How Singapore is tackling its huge garbage problem

Показать описание

It doesn't matter if you are a leader in your region or not. Even the most brilliant inventors are unable to influence certain things in our lives. For example, the fact that we produce huge amounts of garbage. Singapore's ever-growing population and thriving economy have resulted in a 7-fold increase in solid waste in half a century! If in 1970 it was 1,260 tons per day, then in the year 2021 it is already 8,741 tons. And nobody is able to stop this wave of garbage. Over the past 15 years, the amount of plastic waste per capita has increased by 20%. But Singapore wouldn't be Singapore if they didn't come up with ingenious and effective solutions. How does the country get rid of waste? And why is the landfill in Singapore covered not with a pile of garbage, but with greenery?
