In the article “Parliament: Singapore looks to create Newoil by transforming waste plastic into alternative fuel,” Liu (2020) highlights how Singapore uses the different methods of recycling waste to move closer towards being a zero-waste nation. Liu notes that Singapore ambitiously wants to generate Newoil, by using plastic waste to create pyrolysis oil, which can replace fossil fuel. Singapore is looking at developing its chemical recycling industry and establishing a pilot plant for this. Liu also mentions that National Environment Agency (NEA) would implement a deposit refund scheme by 2022 to encourage recycling. Producers and retailers of packaged products need to submit packaging data annually to NEA to reduce amount of waste sent to Semakau Landfill.
