How do we become a zero waste society?
Without urgent and persistent action, Singapore faces a grave ecological reality. It is anticipated that the country’s sole landfill will be full by the year…
The good news is that the ongoing threat is also an opportunity to revitalise Singapore’s creative industries, and to be a gleaming beacon of success that other nations can look to for inspiration and best practices.
