This is called real waste management
For California State, there are new laws regarding to "trash management" where they would have employees from Burrect Trash companies to physically inspect trash bins of residents and give out citations to those who put the trashes in the wrong bins 😂😅..This is California State ways of trash management, alright 🤣👍😂..
The real trash management starts before the garbage is formed.
No it isnt. Singapore has nowhere to put their trash thats why they incinerate it and incinerating trash as a way of disposal is very expensive.
go search singapore population 😂😂 avg internet intellectual😂
Circular Economy
All developed nations should have this approach towards zero waste.
people are so dumb, as an engineer, burning trash is MUCH MORE HARMFUL than dumping it somewhere and leaving it there
Singapore is a city that is a country, they dont have any land thats why they can't just dump it everywhere
This is not the complete story. Singapore secretly dumps their trash in other countries.
But how would we get the FDA Recommended dose of micro plastics in our food?
So called zero waste is heating up earth look at Asia this week its outa control humans are a heat engine
Really? Recycling is far more green than incinerating for energy. That should be last resort. Singapore is very advanced in some areas but less so in others. Most people live in condos and do not have the option is recycle hence why it is incinerated but it is by no means a model to copy. Before you flame me I’m a westerner that resided in Singapore for 5 years.
My Father in law work for years in NYC Sanitation Department incinerator and I would ask him why doesn’t the City use the heat from the incinerator to generate electricity and he was always told that Con Edison would not let the city generate its own electricity! Finally the city closed all the incinerators and ConEdison has a monopoly on electricity! How’s that for a Kick in the Pants!
Sadly, this sounds so true of Amerincan corporations
100%
That is insane!
Just another day in America, just like how Ford lobbied the entire metro train system away just so people are forced to buy cars
This is why we are backwards as human beings. We are obsessed and driven by money
I lived in Singapore for 7 years . I have never seen a city so clean and safe.
you obviously haven't been to Japan, NZ or Switzerland. The cities there are super clean as well.

Singaporean here. Yes, we have such waste-to-energy (WTE) plants but i wouldnt say it's "zero trash". Excess incineration ash n non-incineratable trash is sent to Semakau landfill. Our one and only landfill (and it's running out of space). Interesting fact: it's green and lush for a landfill. Can't disregard the effort of our govt, so really proud of this initiative!
Super Singapore 💗💗💗
Those days Pulau Semakau(Semakau island) is a nice island which the people of the island had to move to mainland Singapore in the 70s.
People of semakau island was a fisher man to earn a living. Those were the days
Thank you for the knowledge! Singaporean myself but never knew this
@@hypnicjerk7696 what's there to doubt 🤡🤡🤡
Landfills aren't usually desolate wastes, you dig up a spot, bury the trash, cover it up, and then plants will grow back in time. You don't just constantly dig up the same spot you already filled, if you could landfills wouldn't run out of space.
This needs to be the standard of every city 🎉
It's so cute that you don't know that EVERY COUNTRY does this. The problem is that the gas is not "super clean" and the "new sand" is just burnt garbage and still has all the plastic and metals in it. Ignorance is bliss, I guess...
This is nothing new. 🤣🤣
Yes but we have lost Detroit.
We do this almost 40 years..We import garbage.

Meanwhile in Michigan I have to scrub my glass jars until they sparkle before I recycle them- just to have them tell me “we don’t recycle glass”…

Thank you very much for showing this to see what things are like in other parts of the world. We have so much to learn from other countries
We have done this in Sweden since forever, however the heat warms up water that we use as our hot water and to warm up our houses in the winter and we are unfortunately so good at recycling too that we had to buy garbage from other countries😂
Surprised your country couldn't negotiate getting it for free or have someone pay you to take it
No way
I’m guessing you just paying for shipping
You can come and picked trash in Philippine land fields for free 😊
@@mikej9470they r competing with other countries and facilities. Garbage is a business
This is actually very smart. Good on Singapore for taking a problem and coming up with a solution that can help everyone and solve numerous other problems at the same time
This isn't a unique mehod to Singapore
This is literally the worst way to do it
Did no one explain to them there are jungles where it could be dumped???? (spoiler alert. that's called satire)
That said, I really don't want to know what the CO2 waste look like. Singapore currently has higher emissions per capita than China, so this probably isn't something that should be adopted by bigger countries.
India all want this in this new generation
Awesome content every country should be adopting this upcycling system...
most have more advanced ones. At least in the west.
these things aren’t as safe as this short makes it sound. these incineration plants create dioxins, which causes cancer. i doubt the plant actually fully filters out the other chemicals as well. aside from that, singapore only has 1 landfill where the ash goes. its estimated that they’ll need a new one every 2-3 decades from being filled fully. that’s before you mention the environmental impact that the ash would have on the surrounding communities and environments if it were to get into water supplies from natural disasters. or the long term health risks from living near one of these landfills full of chemical ash.
You are aware they are just transforming their trash into trash that the whole world has to deal with right?
This isnt recycling and it isnt even close to upcycling so dont be confused
Even through the darkest days, this fire burns, always,
In case you're wondering; Singapore does this due to extreme land limitations. It is very smart for their specific situation, but wouldn't work everywhere. Burning trash creates horrendous pollution that is very expensive to mitigate. Doable in Singapore for a cost (Singapore is uber expensive to live in for many reasons, this is one of them), not so feasible in most places.
Correct
Singapore isn't Uber expensive to live in - it only becomes Uber expensive when you consider three primary cost drivers: homes by sqfoot, rental prices (if necessary), and cars. Someone earning 2.5k SGD in Singapore could live a very comfortable life as long as they live with their parents (which Asians do much longer than western societies anyway), and choose not to drive (our public transport is highly efficient and our country is small).
Anyway I digress - this particular process isn't a significant cost driver for us. Neither is any other basic necessity such as water, food, medicine etc, despite many of these things relying on highly efficient and technically expensive processes. We also have relatively, perhaps even extremely, low taxes.
The problem with a lot of these reports talking about Singaporean cost of living or is being an "expensive country" is that they take a relative position against a western standard of living, such as having a car or living in a suburban two or three story home with a garage - all of which are completely irrelevant to having a good and comfortable life Singapore.
Duh I think everyone knows this already and Singapore is a shell country aka tax shelter also. But wealthy countries can do this and have better solutions for the after effects of ashes and pollution . It is about money though
You replied seriously😂😂😂
So the filtering part is a lie, right? Because it says the air comes out "super" clean, so the video is bait, right?

Singapore is amazing and it has always been my favourite country ever since I was a kid! I have been there in 2013
Waste is burned all over the world and its not particularily clean, however, here in denmark we use it to make Power2X-Fuel, which means we use windpower and Hydrogen from windpowered electrolysis to create synthetic combustion fuels for planes, ships and cars. Which is slightly greener than fossile sourced fuels.
Don't forget--they also have very strict laws regarding littering and waste! For being such a small island nation, it's super important to keep the coastline clean!
unfortunately singapore is 0.016% of south east asia let alone the whole world. more countries need to be on board with this

Singaporean here. The ashes from the trash incineration is shipped by barged to a trash island called Semakau island where it's dumped into a reservoir in the middle of the island until it's completely filled around 2050. The govt hopes to slow down this deadline by other means.
Despite the waste being put at the island warehouse, there's actually no smell.
Also, the island is gorgeous despite it's purpose.
Source: I attended a guided tour there.
Have you looked at the spec info on the “ toxic “ gas filtration system? I’m curious to how effective it is, and what sort of “ standard “ is being called “ safe “
I went too with my students…. They planned to built resorts or houses on the island once the cells are all filled up and the land is stable… at Pulau Semakau, they have a 3 rings mangrove system around the island to detect water pollution from the ashes they used to filled up the cells… so they can react quickly if the first ring of mangrove starts to die…

What 50 years ago was a wasteland got to be a world leader in many departments. Respect y'all up there
to the ppl asking where the NEWsand goes, it goes to pulau semakau, an island that contains specialised treated water. the island is just an outline, and now most of the water is already land. the ash is dumped into the water that is within the island, where it then fills, thus forming an island.
just google pulau semakau if you want to know more
(and pulau semakau is south of Singapore)
How about the exhaust? Seems unsustainable. This is on a small scale, don't think real cities can implement it.
What about the toxic chemicals that were on the filters?
It goes to a landfill based at the island and does not form a useable part of the island. Access to humans is strictly off limits due to the hazardous sand produced from this process.
Tests are underway for possible repurpose of the sand but not finalised yet as lots of treatment processes will be needed to make it safe for use. The only thing to change is metal recovery to date.
@@meta5291 the exhausts are actually filtering out the entire country's trash every day, and the scale is fairly big, so it does work
@@mattyjohnson2860if im not wrong the ash forms the bottom of the island (like the base), and then soil and other materials are put on top to form the island.
if u see the pics of semakau last time compared to now, u can see how the parts filled by the ash is now actual land
Many countries have found out landfills are not the future. In Denmark we also burn the trash to get heat and electricity
Same for Austria.
Landfill makes soil bad and make the space hell
They do that in China too.
By the way, that night city view shown is not Singapore.
That's the city of Shenzhen in China 🇨🇳
We have these in germany as well, the problem is that these enourmas structures are often constructed outside or on the edge of towns because they wouldnt fit in already excisting towns and the energy these facilities priduce cant be transported or distribitued good enough because of the distance.
Singapore is really an amazing country in a lot of ways, not only do they have a great waste management system but their healthcare system is genuinely world-class for its citizens (not free but very affordable with major operations heavily subsidized). Not to mention in general the country comparably very safe, economically stable with a good job market, and its government is fairly agile when it comes to addressing issues and policy improvements.
Most counties probably could do this as well but when there’s corruption, money is filtered under the table for their own interest which prevents quality actions like this.
People are paid to continue a problem not fix it, otherwise they'd lose their jobs. That's one of the biggest issues when facing certain problems.
It’s called unions. Always want a cut of the pie. There no Boy Scouts.
Yup it's called good infrastructure. Rich people don't care about that because they want all the money!
Most countries already do this, it's called waste management. 🤦
The countries that use trillions of dollars for war can't even do this 😂
This is one of the ways forward! This system ticks all the boxes, super efficient, and a great example of how to do things.
Be sceptical of the "super cleanness" of that incineration.
You can only place these facilities far away from people in areas that are already polluted.
Except they're still just burning the limited fossil fuels and plastics that the modern world completely depends on. Once all that plastic is gone we're done. Probably shouldn't be burning it if it's possible to perpetually recycle.
None of it matters if we can’t afford it
its not super efficient. Get some of your rubbish and see how much you have to burn just to cook your dinner.
Its inefficient and ultimately unsustainable. It also encourages all sorts of terrible things to be used and go into the rubbish. But its singapore - question this and you go to prison.
We might have to afford this 😮
Wow, this is first time i am commenting a shorts. But i feel i have to say that it is amazing!
this is pretty common practice in the netherlands too. As a major food exporter, some waste plants even inject the produced CO2 into greenhouses for the plants
Yeah it works for secluded locked down nations with less than 20 million people, try doing that with a nation of 500 million.
Netherlands is a lefty nation
@cris-rj5zf so what?
So what?
Fuck the lefties that's what
@@cris-rj5zf nothing better than a lefty nation. Who wants a righty shithole?!
In the Netherlands we also have a system like this. Almost 100% of iron gets separated out and close to 80% of all aluminum. All plastic packaging gets recognized by AI camera's who know what type of plastic it is. Better than human separation. The remainder gets burned and filtered. The ashes that contain heavy metals and other toxics are poured into concrete. But that is only a negligible amount compared to the input of the process. I guess Singapore has a similar process.
My best guess is that the numbers are inflated by a lot.
We, the Dutch, sell waste (PFAS) to Belgium so they can dump it in the river that takes it back to us.
Now that is waste management...
Also we import insane amounts of lumber to heat our country and call that a good idea.
Nah, we here fuck it up like everyone else in the world, but we got some pretty statistics.
Singapore is ahead of us in some ways but we are to look for producing less waste instead of looking for how to get rid of it in the first place
Very good
Can this be learnt for the betterment of my country
But we pay a shit ton in waste taxes for this shit
@@super_caprice2416taxes are probably better than the alternative, although I hate paying taxes as well. Taxes are probably the lessor of the two evils, as long as they actually go towards the intended cause.
i visited Singapore once during a deployment. probably the cleanest city i’ve ever seen. 😮
Years back. I approached our rubbish company. My company had a water furnace that burns trash totally clean and produces energy for the community. They laughed at me!!!
Did you show them the cost? There is no such thing as totally clean. No wonder they laughed at you.
Totally clean is a joke
Dam guy chill 💀💀
You know why they laughed at you
What a shame
Every country should take an example of this

Two thumbs up for SINGAPORE ideas 👍👍
I remember being there in the late 80s and couldn't believe how clean the streets were. Chewing is outlawed. It makes some difference. Rest of the world...take note.
Chewing GUM (and presumably tobacco) is outlawed. Not just “chewing”. At least I’m pretty sure that Singaporeans don’t have to eat all their food through straws.
@@drdiabeetus4419Ok thank you for saying that 😂
No chewing! Wow. Ah I get it! They only eat soup which also reduces waste!

We have this in Sweden, we literally import garbage from other countries to supply our incinerators for electricity
And this is what Norway does too except we also recycle plastic, cardboard, glass and metal too
In 1986, my first electrical job in New Jersey, we built a trash to steam incinerator at Fort Dix.
I've been to Singapore 3 times. Wonderful country with wonderful people. And sooooo clean.

I heard its mega expensive to live and many are not happy there. Gotta be rich to have a car etc... is this true?
This is a lie! You’ve obviously never been to little India in Singapore. It’s mostly expensive (there are cheaper places to eat and drink like Chinatown), it is very hard to obtain a drivers license as they only allow a certain number of people to have one, the humidity is ridiculous and their beer is shit.
Hahaha they're the biggest set of racist robots out there 🤣🤣🤣
That’s absolutely amazing! Why don’t more places do this
Spokane, WA also jumped on using zero-emission incinerators to deal with waste
I would say it's a good system, especially the ash recovery and re-use. They had a similar system in Detroit for years, but it didn't work as well and was shut down in 2019 due to poor air quality issues. For the record, Detroit's Air Quality Index is now a fairly clean 22, compared to 73 for LA and 27 for Seattle.
Bro you guys living in a much better world. Here in Delhi it’s 250 AQI the lowest and for two months it 350 -400. Even after rain the AQI go as low as 180-200.

Yup - Singapore does NOT play. The punishment there are VERY severe, Draconian, even for littering. You are talking prison time and caning! Had a colleague living there years ago, and there were sensors on the elevator floor so folks dont spit or urinate on the floor, etc. Well a guy in an elevator he shared accidentally spilled his coffee, setting off the sensors. He said by the time they hit the lobby, there were already two policemen waiting to arrest him. Naturally when it was explained it was an accident, everything was fine. But no they do NOT play. It is the very definition of FAFO LOL. I heard it is beautiful and very clean there.

Useful for very densely populated areas but not for anywhere else
My father managed a lot of recycling plants when I was little. I grew up wanting to build waste to energy( WTE )plants but using anaerobic pyrolosis to help create syngas and slag. While it can be expensive. You can sell the slag, syngas,and clean water as byproducts. Incineration is actually very bad for the environment while pyrolisis is a closed system that recirculates the gasses created to run its plasma torches that heat at 4-7k degrees.
maybe the return is not enough for maintainance cost? or maybe ship them to china is more cost effective?
@@jakkrit6910so China can take a dump it into the ocean like it has been?
That's really interesting, thanks
You can actually create a pyrolysis plant in your backyard is not that hard, but also not as efficient when trying to separate the bi-product
That's really cool. I work at a startup developing a CH4->H2 pyrolysis setup. Syngas would be a great alternative to the methane we ordinarily use, and make the end product hydrogen even less CO2 intensive
soothing narrator voice:
the ressources wasted in this process are forever gone .. and people love it

this is what Australia people protested against so we don't have one - sad, Canada has several also
Can't do that. The politicians didn't get money if this thing/project becames real.
All them healthy emissions lol
What process? Never heard of it!
@GoodMrDawes waste to energy is one process. The garbage is used as fuel instead of coal, oil, or gas. Wheelabrator is one company that does this. Covanta is another. The some problems are, it needs a steady stream of waste to burn, the waste stream backs up when the plant is not running, the smell around the facility is that of a dump or landfill. It is a great way to get rid of waste.
Man, what an idea, This will create Employment, save energy, saves Nature. Wow!!!
OMG! I have to look this up. I’ve never been so damn elated.
Waste combustion is particularly popular in countries such as Japan, Singapore and the Netherlands, where land is a scarce resource. Denmark and Sweden have been leaders by using the energy generated from incineration for more than a century, in localised combined heat and power facilities supporting district heating schemes.
In Japan, tho, most of it gets shipped to poor countries.

We do the same in Denmark 🇩🇰
And all the organic waste is used for bio gas production and that is used for heating especially in the cities.
Same in Sweden but apparently Singapore also do it with 94% of their plastics which isn't such a great idea.
That's pretty cool. America needs to get on board.
Well done Singapore.
My govt is just as incompetent as the rest.
They know and have solutions but those options don't keep their rich oil friends rich
this is what Australian people protested against so we dont have one - sad, Canada has several also
Trash Incineration and Climate Change: Debunking EPA Misinformation. Trash incineration is incredibly bad for the climate, releasing 2.5 times as much carbon dioxide CO2 to make the same amount of electricity as a coal power plant.
This is the power of China. Singapore is such a futuristic chinese city
Please share this knowledge to Indonesia ❤❤❤
we have two this kind of power plant in my city. ChangShu, China. All machine are imported from Germany.
This should be a global initiative.. Maybe it's something we can do right
Email your representatives. Tell them you want this here. Contacting them is the best way to let them know what you want done for your area/state. You can easily make a form letter for any issue you want them to look at.
they want problems.
Been there last week. What a country!!! Whole world can learn from Singapore.
It's got a dark side.
Don't chew gum

Every country got a dark side.
But not every country could prosper in spite of it.
@@RonLarhz Like all utopias they have an extreme slum situation with many in poverty, people in their 70s or 80s working hard jobs to make a living, serious restrictions on free speech and assemble, even when a protest doesn't harm anyone around, sexist CMT and a very harsh justice system that is not always about "innocent until proven guilty" or is more about controlling the population, and I don't meant the graffiti thing and that started as a way of stopping political protest.
Basically, it's a bit like Midgar from Final Fantasy 7.
@@TheGroundedAviatoryou act as if none of that exists in the US, there are plenty of old people unable to retire, slum? Sure, if you consider most of the US population living in an enlarged kid's arts and craft project considering most of the houses are essentially made of paper, justice system that is not "innocent until proven guilty" have you never seen false rape allegations?, freedom of speech isnt considered as important in other cultures, dont impose your own values on others.
"Protesting without harm to others" if you impede traffic and shut down the economy and essential services you ARE harming others. Singapore does allow protesting, in a little park where you are free to protest without disrupting anyone, and everyone should be able to not have their lives be disrupted by you.
Freedom of speech has done nothing for the US, poor education, high crime rates, high murder rate, poor public infrastructure, poor representation, open corruption through "lobbying", what has freedom of speech even brought about that is worth mentioning? I have no idea why americans are so proud of it when it literally does nothing, its like a kid who shows off a participation trophy.
This should serve as an example and become a mandatory measure in every country in the world!
I’m amazed at the forethought they have to do such great things 😮
awesome.....filtering the toxic smoke out..thats the best bit....burn plastic you get black poisonous smoke...
In Sweden trash is a valuable fuel. There many combined heat and power plants all over which supply district heating to towns and cities. Even in the depths of the Swedish winter. We even import trash from our neighbours.
The United States government would come up with a million reasons to forbid this idea no matter how much it would benefit the country. Way to go Singapore great idea I must say
It could happen except the Climate Change cult members would find something wrong and demand it be stopped.
We used to have it but tgese so called green warriors ended it
I know like all those chemicals in the air.

They still do this in parts of the USA. Also Singapore is about 277sq mi, while the USA is over 3.79 million sq miles.
The sad thing about singapore is we have much smaller homes. In america u could probally get a 2-story house with a pool and a backyard for like 900k. In singapore you could probally only get a 1-story house. If your lucky. A 2-story one with nothing else for the same price. And its damn hot here especially with no winter or snow, the heat can be unbearable sometimes. Its still an amazing place here. Im surprised a small country, devestated by war could turn into a rich country. BUT THE DRIVERS. THEY ARE HORRIBLE. Still love me home though❤
