End-to-End Waste Management

We deliver a complete system that includes:

• Waste Collection: Timetabled pickups to keep removal consistent.
• Advanced Sorting: Advanced separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
• Treatment: Responsible processing into reusable inputs.
• Documentation: Detailed reports for regulatory compliance.

Below is a comparison of standard vs tailored plans:

Aspect	Standard	Tailored Plan
Service Frequency	Weekly schedule	Flexible (from daily to monthly)
Materials	Core items (paper, plastic)	Specialized (e-waste, chemicals)
Reporting	Summary reports	Comprehensive, audit-ready analytics

Built for Commercial & Industrial Needs

Offices and factories have different needs. Industrial sites benefit from volume pricing; corporates value convenience. As examples:

• A food producer recycles 5 tons monthly and trims costs by 20%.
• A tech factory securely processes 500+ devices per quarter, meeting NEA rules.

Audit processes are simplified by real-time tracking. All steps are documented—from pickup weights to disposal methods.

Accepted Materials

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

Electronics Recycling Done Right

E-waste holds hazardous items such as 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 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. Common materials include:

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

Specialized Items: Batteries, Steel, and More

Complex items call for customized approaches:

• Lead-acid batteries with acid neutralization and lead recovery.
• Stainless steel sorted by grade for smelting.
• Devices with mercury: 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. We responsibly recover all materials, from office paper to industrial scrap. Our three-step approach maximizes efficiency and meets NEA standards.

Stage 1: Collect and Segregate

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

• Smart bin tech: Sensors alert crews when bins are full.
• Regulatory labels: Labeling aligned to Singapore guidelines.

Step 2: Safe Transportation and Handling

Hazardous items such as batteries go into triple-layer containers. Secure transit is ensured with real-time tracking. Drivers are trained in spill response protocols.

• e-Logs: Track waste weight and pickup times.
• Thermal control: Prevents chemical degradation during transit.

Step 3 — Recycling & Recovery

Plastics are sorted by infrared scanners as magnets capture metals. Our aluminum scrap recovery reaches 98%, 20% higher than average. Each step is fully documented for audits.

• Recovery reports: Show recovery rates by category.
• Closed-loop systems: Feed materials back into local manufacturing.

This end-to-end solution turns waste into resources without landfill reliance. Businesses gain transparency and compliance at every stage.

Benefits of Choosing Advance Recycling

Waste solutions can be sustainable and cost-smart. Working with us unlocks both financial and environmental benefits, while staying aligned to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Cost-Smart, Eco-Friendly Programs

We cut operational costs up to 30% via waste-to-energy. Example: 1 ton of plastic waste powers 50 HDB flats for a day.

Companies can gain carbon credits via 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, spanning the full chain from pickup to processing.

Our solutions include:

• Automated NEA inspection reporting.
• Hazardous material handling certified by SCAL.
• Real-time tracking that helps avoid penalties.

Cross-Industry Solutions

Waste management isn’t one-size-fits-all—each sector demands tailored strategies. Advance Recycling adapts systems for unique challenges, whether it’s high-volume factory scrap or confidential office paper disposal.

Manufacturing and Industrial Clients

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.

• Chip sector waste: Secure handling of silicon wafers and chemical byproducts.
• Automotive scrap: Melting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
• Tailored pickup schedules: Daily pickups for construction sites vs. weekly for warehouses.

Commercial & Office Waste Solutions

Retail deals with packaging surges; offices prioritize data security. Compactors tackle cardboard; shredders handle sensitive documents.

Service	Retail	Office Sector
Frequency	Two times per week	Monthly
Key Materials	Boxboard and plastic film	Paper, e-waste
Extras	Baling machines	IMDA-grade data destruction

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

Why Sustainability Matters in Recycling

With limited landfill space, sustainable practices are critical in Singapore. With Semakau Landfill projected to fill by 2035, improper disposal risks ecological damage and higher costs. Responsible recovery creates opportunity from challenge.

Cutting Environmental Risk

Each ton of recycled plastic prevents 2kg of marine debris. We divert over 3,000 tons per year—equal to 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.

Driving Circularity

Upcycling turns discarded electronics into urban furniture. Partner workshops turn circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs.

Tuas Nexus converts food waste to biogas, powering 200+ households each month. Circular loops lengthen material life and reduce virgin inputs by 40%.

• Yearly impact: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
• Verified metrics: Third-party audits verify sustainability progress.
• Community partnerships: Businesses and schools team up for cleanup efforts.

Technology that Powers Recycling

Recycling now uses smart systems to maximize efficiency and security. Facilities across Singapore integrate AI and blockchain for precise 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.

Our partnership with NTU enhances polymer recovery through enzymatic breakdown. This green chemistry approach extracts raw materials without toxic byproducts.

• Blockchain ensures traceability end-to-end
• Electromagnetic separation achieves 98% metal recovery
• Robotics handle hazardous items such as lithium batteries

Data Security for E-Waste Disposal

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

Audit trails include serialized destruction certificates. Devices go through:

1. Inspecting hardware for data components
2. Degauss magnetic media
3. Shredding to 2mm particles

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