Have you considered your waste to be useful? In Singapore, waste is used to generate useful energy. The combustion of waste generates superheated steam, which is used to turn generators to produce electricity.

With waste used to generate electricity, less coal is required to generate electricity, causing less air pollution.
2. Building of landfills
3. tuas offshore marine centre
Built to optimise landuse in Singapore, this marine centre provides marine terminal-related services to target the marine and offshore industry. It allows companies to safely load and discharge structures, modules and cargoes which are heavy and oversized.
