Singaporeans Generated Less Waste in 2019
Need some good news? Since 2017, there has been a consistent reduction in the waste generated by Singaporean households.
According to statistics from the National Environment Agency (NEA), the amount of solid waste generated in Singapore was:
- 7.23 million tonnes in 2019
- 460,000 tonnes in 2018.
Since we’re producing less waste, it’s not surprising that we also recycle less. Combined with the pandemic’s silver lining of less air pollution due to reduced vehicular traffic and factory emissions, this gives nature a much-needed respite.
