RECYCLING & RECOVERY

The simple act of recycling has significant impact

– conserving limited natural resources and protecting our environment

“Approximately 50 million metric tonnes of e-waste are produced worldwide every year, but only 20% of this e-waste is recycled.”

Recycling Conserves Natural Resources

The world's natural resources are limited, and some are in
very short supply.

Recycling Protects Ecosystems and Wildlife

Lesser need to grow, harvest or extract new raw materials from natural resources in our ecosystem. Recycling also keeps waste out of the environment.

Recycling Saves
Energy

Making products from recycled materials requires less energy than making them from new raw materials.

climate-change

Recycling Cuts Climate-Changing Carbon Emissions

Uses less energy on sourcing and processing new raw materials, hence lower carbon emissions is produced and it also keeps potentially methane-releasing waste out of landfill sites.

Recycling Reduces
Incineration

Incineration results in permanent loss of valuable resources that could otherwise be reused or recycled. It also generates carbon emissions as well as potential air pollution.

Recycling allows for materials such as gold, silver, copper and plastics to be recovered and made into new products.

E-waste, such as mobile phones, is a true treasure trove of materials, which contains precious and rare-earth metals such as gold, silver, palladium, platinum, copper and cobalt.

At SMC, we undertake our best endeavours to extract and recover as much valuable raw materials from electrical and electronic waste with the use of innovative technologies and our certified recycling facilities.

Creating more value from waste, we continue to research and develop new and even better-quality uses for waste materials with our upcycling initiatives.

PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY IN
LITHIUM BATTERY RECYCLING

Through our R&D efforts and initiatives in recent years, SMC has developed proprietary technology to recycle lithium-ion batteries, recovering metals such as cobalt, copper and lithium. In December 2017, SMC secured the first lithium battery recycling licence from Singapore’s National Environment Agency (“NEA”).

SMELTING FACILITY IN SINGAPORE

To expand the Group’s capabilities in e-waste management and recycling, the Group has built a new modern, highly-advanced smelting facility in Singapore to extract and recover metals and materials from waste materials and metal scraps.
This smelter is expected to have an aggregate maximum processing capacity of 1,000 tons per month
with the capability of processing waste battery powders.
