Our Mission and Values

We commit to transparency and innovation. In partnership with the Sustainable Singapore Blueprint, we convert waste streams into value while safeguarding the environment.

  • Values: Integrity, accountability, and green practices.
  • Our Goals: Cut landfill dependency and increase recovery rates.

Defining a Full Recycling Service

Singapore businesses face increasing pressure to manage waste efficiently. A end-to-end recycling service simplifies the 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: Advanced separation of plastics, metals, and e-waste.
  • Processing: Safe conversion into reusable raw materials.
  • Reporting: Audit-ready reports for compliance.

Here’s how standard and tailored plans differ:

Category Standard Plan Customized Plan
Service Frequency Weekly Flexible (from daily to monthly)
Accepted Materials Basic streams (paper, plastic) Special streams (e-waste, chemicals)
Documentation Summary reports Audit-ready analytics

Customized for Business and Industry

Offices and factories have different needs. Factories gain from volume pricing; corporate clients prioritize convenience. As examples:

  • One food manufacturer recycles 5 tons of packaging each month, reducing costs by 20%.
  • A tech factory securely processes 500+ devices per quarter, meeting NEA rules.

Audit processes are simplified by real-time tracking. Every step is documented, from pickup weights to final disposal methods.

Accepted Materials

Old smartphones to factory scrap—many materials deserve 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

E-waste holds hazardous items such as mercury and lead. We safely process:

  • CRT monitors and lithium-ion batteries (tested for leaks).
  • Data devices (NEA-certified destruction).
  • Nickel-cadmium batteries with circuit boards (hand dismantled).

Special equipment extracts reusable metals and neutralizes toxins.

Turning Plastic and Metal Scrap into Reusable Goods

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

  • ABS plastic generated by manufacturing.
  • Aluminum and steel alloys (melted 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.
  • Devices with mercury: sealed vacuum extraction.

A documented chain of custody ensures compliance for each material.

Process Overview — Full Recycling Service

A structured process is the start of efficient waste handling. From office paper to industrial scrap, we ensure responsible recovery. 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. It lowers contamination and hastens disposal.

  • Smart bin tech: 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 are trained in spill response protocols.

  • e-Logs: Track waste weight and pickup times.
  • Temp control: Prevents degradation in transit.

Step 3: Advanced Recycling and 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: 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. Working with us unlocks both financial and environmental benefits, all while adhering to Singapore’s strict regulations.

Green Solutions with Strong ROI

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

Businesses also gain carbon credits through certified e-waste disposal. That converts compliance into revenue, eligible within Singapore’s carbon trading mechanisms.

Regulatory Compliance Made Simple

We streamline compliance with the Resource Sustainability Act. Digital audit trails provide 24/7 access to compliance records, covering pickup through final processing.

Included in our solutions:

  • Automated reporting for NEA inspections.
  • SCAL-certified HAZMAT handling protocols.
  • Real-time tracking to prevent regulatory penalties.

Cross-Industry Solutions

Waste management isn’t one-size-fits-all—each sector demands tailored strategies. We tailor systems to manage sector-specific challenges, from high-volume factory scrap to confidential office paper disposal.

Solutions for Industry

Industrial sites require robust solutions for heavy streams. We recover 95% of automotive metal scrap via closed loops, and semiconductor partners gain secure hazardous containment.

  • Semiconductor streams: Secure handling of silicon wafers and chemical byproducts.
  • Vehicle scrap: Melt, reform, and reuse steel alloys.
  • Customized schedules: Daily for construction; weekly for warehouses.

Retail and Office Waste Management

Retailers face packaging overload, while offices prioritize data security. Compactors tackle cardboard; shredders handle sensitive documents.

Service Retail Office Clients
Frequency Two times per week Monthly schedule
Key Materials Plastic film, boxes Paper, e-waste
Extras Balers for packaging Certified secure shredding

Fortune 500 regional HQs rely on our audit-ready tracking. F&B sites trim costs 25% via 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 increases ecological risk and costs. Responsible recovery creates opportunity from challenge.

Reducing Environmental Risks

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

Lithium batteries in landfills present fire hazards. We use certified processing to neutralize risks and recover valuable metals.

Supporting a Circular Economy

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

With Tuas Nexus, we convert food waste into biogas—powering 200+ households monthly. Closed-loop systems keep materials in use longer, cutting virgin resource needs by 40%.

  • Annual impact: CO2 reduced by 12,000 tons through recovery.
  • Audited 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. Singapore’s facilities now integrate artificial intelligence and blockchain for unprecedented precision in waste recovery.

Next-Gen Sorting & Processing

AI optical scanners deliver 99.5% purity—well above manual sorting. Using hyperspectral imaging, plastics are identified in milliseconds.

Our partnership with NTU enhances polymer recovery through enzymatic breakdown. Green chemistry lets us extract 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 in E-Waste

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. Physical inspection for data storage components
  2. Magnetic media degaussing
  3. Shredding to 2mm particles

R&D teams test evolving methods to address encryption. Ensuring compliance as storage technology advances.
