Release time:2026-07-09

The author:BCRC China

On June 16, Singapore launched its first national research centre dedicated to residue and toxic industrial waste management as the city-state seeks to extend the  lifespan of its only landfill site. Jointly established by the NEA and Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the centre will receive S$35 million in funding under Singapore’s Research, Innovation and Enterprise 2025 programme. The centre would help recover value from complex waste streams and support efforts to transform Semakau Landfill from a waste disposal site into a future resource recovery hub.
