The problem is not plastic, but the way plastic is being used.
Currently, only 4% of all plastics in Singapore get recycled. This means that most plastics are incinerated after just a one-time use, losing 95% of its material value. It also worsens pollution, as incineration and even recycling processes emit greenhouse gases.
That’s why we all need to do our part to extend the lifespan of plastics beyond one single use.
