Helping Singapore recycle better | Our Better Nature EP 4 

some of the recyclables actually get contaminated inside the big blue bin, i think it would be better to have different bins for different types of recyclables, thus the whole recyclable process will be more efficient!

Begin teaching recycling in schools at a young age so the next generation will be well-versed in sorting recyclables. It's crucial to start this practice at home, as relying on a central sorting center staffed by humans is inefficient. Many recyclables end up in landfills because they aren't properly sorted.

Litterbugs are as bad as trash.

Oh luckily this program is shown. Or else I will find recycling a hassle.

My mom always clean the Cans and others to recycle . But in the end my dad throw them off to the bin cause he say my mom is crazy and has mental problem . Have to check in IMH . Maybe other family has to same as mine .

Can we get the 🤔 prisoners to do the Sembcorp recycle job? 🤨 think it will help cut down crime rates too… after death penalty and caning 🤨 put them to good use… recycle!!!

What you do to old clothes

Third world countries are the best recyclers . Dumps are full of people sorting out what is saleable

You want to recycle? Look to how Japan does recycling. It is a full community effort and I honestly do not believe the general Singapore public will have to patience to seperate their trash for recycling.

Eliminate the plastic!

Asean should work together hello from 🇲🇨.. here get worst

Please provide non potable water to support the rinsing of cans and paper cartons. Using our precious tap water to rinse cans is a waste of our precious resource.

It is ironic that to save the environment we need to consume less but consuming less is in direct opposition to the growth of the economy. In a capitalistic economy, the more people consume the larger the economy. That's what GDP literally is. Historically, the government as shunned the idea of a slower economy and always emphasised the need to ensure our economy continues growing to thrive in the world. So, if the government wants the economy to grow but trash to reduce. Then they need to incentivise recycling. Telling people that it's for the greater good is rarely enough to get everyone on board. If people could get say tax breaks or perhaps rebates on every recyclable product bought. That would push people towards consciously choosing green products. That would then slowly see a shift towards more recycling as most of the waste produced would be of recyclable materials. This would allow consumption to remain high enough for the economy to expand and at the same time waste generated will be lesser as more and more people use recyclable products.

Singapore has no place to recycle clothes and household electronics appliances such as a rice cooker. Not sure what other advanced countries do with those items? And is Singapore going to do recycling business in those items?
