In Singapore, waste disposed has increased seven-fold over the past 40 years. About 7.7 million tonnes of waste was generated in 2017. This amount is enough to fill 15,000 Olympic-size swimming pools.Everyday, about 79% of our domestic waste generated will be incinerated at one of our four waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration plants. However, the more waste we incinerate, the higher our carbon footprint – this contributes to global warming and climate change.The resulting incinerated ash as well as other non-incinerable waste will then make their way to Semakau Landfill.
