Singapore will undertake a comprehensive review of its national waste management masterplan, prompted by recent declines in national recycling rates. The initiative aims to prolong the operational lifespan of Semakau Landfill, the nation’s only active landfill. The review process is expected to commence within the next few months and conclude by 2027. Details regarding the scope of the review and potential strategies were not immediately available. This move signals a growing concern over waste disposal capacity in the densely populated city-state. Authorities hope the revised plan will address the challenges posed by diminishing recycling efforts and ensure sustainable waste management for the future. The review will likely explore options beyond landfill extension, including waste reduction and increased recycling initiatives.
