are documented—from pickup weights to disposal methods.
Accepted Materials
A wide range of materials, from phones to factory scrap, can be reborn. We manage diverse streams to ensure safe, efficient recovery. All processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.
E-Waste: Responsible Electronics Disposal
Electronics often include hazardous items like mercury and lead. We process responsibly:
- CRT displays and lithium-ion batteries (leak tests applied).
- Devices with data (certified NEA-standard destruction).
- Ni-Cd batteries plus circuit boards (manual dismantling).
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).
Special Items — Batteries, Steel & More
Complex items need tailored solutions:
- Lead-acid batteries processed with neutralization and lead recovery.
- Stainless steel sorted by grade for smelting.
- Mercury-containing devices: Sealed vacuum extraction.
Each material follows a documented chain of custody for compliance.
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. Using three steps, we maximize efficiency and meet NEA requirements.
Step 1: Waste Collection and Segregation
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.
- Sensor bins: Sensors notify crews at fill-level.
- NEA compliance: Labels match Singapore’s waste guidelines.
Step 2: Safe Transportation and Handling
Hazardous materials like batteries are packed in triple-layer containers. Secure transit is ensured with real-time tracking. All drivers are trained on spill response.
- e-Logs: Record weights and pickup times.
- Temperature 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.
- Category reports: Display recovery rates by material category.
- Closed 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.
Why Choose Advance Recycling
Waste solutions can be sustainable and cost-smart. Working with us unlocks both financial and environmental benefits, with full adherence to Singapore’s strict rules.
Green Solutions with Strong ROI
Our waste-to-energy programs cut operational costs by up to 30%. For example, converting 1 ton of plastic waste generates enough energy to power 50 HDB flats for a day.
Businesses also gain carbon credits through certified e-waste disposal. This turns compliance into a revenue stream, eligible within Singapore’s carbon trading mechanisms.
Regulatory Compliance Made Simple
We simplify the Resource Sustainability Act requirements. Digital trails offer round-the-clock access to compliance records, from pickup to final processing.
Our solutions include:
- Automated reporting for NEA inspections.
- SCAL-certified hazardous material handling.
- Real-time tracking to prevent regulatory penalties.
Serving Businesses Across Industries
Every sector needs tailored waste strategies; one size doesn’t fit all. Advance Recycling adapts systems for unique challenges, whether it’s high-volume factory scrap or confidential office paper disposal.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Industrial sites require robust solutions for heavy streams. Closed-loop systems recover up to 95% of automotive metal scrap, while semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous material containment.
- Semiconductor streams: Secure handling of silicon wafers and chemical byproducts.
- Automotive scrap: Smelting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
- Tailored pickup schedules: Daily for construction; weekly for warehouses.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Pickup Frequency | Twice weekly | Monthly schedule |
| Key Materials | Plastic film, boxes | Paper and e-waste |
| Extras | Baling machines | IMDA-grade data destruction |
Fortune 500 headquarters use 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. With Semakau Landfill projected to fill by 2035, improper disposal increases ecological risk and costs. Responsible recovery converts this challenge into opportunity.
Lowering Ecological Risks
Every ton of plastic recycled prevents 2kg of marine debris. Annually, 3,000+ tons diverted—about 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 turns discarded electronics into urban furniture. Across 15 HDB hubs, partners repurpose circuit boards into benches.
With Tuas Nexus, we convert food waste into biogas—powering 200+ households monthly. Closed loops extend material use and cut virgin inputs by 40%.
- Impact per year: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
- Verified metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
- Community programs: Schools and businesses join clean-up initiatives.
Tech-Enabled Recycling
Today’s recycling relies on smart systems for efficiency and security. Facilities across Singapore integrate AI and blockchain for precise 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.
Our partnership with NTU enhances polymer recovery through enzymatic breakdown. Green chemistry lets us extract raw materials without toxic byproducts.
- Blockchain tracks materials from collection to resale markets
- Electromagnetic separation achieves 98% metal recovery
- 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. Our three-pass overwrite process meets Singapore’s strict cybersecurity standards for sensitive information.
Serialized destruction certificates are provided for audit trails. Every device undergoes:
- Physical inspection of data-storage components
- Degaussing of magnetic media
- Shredding to 2mm particles
R&D teams continuously test new encryption-breaking techniques. That ensures compliance as storage tech evolves.
