What Is a Full Recycling Service?
Singapore businesses face increasing pressure to manage waste efficiently. A end-to-end recycling service streamlines this process, from pickup to end processing. It returns materials to production and reduces dependence on landfills.
End-to-End Waste Management
We deliver a complete system that includes:
- Waste Collection: Scheduled pickups for consistent waste removal.
- Advanced Sorting: Advanced separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
- Treatment: Secure conversion into reusable feedstocks.
- Compliance Docs: Detailed reports for regulatory compliance.
Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:
Category | Standard Plan | Custom Plan |
---|---|---|
Frequency | Once per week | Flexible (from daily to monthly) |
Materials | Basic streams (paper, plastic) | Specialized (e-waste, chemicals) |
Analytics | Basic summaries | Audit-ready analytics |
Tailored for Commercial and Industrial Needs
Offices and factories have different needs. Factories gain from volume pricing; corporate clients prioritize convenience. For example:
- A food manufacturer recycles 5 tons of packaging monthly, cutting costs by 20%.
- A tech factory securely processes 500+ devices per quarter, meeting NEA rules.
Real-time tracking features make audits simple. From pickup weights to final disposal, everything is documented.
Materials We Recycle
From old smartphones to factory scrap, many materials can get a second life. We process varied streams for safe and efficient recovery. Our methods comply with Singapore’s stringent environmental standards.
Electronics Recycling Done Right
Electronics often include hazardous items like mercury and lead. We process responsibly:
- CRT monitors and Li-ion batteries (leak-tested).
- Data-bearing devices (certified destruction to NEA standards).
- Nickel-cadmium batteries and circuit boards (dismantled manually).
Special equipment extracts reusable metals and neutralizes toxins.
Plastics & Metals — From Scrap to Reuse
Infrared scanners let our systems identify plastic types (PET, HDPE, LDPE). Metal recovery achieves 98% purity through electromagnetic separation. Frequent materials are:
- ABS plastic generated by manufacturing.
- Aluminum plus steel alloys (melted for reuse).
Complex Items: Batteries, Steel, Etc.
Tailored solutions are required for complex items:
- Lead-acid batteries with acid neutralization and lead recovery.
- Graded stainless steel for smelting.
- Devices with mercury: sealed vacuum extraction.
Each material follows a documented chain of custody for compliance.
How Our Full Service Works
Efficient waste handling starts with a structured process. We responsibly recover all materials, from office paper to industrial scrap. 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 deploy color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. This reduces contamination and speeds up disposal.
- Smart bin tech: Bin sensors trigger alerts when full.
- NEA compliance: Labels match Singapore’s 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: Record weights and pickup times.
- Temp control: Stops chemical degradation during transport.
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.
- Recovery reports: Display recovery rates by material category.
- Circular loops: Reuse materials in local manufacturing.
End-to-end, this solution transforms waste into resources while avoiding landfills. At each stage, businesses gain transparency and compliance.
Advantages of Partnering with Advance Recycling
Sustainable waste solutions shouldn’t break the bank—or the planet. Partnering with us unlocks financial and environmental advantages, while staying aligned to Singapore’s strict regulations.
Cost-Smart, Eco-Friendly Programs
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.
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 make Resource Sustainability Act compliance simple. Digital trails offer round-the-clock access to compliance records, from pickup to final processing.
Our solutions include:
- Automated NEA inspection reporting.
- Hazardous material handling certified by SCAL.
- Live tracking to reduce regulatory risk.
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.
Industrial & Manufacturing
Industrial sites require robust solutions for heavy streams. Closed-loop systems recover up to 95% of automotive metal scrap, and semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous containment.
- Semiconductor streams: Handled securely: wafers and chemical byproducts.
- Vehicle scrap: Melt, reform, and reuse steel alloys.
- Tailored pickup schedules: Daily for construction; weekly for warehouses.
Commercial & Office Waste Solutions
Retail deals with packaging surges; offices prioritize data security. Cardboard compactors and secure shredders are deployed.
Service | Retail Clients | Office Sector |
---|---|---|
Frequency | Bi-weekly pickups | Monthly |
Key Materials | Plastic film, boxes | Paper, e-waste |
Extras | 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.
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 converts this challenge into opportunity.
Reducing Environmental Risks
Recycling one ton of plastic averts 2kg of marine debris. Annually, 3,000+ tons diverted—about 25 football fields of ocean waste.
Lithium batteries in landfills present fire hazards. Through certified processing, we neutralize these threats while recovering valuable metals.
Driving Circularity
Discarded electronics become urban furniture via upcycling. Partner workshops repurpose circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs across Singapore.
Tuas Nexus converts food waste to biogas, powering 200+ households each month. Closed-loop systems keep materials in use longer, cutting virgin resource needs by 40%.
- Yearly impact: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
- Audited metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
- Local partnerships: Schools and businesses join clean-up initiatives.
Tech-Enabled Recycling
Recycling now uses smart systems to maximize efficiency and security. Facilities across Singapore integrate AI and blockchain for precise recovery.
Cutting-Edge Sorting and Processing
AI-driven scanners hit 99.5% purity, outpacing manual methods. Using hyperspectral imaging, plastics are identified in milliseconds.
Partnering with NTU improves polymer recovery via enzymatic breakdown. This green chemistry approach extracts raw materials without toxic byproducts.
- Blockchain ensures traceability end-to-end
- Electromagnetic separation achieves 98% metal recovery
- Robotic systems manage hazardous items including lithium batteries
Securing Data During E-Waste Processing
IMDA-certified, military-grade wiping is required for corporate IT assets. We use a three-pass overwrite that meets strict cybersecurity standards in Singapore.
We provide serialized destruction certificates for audit trails. Each device undergoes:
- Physical inspection of data-storage components
- Degaussing of magnetic media
- Final shredding to 2mm particles
R&D teams continuously test new encryption-breaking techniques. That ensures compliance as storage tech evolves.
