Really? Recycling is far more green than incinerating for energy. That should be last resort. Singapore is very advanced in some areas but less so in others. Most people live in condos and do not have the option is recycle hence why it is incinerated but it is by no means a model to copy.

Waste is burned all over the world and its not particularily clean, however, here in denmark we use it to make Power2X-Fuel, which means we use windpower and Hydrogen from windpowered electrolysis to create synthetic combustion fuels for planes, ships and cars. Which is slightly greener than fossile sourced fuels.

My Father in law work for years in NYC Sanitation Department incinerator and I would ask him why doesn’t the City use the heat from the incinerator to generate electricity and he was always told that Con Edison would not let the city generate its own electricity! Finally the city closed all the incinerators and ConEdison has a monopoly on electricity! How’s that for a Kick in the Pants!

In case you're wondering; Singapore does this due to extreme land limitations. It is very smart for their specific situation, but wouldn't work everywhere.

@moltenbullet

Ай бұрын

Singapore isn't Uber expensive to live in - it only becomes Uber expensive when you consider three primary cost drivers: homes by sqfoot, rental prices (if necessary), and cars. Someone earning 2.5k SGD in Singapore could live a very comfortable life as long as they live with their parents (which Asians do much longer than western societies anyway), and choose not to drive (our public transport is highly efficient and our country is small). Anyway I digress - this particular process isn't a significant cost driver for us. Neither is any other basic necessity such as water, food, medicine etc, despite many of these things relying on highly efficient and technically expensive processes. We also have relatively, perhaps even extremely, low taxes. The problem with a lot of these reports talking about Singaporean cost of living or is being an "expensive country" is that they take a relative position against a western standard of living, such as having a car or living in a suburban two or three story home with a garage - all of which are completely irrelevant to having a good and comfortable life Singapore.

Singaporean here. The ashes from the trash incineration is shipped by barged to a trash island called Semakau island where it's dumped into a reservoir in the middle of the island until it's completely filled around 2050. The govt hopes to slow down this deadline by other means. Despite the waste being put at the island warehouse, there's actually no smell. Also, the island is gorgeous despite it's purpose.

In the Netherlands we also have a system like this. Almost 100% of iron gets separated out and close to 80% of all aluminum. All plastic packaging gets recognized by AI camera's who know what type of plastic it is. Better than human separation. The remainder gets burned and filtered. The ashes that contain heavy metals and other toxics are poured into concrete. But that is only a negligible amount compared to the input of the process. I guess Singapore has a similar process.

Where I live, we pretend to have recycling, but a news reporter got curious and all of the collected waste ended up at the same landfill. Didn’t change anything so…

I thought it was going to be like "there is no war in ba sing se" but this is just an actual cool fact

in America, we just dig big holes and fill them with garbage, cover it in dirt then build houses over them.

I appreciate my government and thank them everyday for taking care of our people and keep Singapore beautiful, clean and a wonderful place to live.

Read about scrubber systems. Smoke is pumped through several stages of water tanks, and only CO2 and water is released into the atmosphere. The pollution and heavy metals are collected and stored. It is even required that larger ships clean their smoke, if they want to enter european harbours.

Yup - Singapore does NOT play. The punishment there are VERY severe, Draconian, even for littering. You are talking prison time and caning! Had a colleague living there years ago, and there were sensors on the elevator floor so folks dont spit or urinate on the floor, etc. Well a guy in an elevator he shared accidentally spilled his coffee, setting off the sensors. He said by the time they hit the lobby, there were already two policemen waiting to arrest him. Naturally when it was explained it was an accident, everything was fine. But no they do NOT play. It is the very definition of FAFO LOL. I heard it is beautiful and very clean there.

We have this in Sweden, we literally import garbage from other countries to supply our incinerators for electricity

Useful for very densely populated areas but not for anywhere else

My father managed a lot of recycling plants when I was little. I grew up wanting to build waste to energy( WTE )plants but using anaerobic pyrolosis to help create syngas and slag. While it can be expensive. You can sell the slag, syngas,and clean water as byproducts. Incineration is actually very bad for the environment while pyrolisis is a closed system that recirculates the gasses created to run its plasma torches that heat at 4-7k degrees.

@davidpactol5758

​@GoodMrDawes waste to energy is one process. The garbage is used as fuel instead of coal, oil, or gas. Wheelabrator is one company that does this. Covanta is another. The some problems are, it needs a steady stream of waste to burn, the waste stream backs up when the plant is not running, the smell around the facility is that of a dump or landfill. It is a great way to get rid of waste.

meanwhile neighborhood countries only study but never learn anything

awesome.....filtering the toxic smoke out..thats the best bit....burn plastic you get black poisonous smoke...

This is something every country needs, especially America, Europe and India

Waste combustion is particularly popular in countries such as Japan, Singapore and the Netherlands, where land is a scarce resource. Denmark and Sweden have been leaders by using the energy generated from incineration for more than a century, in localised combined heat and power facilities supporting district heating schemes.

And its damn hot here especially with no winter or snow, the heat can be unbearable sometimes. Its still an amazing place here.

"Protesting without harm to others" if you impede traffic and shut down the economy and essential services you ARE harming others. Singapore does allow protesting, in a little park where you are free to protest without disrupting anyone, and everyone should be able to not have their lives be disrupted by you.
