BATTERY SECTOR A
ROLLERCOASTER
With so many modern products
including a battery, it means more
business for recyclers. At the same
time it’s becoming more urgent for
them to update their business model.
TAKING THE LEAD IN SINGAPORE
Singapore is better known as trade and logis-
tics hub for scrap than a recycling hotspot. But
things are changing in the tropical city state,
thanks to entrepreneurs like Lim Teck Siang.
LIKE THE REAL THING
During the three-day open-air
Recycling Aktiv show, professionals
saw first hand how 3 000 tonnes of
scrap materials are moved, shredded,
sorted and baled.
