Supporting Small-Volume Recycling Efforts for a Local Healthcare Company

Customised recycling solutions that helped a healthcare client achieve proper recycling despite small waste volumes.

Overview
A local healthcare company had already implemented in-house waste sorting for recyclables such as plastics, packaging, and paper. However, the small waste volumes generated made it difficult to secure consistent recycling collection. Without the right partner, properly sorted recyclables risked being disposed of as general waste.

Challenge
Most recycling vendors in Singapore focus on bulk collection, leaving small-volume waste generators with limited options. This created a gap for businesses committed to sustainability but unable to achieve proper recycling due to logistical and volume constraints.

Our Approach
Gee Hoe Seng Pte Ltd (GHS) introduced a customised recycling and collection program designed specifically for small waste generators in the healthcare sector. By offering a fee-based collection service, GHS ensured that all sorted recyclables were collected, transported, and processed responsibly through licensed recycling channels. This approach provided both traceability and compliance with NEA waste management requirements.

Results
The partnership allowed the healthcare company to:
Maintain their in-house recycling initiative effectively
Divert recyclable materials from incineration
Streamline waste handling without additional manpower or disruption

Impact
Through GHS’s solution, the client transformed a small-scale internal effort into a measurable sustainability outcome — achieving genuine recycling, reducing environmental impact, and setting a strong example for other SMEs within the healthcare sector.
