More than 2 billion tonnes of global waste is generated yearly. By 2050, it’s expected to increase to 3.4 billion tonnes. CNBC’s Nessa Anwar traces the journey of a piece of discarded trash in Singapore to the nation’s only landfill, exploring solutions and the future of the world’s garbage dilemma.

As someone living in Singapore, I think more can be done, especially in terms of active participation from the people. As a developed country, I am surprised that there is no waste separation or recycling system in the household level. Sure there are recycling bins everywhere but people are not educated enough and in the end they just dispose everything as general waste. Also, the fact that the landfill is in another island, the trash issue is like, out of sight, out of mind. I hope in the future the people can be more aware and more involved in the recycling and trash management system instead of relying on government to take action.

I am a Singaporean but I would say we have first world government but third world people. Just look at the recycle bin below every HDB blocks, people pay no mind and often it is filled with non-recyclable garbage. Another fine example, the empty bottle collection machine has a notice on it, “please do not empty bottles and pour liquid on the floor” which speaks volume about the people here.

It is a limitation of the design of your entire infrastructure in the country, it is lacking a holistic engineering approach. The disposal of waste can be integrated with all buildings in the nation through underground automated services e.g conveyor inside piping. Buildings have to be modified or rebuilt entirely to accommodate a "shaft/chamber/hatch" to connect the underground conveyor transport to inside the apartment/flat/house/building. This would be a better approach than what we have today, if it does not solve the recycling problem entirely it does improve it significantly. Conveyor belts underground could be used for industrial waste as well. The design of packaging and materials used must be radically changed to contain less harmful material (non-degradability, toxicity e.tc) or some other solution like example being entirely designed so in conjunction with other technology within the transport system of waste (as the mentioned conveyor belt solution) and the processing facilities capabilities are tailored to all types of trash material. In other words if you know the capabilities of your technological sensors and equipment and also their limitations you can use this knowledge to design all materials that could ever end up as trash.

Incineration is really the only answer for waste that can't be recycled or composted but can be burned. It's the only "burning stuff" means of power generation that should be allowed, giving us some ability to provide power that complements fickle renewables like wind and solar, and baseline power like nuclear that is difficult to ramp up and down.

@NozomuYume
@NozomuYume 3 роки тому
@@nobodyimportant_23 Absolutely. We could even go back to reusing containers if only a few container shapes/sizes were mandated and they could be collected and reused like in the old days. The branding could be done with paper labels even, so competing products could reuse each others containers. As far as particulates go, modern incinerators are REALLY good at this. The high heat eliminates dangerous volatile products, and then the heat exchanger and scrubbers remove the heavier particulates that remain in the flue gas. The ash drops out and the end product is 99.99% CO2. This is how clean coal plants work too and they are very effective at controlling emissions, though obviously we should not be building more coal plants since CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are a problem in and of themselves. The mass use of single-use plastic needs to end (except in rare situations like emergency-use medical products). Waxed paper is fine for stuff that is meant to be consumed quickly after production, and cans and glass still work great for long-term shelf-stable products. Plastic is still too useful to abandon entirely though, and incineration is the only good way to get rid of the stuff quickly. Chemical reformation is great but we will have to tax the hell out of crude extraction to make chemical reforming viable.

I love Singapore. I think it has a city / country model we should all look to learn from. There is obviously always room for improvement. I used to work in the waste to energy industry. Initially I thought it was an incredible solution. Now I am less enthused. Recycling needs to be the primary focus. I noticed that Singapore is recycling metals- good to see. I hope there are plans to recycle their organics for farming purposes whether it be soil based or hydroponic. With new economical upcycle technologies developed from companies like Loop, they should be looking at piloting various plastic upcycling / recycling. These efforts will allow the country to achieve greater self-sufficiency and become even more of a beacon of the ideal urban model.

The project at the time is to increase the composting of organic waste from households etc. the target is too reuse / recycle more than 85% off all waste within 5-10 years. So keep up the work and be proud.

The incineration does not emit "clean air" even after filtration. It still contains harmful pollutants so incineration should only be seen as a last resort for waste management.

If it has to be part of the business plan, compulsory by law it would make a huge difference. This would be passed onto consumers. We also need to re forest, re wild that land back with its native grasses, flowers, trees etc. Laws need to be much tougher on big companies to sort it out or be shut down if they're not willing to update and modernise their company.

If an item is too big either they have someone carry it for you to your car or they tie a rope so you can hand carry it. Packaging had les plastics and the size isn't unrealistic.

Sorry taeyoh, we already have a climate crisis, and it has been monitored but not treated for about 50 years.

@@AnhPham-ro7kc Hi guy, I'm glad to come across you here. I think improving the environment in Vietnam is a long way, we need a lot of human resources, from awareness to action. But if we can't change the macro circumstances right now, let's cultivate a sense of goodness toward the environment within ourselves, manifest that consciousness in our every small action, and share it with others.
