Our Core Values: Integrity, accountability, and eco-friendly practices.
Our Goals: Cut landfill dependency and increase recovery rates.

Defining a Full Recycling Service

Companies in Singapore are under growing pressure to manage waste well. 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:

Pickup: Scheduled pickups for consistent waste removal.
Advanced Sorting: Sophisticated separation for plastics, metals, and e-waste.
Treatment: Safe conversion into reusable raw materials.
Documentation: Audit-ready reports for compliance.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Category	Baseline Plan	Tailored Plan
Service Frequency	Once per week	Flexible (from daily to monthly)
Accepted Materials	Basic (paper, plastic)	Advanced streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Analytics	Basic summaries	Audit-ready analytics

Tailored for Commercial and Industrial Needs

Manufacturing plants and offices have distinct needs. Factories benefit from volume-based pricing, while corporate clients prioritize convenience. As examples:

One food manufacturer recycles 5 tons of packaging each month, reducing 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.

Materials We Recycle

Old smartphones to factory scrap—many materials deserve a second life. We manage diverse streams to ensure safe, efficient recovery. Our processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

Responsible E-Waste Disposal

Electronics often include hazardous items like mercury and lead. We handle safely:

CRT displays and lithium-ion batteries (leak tests applied).
Devices with data (certified NEA-standard destruction).
Nickel-cadmium batteries with circuit boards (hand dismantled).

Specialized equipment extracts reusable metals while neutralizing toxins.

Turning Plastic and Metal Scrap into Reusable Goods

We use infrared scanners to identify plastic types like PET, HDPE, and LDPE. Metal recovery achieves 98% purity through electromagnetic separation. Frequent materials are:

Manufacturing-derived ABS plastic.
Aluminum and steel alloys (melted for industrial reuse).

Complex Items: Batteries, Steel, Etc.

Complex items need tailored solutions:

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

A structured process is the start of efficient waste handling. We responsibly recover all materials, from office paper to industrial scrap. Our three-step system maximizes efficiency while meeting Singapore’s NEA standards.

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.

Sensor bins: Sensors alert crews when bins are full.
NEA compliance: Labels match Singapore’s waste guidelines.

Step 2 — Transport & Handling

We pack hazardous materials, including batteries, in triple-layer containers. Real-time tracking maintains secure facility transit. Drivers receive spill-response training.

e-Logs: Record weights and pickup times.
Temperature control: Stops chemical degradation during transport.

Step 3 — Recycling & Recovery

Infrared scanners sort plastics by type, while magnets extract metals. We recover 98% of aluminum scrap—20% above industry averages. Each step is fully 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.

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, with full adherence to Singapore’s strict rules.

Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly Solutions

Waste-to-energy initiatives reduce operational costs by as much as 30%. For instance, 1 ton of plastic can power 50 HDB flats for one day.

Certified e-waste disposal can earn businesses carbon credits. This turns compliance into a revenue stream, eligible within Singapore’s carbon trading mechanisms.

Compliance with Singapore’s Environmental Regulations

We streamline compliance with the Resource Sustainability Act. Digital trails offer round-the-clock access to compliance records, from pickup to final processing.

We provide the following solutions:

Automated reporting for NEA inspections.
Hazardous material handling certified by SCAL.
Live tracking to reduce regulatory risk.

Cross-Industry Solutions

There’s no one-size-fits-all in waste management; each sector needs tailored strategies. We tailor systems to manage sector-specific challenges, whether it’s high-volume factory scrap or confidential office paper disposal.

Manufacturing and Industrial Clients

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

Semiconductor waste: Secure management of wafers and chemical byproducts.
Vehicle scrap: Melt, reform, and reuse steel alloys.
Tailored pickup schedules: Construction sites daily; warehouses weekly.

Retail and Office Waste Management

Retailers face packaging overload, while offices prioritize data security. We deploy compactors for cardboard and shredders for sensitive documents.

Service	Retail Clients	Office
Pickup Frequency	Bi-weekly pickups	Once per month
Primary Materials	Boxboard and plastic film	Paper and e-waste
Extras	Balers for packaging	IMDA-grade data destruction

Fortune 500 regional HQs rely on our audit-ready tracking. Food & beverage clients cut 25% using optimized schedules.

Sustainability’s Role in Recycling

Limited landfill capacity makes sustainable practices vital 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. Annually, 3,000+ tons diverted—about 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.

Driving Circularity

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%.

Impact per year: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
Validated metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
Local partnerships: Businesses and schools team up for cleanup efforts.

Advanced Technology in Recycling

Today’s recycling relies on smart systems for efficiency and security. AI and blockchain are integrated in Singapore facilities for high-precision recovery.

Cutting-Edge Sorting and Processing

AI-powered optical scanners achieve 99.5% material purity—far surpassing manual sorting. They identify plastic types in milliseconds with 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
Electromagnetic separation achieves 98% metal recovery
Robotic arms handle hazardous items like lithium batteries

Data Security in E-Waste

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.

We provide serialized destruction certificates for audit trails. Devices go through:

Physical inspection of data-storage components
Degaussing of magnetic media
Shredding to 2mm particles

Our R&D continually tests new techniques against encryption. This ensures compliance as storage technology evolves.
