- In 2016 alone, we generated enough rubbish in Singapore to fill 15,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools. That calls for ambitious plans to manage it all - and put it to greener use.

I'm amazed the way the island republic manage its waste especially the e-waste. Recycling is one way to sustain the supply of materials. Good job!
Look at all the food that's been wasted .. have a heart people 😭
I can see the attraction of biogas & it uses but surely the first port of call for food waste should be composting for return to the soil to grow more food given that Singapore imports such a large quantity of its food; a way to make a virtuous circle of Singapore's food production cycle.
These are the kinds of projects where tax money should go.
This island cost 36 million usd!!!
4:07 who threw away dat FF3?
I reccycle 1 big bag of recycle stuff every month.Inside got plastic,ccardboards,paper n envelopes.I remove the plastic insside the envelopes.I recycle since 2018.Until now recycle over 100 big bags.
This step is much better and more civilized method than country like Australia which that only wants to keep it country clean but not others.
I must say that Singapore handles their garbage a lot better than the US does. Just look at how garbage is handled in the US. It’s utterly pathetic. No wonder we see so much litter everywhere and nobody wants to pick it up.
My small steps ~ Shall buy less online as ecommence generate lots of packing materials that comes with my shopping. And shop less 😉
Ya... consume lesser, must control ourselves and think abt the environment too...👍🌎🌳❤
I never knew that other countries just burn their garbage in incinerators instead of landfill - is this bad for CO2 emissions. But it makes sense because of Singapore's lack of land. Now with China not importing any recycling countries are forced to build recycling industries in their own country which should be good in the long run for the environment I hope.
Better than Methane that the landfills give off plus the energy can be used.
I feel bad for singapore as a singaporean. We really must push up the recycling habit and push down the wasting habit.
They will push up recycling habits and push down wasting habits.
@@DavidVBBMLeniPrayForMikeUkrain Yes. I hope this will work.
Question: can't other islands in Singapore serve as landfills as well aside from semakau?
Hoping to see a composting system one day. Can reduce food waste and even use the compost as fertiliser for the trees in the streets.
Stablity
Lol this costs the same as trumps wall. Lol
Unfortunately, there are still residents in my hdb block (east side) still throwing recyclables into the green bin, instead of blue bin and some just put cupboards on the floor beside the blue bin. Worse part is one day, I coincidentally found out that when the cleaner clean them up, he just throw in the green bin, instead of blue bin. 🤦🏼♀️ 100% sure that it’s not the cupboard cannot for in leh... ☹️
I think the recycle staff also like this, they didn’t bother to pick up the cupboard when they are clearing the blue bin......
Is it bad for our ozone layer and environment?pls anybody reply me i am concerned in our earth and for the future

@@jerungbiru55 is it 100% effective?
@@mark-og8qk the air filtered cleaner than farts
@@jerungbiru55 wow i hope that every car has that
@@mark-og8qk yep
Super awesome sia!
I think any countries in the world should learn from Singapore the tiny island with small population...they turn waste to energy
Wait so food can be used as fuel? Does that mean it will burn and will release greenhouse gases?
No, burn the greenhouse gasses and the food waste gets "treated"
It is a close loop. Gas releases are used to power the plant or treat other waste. Singapore regulates whatever waste gases that is discharge for industries, including waste incinerating and treatment plants. Otherwise we have to use gasification methods where no oxygen is involved so no CO2 or harmful oxides.
My trash isnt wasted. i brake it to small pieces , place it in jars and will build a wall with it.
Okay I had a dream about this and it is true
Lol, place food waste bins in a DAAAAAAMN unknown corner of the mall. Who daheck would wanna take their waste food all the way from food court level 4 to corner of the basement? HAHAHAHA
Got, if you start a program that gives people $1 for bringing their food waste down to the basement. You will see one long queue waiting.
collect the excess biogas and convert into fuels? use catalysts to convert C02 into alcohol?
Pie in the fucking sky
Some used electronics ended in Batam.
that was awesome.
The watermelon 😳
Sana all...
My future workplace 👍👍
Singaporean have bad recycling habits and i'm guilty of that. We should start doing something.
Life here is fast paced and pressure. Most will not even have time to recycle. You go to work and bought plastic bottled beverages or canned soft drinks for breakfast or lunch or dinner. Will you hold on to it until you can find a recycling bin to throw away the rubbish? That is why from the place you work, on your way home and at home you need to have bins and collection points readily available so that people can leave the waste containers there. Even if you have the facilities available, education and changing people's mindset and habit and way of life is another factor to look into. The latter however, takes time, and maybe even generations before it can happen.
Very low cost
They still get Soil from the Philippines to use in their Sea Reclamation. How can that be environmental friendly nation?
Ian_Carlo Santos another Filipino complaining? There’s a bunch of you looking for jobs here every year. I don’t see your country making any progress at all in the areas of social development, let alone environmental concerns.
@@treepeenbawlz1934 sorry to burst your bubble but i don't have plans to look for a job in singapore. Not in my Lifetime. Sorry.
@@TeamPhilippines that's not what he meant..
@@TeamPhilippines .....Singapore is improving on their environmental friendly awareness...
Sorry but your govt accepted the money
It's not our fault
Your govt sold the sand and didn't steal it
Go and bark against your govt
ALL WASTE FROM BOTH BANKS OF BRAHMAPUTRA WILL BE UTILIZED TO RECLAIM COSTLY COAST LAND FROM SADIYA TO DHUBRI UNDER PROJECT PROFIT BRAHMAPUTRA

Japanese tech.
You feel it's necessary to pound of Music at us
Sorry is 2008 not 2018.
Lol ,u can edit your comments
No point cause electricity bills still quite expensive
well...our electricity is monopolised. And if you used air con your bill will be expensive. Those that dont, they paid less then $100 a month.
They do that is not to make it cheap for you ! Is to make it better for environment and sustainability ! Want to live in a good country like SG yet want it cheap , you go try building a country lah! if you make it cheap for everyone to live in after your hard work and expensive technologies , you see whether you want to start charging all of them or not !
