Our Message
Achieving a circular economy is part of one of the key 5 pillars of the Singapore Green Plan 2030 - Sustainable Living.
Sustainable Living
Resilient Future
City In Nature
Energy Reset
Green Economy
The process of improving our economy takes up energy, water and other resources in which Singapore lacks. This also leads to a rise in sewerage and other solid waste that must be disposed of. These are obstacles for countries, especially in Singapore where land and natural resources are limited. Semakau Landfill, the only one we have, will be filled up rapidly if we continue disposing waste at our present rate.
Singapore must embrace a circular economy approach to overcome these challenges and grow sustainably. As a small nation, Singapore has always been acutely aware of the need to regulate economic development by taking into consideration the impacts our actions have on the environment. Countries like the Netherlands and Finland have already adopted this approach due to resource scarcity, fluctuating resource prices, and the environmental impact of the detrimental use of valuable resources. Thus, the circular economy is vital to Singapore’s Green Plan 2030.
