About the Fund. The 3R Fund is a co-funding scheme to encourage organisations to reduce waste disposed of at NEA s incineration plants and disposal facilities through the implementation of waste minimisation and recycling projects.
· Plastic pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental issues as rapidly increasing production of disposable plastic products overwhelms the world s ability to deal with them
If plastics demand follows its current trajectory global plastics-waste volumes would grow from 260 million tons per year in 2016 to 460 million tons per year by 2030 taking what is already a serious environmental problem to a whole new level the face of public outcry about global plastics pollution the chemical industry is starting to mobilize on this issue.
Ditch the plastic for good with these eco-friendly alternatives. Waste is a HUGE worldwide problem and one that everyone needs to pull together to tackle. We ve been taking a look at some shocking statistics around environmental issues and looking for ways the whole family can reduce plastic waste in Singapore one plastic bag at a time. And

Recycling of waste material helps in reducing pollution levels to some extent.

· The mechanical recycling of plastic waste involves the physical degradation of the waste by using processes such as grinding and/or shredding . In contrast mechanical recycling is reported to be somewhat inefficient as a result of the complex nature of plastic waste mixtures and instead the majority of plastic wastes are incinerated 15 16 .

Singapore has impressive public waste-management systems but there s just one problemits residents aren t pulling their weight when it comes to recycling.
Plastic pollution is caused by inadequate waste disposal. Globally more than 8 billion metric tons of plastic have been produced since its first large-scale use in the 1950s. About 6.3 billion metric tons of that became waste. Only 9 was recycled and 12

· Promoting recycling is another avenue. Our plastic waste recycling rate is only 4 per cent. Compared to the 20 per cent world average we have a long way to go. Reducing packaging waste is yet another area. The Singapore Packaging Agreement initiative for companies to reduce such waste is a good albeit voluntary move.
