Presenting Giving.sg’s Greenest Infographic article ever: we highlight some facts about Singapore’s addiction with plastics and the journey of trash to treasure
P.S. Plastics under the categories “Polystyrene” and “Others” are not recyclable so dispose them as general waste or drop them at designated collection points around Singapore depending on the specific item type. For more information check out this guide.
There are several e-waste points all around the island, click here for the full list of locations.
