Recycling & Waste Guide for Businesses in Singapore
Recycling can feel complicated – but with clear guidance, it doesn’t have to be.
At Gee Hoe Seng, we have compiled a practical reference to help Singapore businesses identify what materials can be recycled, how different waste streams should be segregated, and how to engage a licensed recycler for commercial and industrial waste collection.
The guide covers common recyclable and non-recyclable materials across paper and cardboard, metals, plastics, and e-waste. It is designed for facilities managers, operations teams, and sustainability coordinators in offices, warehouses, F&B operations, logistics companies, and industrial facilities across Singapore.
Each material entry explains whether it can be recycled, how it should be prepared or segregated, and what GHS can collect. Businesses can use this guide to improve waste segregation practices, reduce contamination across waste streams, and support NEA compliance and ESG reporting requirements.

Laminated paper generally cannot be recycled through standard paper recycling streams because the plastic coating contaminates the paper pulp. GHS recommends disposing of laminated paper as general waste unless your recycler specifically accepts it.
Singapore businesses can recycle paper and cardboard, metals including aluminium and copper, plastics, e-waste and electronic equipment, and various industrial materials. GHS collects and recycles all of these for commercial and industrial clients.
