In the article “Parliament:Singapore looks to create Newoil by transforming waste plastic into alternative fuel,” Liu.V highlights how Singapore struggles to manage its waste, discussing the different methods of recycling waste to move closer towards being a zero-waste nation. The article notes that Singapore wants to generate Newoil, a chemical process which transforms plastic waste into pyrolysis oil- a potential replacement for the fossil fuel petroleum. To improve the recycling rate of packaging waste, National Environment Agency will implement deposit refund scheme by 2022 to motivate consumers to return used beverage containers such as PET bottles and receive reimbursement. To lessen the amount of waste sent to Semakau Landfill, producers and retailers of packaged products need to record and submit the amount of packaging used to National Environment Agency. Also, they need to plan how to reduce, reuse and recycle the packaging waste. Newsand is processed construction mat...

          According to Liu, V. (2020, March 4). Parliament: S'Pore looks to create Newoil by transforming waste plastic into alternative fuel.  The Straits Times .   Singapore studies creating Newoil by converting waste plastic into alternative fuel. Newoil will give discarded plastic new purpose in the form of pyrolysis oil as Singapore faces difficulties in managing its mountain of plastic waste as only 4 per cent of the 949,300 tonnes of it has been recycled in 2018. Currently, only mechanical recycling and chemical recycling are used to recycle plastic. Packaging waste has high generation and low recycling rate. As the amount increases, Singapore needs to find ways to manage packaging waste more sustainably. National Environment Agency will initiate a deposit refund scheme to encourage recycling for beverage containers. If Newoil is successful, Singapore wil...

 Dear Professor Brad, My name is Zahid Bin Mohamad Noor Azrin, and I am writing to introduce myself to you as a Year 1 student in your Effective Communication class. I graduated from Temasek Polytechnic with a diploma in Green Building & Sustainability. After graduating, I decided to pursue Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering (Building Services) in Singapore Institute of Technology as I developed an interest in how buildings contribute to global warming and I believe that as a future engineer, I will have the opportunity to make a difference in the world through a positive impact to the building industry. The strength I observed myself having in communication is teamwork. I have worked with numerous teams during my internship at Johnson Controls where I had to assist the engineers with the on-site inspection and troubleshooting of chillers in buildings. This experience have shown me how to handle the on-site duties and explain to the client what is to be done in a simplified...

 Read the excerpt below, taken from Pearson’s TalentLens website, and respond in writing to this prompt. How do you see communication and critical thinking impacting your future role as a leader in the workplace. (150-200 words) I believe communication and critical thinking is crucial in impacting my future role as a leader in the workplace.  Currently, the cost of poor communications in organisations is very high and the cost of it in the US and UK business was estimated at US$37 billion as stated in a 2008 whitepaper by IDC . This is a lot of money lost by businesses due to lack of effective communication. I believe that the cost of effective communication can be reduced and eventually minimised if leaders implement effective communication skills to their organisations. Another whitepaper from the Project Management Institute's Pulse research reveals that the most crucial success factor in project management is effective communications to all the stakeholders. With this inf...

 Debra Kraft states that all engineers should possess good communication skills, however, global engineers encounter further challenges such as effective communication. It is crucial for global engineers to be equipped with effective communication in order to collaborate well with their teams which comes from different nationalities and backgrounds to fulfil their goals.
