Singapore is reassessing its “Zero Waste Masterplan” following a record increase in waste disposal in 2025. Despite national sustainability goals, the amount of waste generated has surpassed previous levels, indicating a decline in recycling rates. The review aims to identify shortcomings in current waste management strategies and explore potential improvements. Authorities have not yet specified the exact figures for the record waste disposal, but acknowledge the trend is concerning. The plan’s effectiveness in promoting circular economy practices and reducing landfill reliance is now under scrutiny. The review will likely involve consultations with stakeholders and a re-evaluation of waste reduction targets. This development raises questions about Singapore’s progress towards its long-term environmental objectives.
