Solid waste management
As a leading environmental services provider in Singapore, we are focused on waste management and recycling services. We offer a comprehensive range of services to customers in the municipal, industrial and commercial sectors.
Our solid waste management services include:
Waste-to-resource
To maximise the use of resources, we harness energy from biomass derived from industrial and commercial waste. In Singapore, we have capabilities in the entire energy-from-waste value chain, from waste collection to steam generation. Energy, generated in the form of steam, is supplied back to our customers for their industrial needs.
In the UK, our energy-from-waste facility effectively diverts 440,000 tonnes of household residual waste from landfills annually. In addition, our biomass power station utilises low-grade recycled wood to produce energy. These facilities collectively help to avoid approximately 330,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
