Amid a decline in overall recycling rates, the government will conduct a review of the Zero Waste Masterplan to seek out new methods to boost recycling outcomes and extend the lifespan of Semakau Landfill beyond 2035. The review will take stock of Singapore's progress since the masterplan was launched in 2019 and identify new ways to accelerate the country's shift towards a circular economy, said Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Janil Puthucheary on Wednesday (Jun 17). Expected to be completed in 2027, the work on the review is set to begin in the coming months, with the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment and National Environment Agency (NEA) engaging the public, industry and non-governmental organisations on ideas and proposals, said Dr Puthucheary. He was speaking at Catalyst 2026, an event organised by NEA that was attended by about 300 industry leaders, experts and policymakers in the environmental services sector.   https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/zero-waste-masterplan-review-semakau-landfill-6186531 (ICE SINGAPORE)
