11 Current Activities

12 Coverage of Singapore s Waste Management System Waste Collection Waste Minimisation & Recycling Waste Disposal

13 Waste Collection Waste Collection Licensing of waste collection services Public Waste Collection Tenders Covers Domestic & Trade premises Private arrangement with General Waste Collectors Industrial premises and those not covered under the public waste collection tenders Illegal Dumping Enforcement

14 Waste Minimisation & Recycling Overall Recycling Rate in 2011: 59% Sustainable Singapore Blueprint - 65% by 2020, 70% by 2030 Key Programmes National Recycling Programme (HDB and landed) Mandatory provision of recycling receptacles for condominium School Recycling Corner Programme Recycling programme for JTC industrial estates Singapore Packaging Agreement 3R Packing Awards Recycling Week School Recycling Corner Programme Development of domestic recycling services C&D Recycling

15 Waste Disposal Incineration (Waste-to-energy Plants) 4 waste-to-energy plants Total capacity of 7,600 tons/day Ensure adequate incineration capacity beyond 2016 Privately-operated Waste-to-Energy Plants Public Private Partnership (PPP) model Allow private sector to provide essential services Incineration Services Agreement Landfill Singapore s only landfill Ensure landfill to last beyond 2040 Tuas South WTE Plant Keppel DBOO WTE Tuas Marine Transfer Station Semakau Landfill

16 Toxic Industrial Waste Recycled product for re-use Collection Treatment Recovered secondary material Off-takers Waste generators Toxic Waste Treatment Facility Semakau Landfill Exported Incineration ash Overseas recycling facilities Examples of TIW Spent Etchants Waste Oils Spent Coolants Spent Solvents Pathogenic Wastes Oil/Chemical Sludge Spent Acids and Alkalis In 2010, 1,141,900m 3 of TIW collected and treated 15 toxic/hazardous waste treatment facilities

17 Daily Medical Waste Collection from Hospitals BiohazardousWaste Waste Removal from Hospital Bin Centre Incineration in Dedicated Medical Waste IP Examples of Bio-hazardous Waste: Infectious waste Pathological waste Contaminated sharps In 2009, 20,700 m 3 of biohazardouswaste collected and disposed of 3 biohazardous waste treatment facilities Routine clinical waste Cytotoxic waste Radioactive waste Pharmaceutical waste Chemical waste General Waste

18 Challenges

19 Challenges Increase in waste generation due to population and economic growth Limited space for disposal and recycling facilities How to further raise recycling rate Turning waste into resource

20 R&D as a Priority Basic Research Applied Research Test Bedding & Demonstration Pre- Commercialisation Operations Environment Technology Research Programme (ETRP) $15 mil ( 8.43 m) Innovation for Environmental Sustainability Fund (IES) $20 mil( m) 3R Fund $8 mil ( 4.5 m) Types of incentive programmes available in solid waste management

21 Incineration Bottom Ash Non-incinerable Waste t/d (e.g. sludge & slag) Incineration Ash - 1,728 t/d Semakau Landfill Reduce waste to landfill through use of IBA as construction material IBA from Waste-to-Energy Plant Processed IBA Completed road-base with IBA

22 Knowledge Transfer as a Priority
