The Paper Recycling Process

 The Plastic Recycling Process

 

Living space is valuable. This is especially more so in tiny Singapore with an area of only 682 square kilometres. Our only landfill site left is at Pulau Semakau which is expected to last until 2030. We can help to prolong the use of our last landfill site by adopting the 3 Rs:

Reduce - Avoid unnecessary waste generation

Reuse - Use again

Recycle - Convert unwanted things into useful and marketable recycled products

The following tips from the National Environment Agency shows you the 3 Rs way for home, school, office and organisation:

Home - Reduce     Reuse     Recycle

School - Reduce     Reuse     Recycle

Office - Reduce     Reuse     Recycle

Organisation - Inventory Management     Production Process Management
