Recently I read an interesting article on the press about Singapore waste management, and I think worth to share with fellow friends here in read.cash.
So the whole process is like photo below:
Garbage collected from whole country will be sent to Tuas West Incineration plant. As you know, Singapore is a small country and do not have any land for landfill garbage.
So they come out with idea to burn the garbage away. Then the leftover byproduct which is of 10%of the trash original size and volumn , then would be collect and send to fill up an island called Semakau Island.
When they burnt the trash, energy generated and use for the factory electricity.
Then Semakau Island,which is located southern of the nation, is planned to become residential island in 30years down the road. If you googled for the videos about this island. You could see greenery is already in placed there while waiting to be filled up.
1 stone 2 birds, settled the current trash storage problem and make the land for future use. Brilliant ya ?
I think I previously watched the documentary on Channel News Asia about the Semakau Island, it indeed a brilliant idea !
