NEA appoints ALBA as PRS operator
The appointment of the PRS Operator, ALBA E-Waste Smart Recycling Pte Ltd, the local ALBA entity, is an integral part of Singapore’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme for E-Waste management. ALBA E-Waste will collect regulated consumer E-Waste across Singapore for proper treatment and recycling for a period of 5 years, from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2026.
ALBA PRS Overview
E-Waste will be channeled through the ALBA E-Waste Sorting & Logistics Hub for weighing and categorisation, before they are sent to licensed E-Waste recyclers for material recovery. Raw materials are then recovered and channeled back into production, thus creating a circular value chain and reducing our environmental impact.
