The Great Singapore Plastic Problem underscores the pervasive issue of plastic pollution in the city-state, posing significant environmental and ecological challenges.

Despite efforts to promote recycling and reduce single-use plastics, Singapore continues to grapple with high levels of plastic waste generation, impacting marine life, terrestrial ecosystems, and public health.

Discover the grim truth behind their decomposition timelines: glass - 1 million years, plastic - up to 1000 years, aluminum cans - up to 500 years.

Let's combat these foes to secure a greener future!

Marine litter comprises a variety of debris, including plastic bottles, fishing nets, and microplastics, which contaminate oceanic environments.

These pollutants pose grave threats to marine life, ecosystems, and human health, underscoring the urgent need for ocean conservation efforts.

Fossil-based plastics contribute to environmental pollution, releasing harmful chemicals and microplastics that can contaminate food and water sources, posing risks to human health. Additionally, the production and incineration of these plastics release toxic emissions that can lead to respiratory issues and other health concerns for nearby communities.

Fossil-based plastics hastens environmental degradation, staying in landfills and oceans for years, endangering our ecosystem. Their production also emits greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change and threaten global biodiversity.

Burning plastic is highly hazardous, impacting human health and the environment. It releases greenhouse gases, black soot disrupting neuro-development and causes causes metabolic disorder to living things and harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide, dioxins and furans, linked to cancer, fertility issues, and health problems.
