Waste Management and Recycling Association of Singapore (WMRAS), in collaboration with the National Environment Agency (NEA), NTUC LearningHub (NTUC LHUB), and Republic Polytechnic (RP), is introducing a new Zero Waste Manager course in 2024. This course aims to equip companies and organizations with the necessary tools to minimize waste generation. By embracing this course, businesses can enhance their resource efficiency, reduce costs, and elevate their corporate social responsibility efforts.

Singapore’s inaugural Zero Waste Masterplan maps out Singapore’s key strategies to build a sustainable, resource-efficient and climate-resilient nation. This includes adopting a circular economy approach to waste and resource management practices, and shifting towards more sustainable production and consumption. The Government aims to improve Singapore's overall recycling rate by 2030. The inaugural Zero Waste Masterplan was launched in 2019, and set an additional target to reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill each day by 30% by 2030.

Go Green SG is led by the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE). It is a national sustainability movement to rally the community to take collective action for a cleaner and greener Singapore. Go Green SG 2024 will run from 12 June to 14 July 2024.
