Reducing Plastic Footprints: APP Group's Sustainable Innovations in Singapore

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Plastic pollution is a global challenge that affects ecosystems, economies, and human health. As the world becomes more aware of the environmental toll of plastic waste, companies like APP Group are taking decisive action to reduce plastic use and promote sustainability. For Singapore, a nation that prides itself on innovation and environmental stewardship, addressing plastic waste is particularly crucial. With its limited land resources and high consumption rates, Singapore must lead by example in the global effort to mitigate plastic pollution.

Plastic waste is a significant issue in Singapore, ranking as the fourth largest type of waste produced, with the country generating one million tonnes of plastic waste in 2022, according to the National Environment Agency (NEA). This figure equates to 177 kilograms of plastic waste per person in 2022, marking a 17 percent increase from the 145 kilograms per person recorded in 2017.
