Part 7/9:
Singapore exemplifies proactive strategies through its Plastics Recycling Association, which promotes stakeholder collaboration—including investors, operators, and regulators. A central focus is incentivizing consumers to recycle more effectively.
Singapore has implemented widespread convenience measures such as placing recycling bins in every HDB block—public housing—sometimes equipped with dedicated recycling trays. Despite this, contamination remains a challenge, with approximately 40% of the recyclable material in blue bins deemed non-recyclable, often due to improper sorting or contamination.
