Tailored for Commercial and Industrial Needs

Commercial offices and manufacturing sites each have unique needs. Industrial sites benefit from volume pricing; corporates value convenience. As examples:

  • One food manufacturer recycles 5 tons of packaging each month, reducing costs by 20%.
  • An electronics factory securely processes 500+ devices quarterly, meeting NEA standards.

Compliance features like real-time tracking simplify audits. From pickup weights to final disposal, everything is documented.

What 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 process responsibly:

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

Specialized equipment extracts reusable metals while neutralizing toxins.

Plastics and Metals: From Scrap to Reusable Products

Infrared scanners let our systems identify plastic types (PET, HDPE, LDPE). Metal recovery reaches 98% purity using electromagnetic separation. Common materials include:

  • ABS plastic generated by manufacturing.
  • Aluminum and steel alloys (smelted for industrial reuse).

Specialized Items: Batteries, Steel, and More

Complex items call for customized approaches:

  • Lead-acid batteries: Acid neutralization and lead recovery.
  • Stainless steel: Sorted by grade for smelting.
  • Mercury devices processed via sealed vacuum extraction.

Each material follows a documented chain of custody for compliance.

How Our Full Service Works

Efficiency begins with a structured process. From office paper to industrial scrap, we ensure responsible recovery. Our three-step system maximizes efficiency while meeting Singapore’s NEA standards.

Step 1: Waste Collection and Segregation

We optimize routes with GPS-tracked vehicles and weight sensors. Color-coded bins help teams separate plastics, metals, and hazardous items. It lowers contamination and hastens disposal.

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

Step 2: Safe Transportation and Handling

We pack hazardous materials, including batteries, in triple-layer containers. Secure transit is ensured with real-time tracking. Drivers receive spill-response training.

  • Digital logs: Record weights and pickup times.
  • Thermal control: Stops chemical degradation during transport.

Step 3 — Recycling & Recovery

Infrared scanners sort plastics by type, while magnets extract metals. Aluminum scrap recovery hits 98%—20% above the industry average. All steps are documented for auditability.

  • Recovery reports: Detail category recovery rates.
  • Closed loops: Reuse materials in local manufacturing.

End-to-end, this solution transforms waste into resources while avoiding landfills. Companies benefit from transparency and compliance throughout.

Benefits of Choosing 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-Effective and Eco-Friendly Solutions

Waste-to-energy initiatives reduce operational costs by as much as 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. Compliance becomes a revenue opportunity, including eligibility under Singapore’s carbon trading schemes.

Compliance with Singapore’s Environmental Regulations

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

Included in our solutions:

  • Automatic reports tailored for NEA inspections.
  • SCAL-certified HAZMAT handling protocols.
  • Real-time tracking to prevent regulatory penalties.

Cross-Industry Solutions

There’s no one-size-fits-all in waste management; each sector needs tailored strategies. At Advance Recycling, we adapt our systems to handle unique challenges, from high-volume factory scrap to confidential office paper disposal.

Manufacturing and Industrial Clients

Factories need robust solutions for heavy waste streams. Our closed-loop systems recover 95% of automotive metal scrap, while semiconductor clients benefit from hazardous material containment.

  • Semiconductor waste: Handled securely: wafers and chemical byproducts.
  • Auto metal scrap: Melt, reform, and reuse steel alloys.
  • Tailored pickup schedules: Daily pickups for construction sites vs. weekly for warehouses.

Commercial & Office Waste Solutions

Retail has packaging volume; offices focus on data security. Compactors tackle cardboard; shredders handle sensitive documents.

Key Features Baling machines IMDA-grade data destruction

Regional HQs of Fortune 500 firms rely on audit-ready tracking. F&B sites trim costs 25% via optimized schedules.

Why Sustainability Matters in Recycling

Limited landfill capacity makes sustainable practices vital in Singapore. Semakau may be full by 2035, improper disposal risks ecological damage and higher costs. Responsible recovery turns this challenge into opportunity.

Reducing Environmental Risks

Recycling one ton of plastic averts 2kg of marine debris. Our programs divert 3,000+ tons annually—equivalent to clearing 25 football fields of ocean waste.

Hazardous materials like lithium batteries pose fire risks if landfilled. Certified processing neutralizes these threats as we recover valuable metals.

Driving Circularity

Discarded electronics become urban furniture via upcycling. Partner workshops turn circuit boards into benches at 15 HDB hubs.

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%.

  • Impact per year: 12,000 tons CO2 reduced through recovery programs.
  • Audited metrics: Progress tracked by third-party audited reports.
  • Community 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.

Innovative Sorting and Processing Techniques

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 approach extracts raw materials minus toxic byproducts.

  • Blockchain ensures traceability end-to-end
  • 98% metal recovery via electromagnetic separators
  • Robotic arms handle hazardous items like 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.

Serialized destruction certificates are provided for audit trails. Each device undergoes:

  1. Physical inspection of data-storage 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.
