In recent years, people became aware of the environmental problems caused by the synthetic plastics, and there is a shift in the perception of people that plastics are no longer unambiguously positive. More than 75 per cent of all plastic produced is waste. Less than twenty percent of plastic waste worldwide is recycled. A good proportion of it is incinerated. One-third of plastic waste ends up in nature, accounting for 100 million tons of plastic waste in 2016.
With concerted and sustained efforts and new innovations, future plastics will be safer and sustainable. In other words, sustainable plastic engineering is the way forward. It has been articulated that materials circular economy vision is the best way to sustain future for human beings on the planet earth. It provides for future generations of humans as well as all other inhabitants of earth in terms of healthy living, sustainable natural resources, new economic growth and job opportunities, and perhaps a version of heaven on Earth for all.

Today more than 2.5 billion people worldwide lack proper sanitation and it’s estimated that 400,000 babies die every year due to poor hand sanitation, mostly in underdeveloped countries. Meanwhile, a typical 400-room hotel generates 3.5 tonnes of solid soap waste every year. The Soap for Hope program collaborates with our hotel customers around the world to salvage used soap slivers, sanitize and recycle them into new soap bars for communities in need and enhance livelihood. Since its launch in 2013, Soap for Hope has collected 3,800 metric tonnes of soap waste from 653 partner hotels and created nearly 32 million bars of new soap and the program grows in participation in every passing year.

Similarly, Diversey’s Linens for Life programs was created to assist people displaced by natural disasters and reduce linen waste. Linens discarded by hotels are often just discarded as useless. Since 2011, Diversey has collected nearly 128 tonnes of linen, equivalent to 16,000 queen-size bedsheets, discarded by hotels for disaster relief and livelihood generation.

How to harness natural enzymes that digest plastics and turn them into chemicals normally produced in oil refineries. Mono-ethylene glycol from enzyme-eaten plastic bottles can be sold at prices 10 times higher than the value of trash.

Singapore has limited land mass and imports most of its resources and the need to re-use and recycle e-Waste sustainably is important as the nation continues to strive for meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. We will present the current challenges in aiming toward more sustainability as well as possible innovations, especially in recycling processes.

We will also cover the NTU-Singapore CEA Alliance for Research in Circular Economy (SCARCE)’s R&D efforts to develop novel recycling technologies/solutions that can sort, dismantle, and recover materials from e-Waste. Such endeavors have the potential to contribute to the Singapore Sustainable Blueprint and further develop recycling industry by tapping on technological opportunities.

SCARCE is a partnership between NTU and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA, France), to develop innovative and energy-efficient solutions in recycling and recovery of resources from e-Waste with financial support from the NEA.

Food Waste Management & Trigeneration Plant

Food makes up 22% of discarded municipal solid waste. The single largest source of GHG, it causes 8% of emissions. 5% is retail expiration date waste. Food waste reduction solutions are now available for food retailed, unleashing dynamic pricing’s power, based on expiry dates. They offer mark-down optimization and with this can achieve a 60% reduction in food waste, the opportunity to boost top line revenues by 6% and raise actionable consumer waste awareness.

A journey that started in the early 2011 with the installation of the Trigeneration Plant, the hotel has since achieved waste and water reduction, better utilization of resources and energy, and providing guests with greater value through sustainable dining and wellness.

The hotel will continue to embed sustainability in our strategy by exploring more opportunities in Food Sourcing, Food Waste Management, Energy and Water, and Hotel Operations, as we build a culture of Environmental Stewardship for 2020 and beyond.
