Recycling plays a key part in reducing global warming and climate change.
In Singapore,
60,000 tonnes
of electronic waste is generated annually.

70 mobile phones
per person.

For a land-scarce state like Singapore, the Smart Waste Management System can be a great solution to turn waste into energy or biochar, which keeps the country cleaner and greener.
In 2017,
809,800 tonnes
of food waste was generated and
only 16% were recycled.
The rest of it is incinerated and sent to our precious landfills.

0.25°C
per decade
and the daily mean temperature are projected to increase by
1.4 °C to 4.6 °C
Since 2007, Singapore’s energy consumption has increased by
17%.
That’s equivalent to adding $1,000 annually to the utilities bill of the average household.
