Materials Basic streams (paper, plastic) Specialized (e-waste, chemicals)
Analytics Basic summaries Comprehensive, 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.

Real-time tracking features make audits simple. All steps are documented—from pickup weights to disposal methods.

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 processes meet Singapore’s strict environmental standards.

E-Waste: Responsible Electronics Disposal

Discarded electronics contain hazardous items like mercury and lead. We handle safely:

  • CRT monitors and Li-ion batteries (leak-tested).
  • Devices with data (certified NEA-standard destruction).
  • Nickel-cadmium batteries and circuit boards (dismantled manually).

Special equipment extracts reusable metals and neutralizes toxins.

Plastics and Metals: From Scrap to Reusable Products

Our sorting systems identify plastic types (PET, HDPE, LDPE) using infrared scanners. Metal recovery reaches 98% purity using electromagnetic separation. Typical materials include:

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

Special Items — Batteries, Steel & More

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.

Process Overview — Full Recycling Service

Efficiency begins with a structured process. We ensure every material—from office paper to industrial scrap—is recovered responsibly. Our three-step approach maximizes efficiency and meets NEA standards.

Step 1: Waste Collection and Segregation

GPS-tracked vehicles with weight sensors optimize pickup routes. Teams use color-coded bins to separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. This reduces contamination and speeds up disposal.

  • Smart bins: Bin sensors trigger alerts when full.
  • Compliance labels: Labels match Singapore’s waste 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 are trained in spill response protocols.

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

Step 3 — Recycling & Recovery

Plastics are sorted by infrared scanners as magnets capture 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.
  • Circular loops: Reuse materials in local manufacturing.

This end-to-end solution turns waste into resources without landfill reliance. At each stage, businesses gain transparency and compliance.

Why Choose Advance Recycling

Sustainable waste solutions shouldn’t break the bank—or the planet. Working with us unlocks both financial and environmental benefits, with full adherence to Singapore’s strict rules.

Cost-Smart, Eco-Friendly Programs

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.

Businesses also gain carbon credits through certified e-waste disposal. Compliance becomes a revenue opportunity, eligible within Singapore’s carbon trading mechanisms.

Regulatory Compliance Made Simple

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

Our solutions include:

  • Automatic reports tailored for NEA inspections.
  • SCAL-certified hazardous material handling.
  • Live tracking to reduce regulatory risk.

Serving Businesses Across Industries

Every sector needs tailored waste strategies; one size doesn’t fit all. Advance Recycling adapts systems for unique challenges, covering high-volume scrap and secure office paper disposal alike.

Manufacturing and Industrial Clients

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: Handled securely: wafers and chemical byproducts.
  • Vehicle scrap: Melting and reforming steel alloys for reuse.
  • Customized 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 Sector Office
Frequency Twice weekly Monthly schedule
Key Materials Plastic film, boxes Office paper, e-waste
Key Features On-site balers 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.

Why Sustainability Matters in Recycling

Limited landfill capacity makes sustainable practices vital in Singapore. Semakau Landfill is projected to reach capacity by 2035, poor disposal choices raise environmental 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.

Hazardous materials like lithium batteries pose fire risks if landfilled. We use certified processing to neutralize risks and recover valuable metals.

Enabling the Circular Economy

Upcycling transforms discarded electronics into urban furniture. Partner workshops repurpose circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs across Singapore.

Via Tuas Nexus, food waste is converted to biogas powering 200+ households monthly. Closed loops extend material use and cut virgin inputs by 40%.

  • Annual impact: 12,000 tons of CO2 cut via recovery programs.
  • Audited metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
  • Local partnerships: Schools plus businesses join cleanup initiatives.

Advanced Technology in Recycling

Today’s recycling relies on smart systems for efficiency and security. Singapore’s facilities now integrate artificial intelligence and blockchain for unprecedented precision in waste recovery.

Cutting-Edge Sorting and Processing

AI-powered optical scanners achieve 99.5% material purity—far surpassing manual sorting. Using hyperspectral imaging, plastics are identified in milliseconds.

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

  • Blockchain ensures traceability end-to-end
  • Electromagnetic separation achieves 98% metal recovery
  • Robotic arms handle hazardous items like lithium batteries

Data Security in E-Waste

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. Devices go through:

  1. Physical inspection of data-storage components
  2. Magnetic media degaussing
  3. Final shredding to 2mm particles

R&D teams test evolving methods to address encryption. That ensures compliance as storage tech evolves.
