Insights on the Incineration practices in Singapore to deal with effective waste management
Owing to its limited land area and dense population, it is very important that Singapore has an efficient system for the collection and disposal of waste generated across the nation.
To meet this increasing need, Singapore has developed an advanced waste management system that minimises land use.
In Singapore, 92% of waste is incinerated, on the other hand, the remaining is landfilled at a unique offshore solid waste facility. Singapore’s four incineration plants serve as a land-efficient method of waste management, and they provide 3% of the island’s electricity needs.
Overall, Singapore’s integrated waste management system focuses on three areas: collection, recovery and treatment.
Core strategies for the sustainability of Singapore’s waste management include:
- Minimising waste through reducing, reusing and recycling (more than 50 per cent of Singapore’s waste is recycled)
- A push towards Zero Landfill
- Developing the waste management industry and positioning Singapore as a centre for waste management technology in the region
