This is called real waste management
For California State, there are new laws regarding to "trash management" where they would have employees from Burrect Trash companies to physically inspect trash bins of residents and give out citations to those who put the trashes in the wrong bins 😂😅..This is California State ways of trash management, alright 🤣👍😂..
The real trash management starts before the garbage is formed.
No it isnt. Singapore has nowhere to put their trash thats why they incinerate it and incinerating trash as a way of disposal is very expensive.
go search singapore population 😂😂 avg internet intellectual😂
Circular Economy
All developed nations should have this approach towards zero waste.
people are so dumb, as an engineer, burning trash is MUCH MORE HARMFUL than dumping it somewhere and leaving it there
Singapore is a city that is a country, they dont have any land thats why they can't just dump it everywhere
This is not the complete story. Singapore secretly dumps their trash in other countries.
But how would we get the FDA Recommended dose of micro plastics in our food?
So called zero waste is heating up earth look at Asia this week its outa control humans are a heat engine
Really? Recycling is far more green than incinerating for energy. That should be last resort. Singapore is very advanced in some areas but less so in others. Most people live in condos and do not have the option is recycle hence why it is incinerated but it is by no means a model to copy. Before you flame me I’m a westerner that resided in Singapore for 5 years.
My Father in law work for years in NYC Sanitation Department incinerator and I would ask him why doesn’t the City use the heat from the incinerator to generate electricity and he was always told that Con Edison would not let the city generate its own electricity! Finally the city closed all the incinerators and ConEdison has a monopoly on electricity! How’s that for a Kick in the Pants!
Sadly, this sounds so true of Amerincan corporations
100%
That is insane!
Just another day in America, just like how Ford lobbied the entire metro train system away just so people are forced to buy cars
This is why we are backwards as human beings. We are obsessed and driven by money
I lived in Singapore for 7 years . I have never seen a city so clean and safe.
you obviously haven't been to Japan, NZ or Switzerland. The cities there are super clean as well.

Singaporean here. Yes, we have such waste-to-energy (WTE) plants but i wouldnt say it's "zero trash". Excess incineration ash n non-incineratable trash is sent to Semakau landfill. Our one and only landfill (and it's running out of space). Interesting fact: it's green and lush for a landfill. Can't disregard the effort of our govt, so really proud of this initiative!
Super Singapore 💗💗💗
Those days Pulau Semakau(Semakau island) is a nice island which the people of the island had to move to mainland Singapore in the 70s.
People of semakau island was a fisher man to earn a living. Those were the days
Thank you for the knowledge! Singaporean myself but never knew this
@@hypnicjerk7696 what's there to doubt 🤡🤡🤡
Landfills aren't usually desolate wastes, you dig up a spot, bury the trash, cover it up, and then plants will grow back in time. You don't just constantly dig up the same spot you already filled, if you could landfills wouldn't run out of space.
This needs to be the standard of every city 🎉
It's so cute that you don't know that EVERY COUNTRY does this. The problem is that the gas is not "super clean" and the "new sand" is just burnt garbage and still has all the plastic and metals in it. Ignorance is bliss, I guess...
This is nothing new. 🤣🤣
Yes but we have lost Detroit.
We do this almost 40 years..We import garbage.

Meanwhile in Michigan I have to scrub my glass jars until they sparkle before I recycle them- just to have them tell me “we don’t recycle glass”…

We have done this in Sweden since forever, however the heat warms up water that we use as our hot water and to warm up our houses in the winter and we are unfortunately so good at recycling too that we had to buy garbage from other countries😂
Surprised your country couldn't negotiate getting it for free or have someone pay you to take it
No way
I’m guessing you just paying for shipping
You can come and picked trash in Philippine land fields for free 😊
@@mikej9470they r competing with other countries and facilities. Garbage is a business
Thank you very much for showing this to see what things are like in other parts of the world. We have so much to learn from other countries
The chambers are cleaned and repaired around once every few months and usually are off for like a few days then so not they dont run 24/7 356.
Don't forget--they also have very strict laws regarding littering and waste! For being such a small island nation, it's super important to keep the coastline clean!
unfortunately singapore is 0.016% of south east asia let alone the whole world. more countries need to be on board with this
Republicans would call this “woke” if America tried it
they keep SG clean but making a mess in others

Singaporean here. The ashes from the trash incineration is shipped by barged to a trash island called Semakau island where it's dumped into a reservoir in the middle of the island until it's completely filled around 2050. The govt hopes to slow down this deadline by other means.
Despite the waste being put at the island warehouse, there's actually no smell.
Also, the island is gorgeous despite it's purpose.
Source: I attended a guided tour there.
Have you looked at the spec info on the “ toxic “ gas filtration system? I’m curious to how effective it is, and what sort of “ standard “ is being called “ safe “
I went too with my students…. They planned to built resorts or houses on the island once the cells are all filled up and the land is stable… at Pulau Semakau, they have a 3 rings mangrove system around the island to detect water pollution from the ashes they used to filled up the cells… so they can react quickly if the first ring of mangrove starts to die…
If this is real it's friggin AWESOME

In case you're wondering; Singapore does this due to extreme land limitations. It is very smart for their specific situation, but wouldn't work everywhere. Burning trash creates horrendous pollution that is very expensive to mitigate. Doable in Singapore for a cost (Singapore is uber expensive to live in for many reasons, this is one of them), not so feasible in most places.
Correct
Singapore isn't Uber expensive to live in - it only becomes Uber expensive when you consider three primary cost drivers: homes by sqfoot, rental prices (if necessary), and cars. Someone earning 2.5k SGD in Singapore could live a very comfortable life as long as they live with their parents (which Asians do much longer than western societies anyway), and choose not to drive (our public transport is highly efficient and our country is small).
Anyway I digress - this particular process isn't a significant cost driver for us. Neither is any other basic necessity such as water, food, medicine etc, despite many of these things relying on highly efficient and technically expensive processes. We also have relatively, perhaps even extremely, low taxes.
The problem with a lot of these reports talking about Singaporean cost of living or is being an "expensive country" is that they take a relative position against a western standard of living, such as having a car or living in a suburban two or three story home with a garage - all of which are completely irrelevant to having a good and comfortable life Singapore.
Duh I think everyone knows this already and Singapore is a shell country aka tax shelter also. But wealthy countries can do this and have better solutions for the after effects of ashes and pollution . It is about money though
You replied seriously😂😂😂
So the filtering part is a lie, right? Because it says the air comes out "super" clean, so the video is bait, right?
Singapore is really an amazing country in a lot of ways, not only do they have a great waste management system but their healthcare system is genuinely world-class for its citizens (not free but very affordable with major operations heavily subsidized). Not to mention in general the country comparably very safe, economically stable with a good job market, and its government is fairly agile when it comes to addressing issues and policy improvements.
What an intellectual genius. Well done xx
This is actually very smart. Good on Singapore for taking a problem and coming up with a solution that can help everyone and solve numerous other problems at the same time
This isn't a unique mehod to Singapore
This is literally the worst way to do it
Did no one explain to them there are jungles where it could be dumped???? (spoiler alert. that's called satire)
That said, I really don't want to know what the CO2 waste look like. Singapore currently has higher emissions per capita than China, so this probably isn't something that should be adopted by bigger countries.
India all want this in this new generation
Most counties probably could do this as well but when there’s corruption, money is filtered under the table for their own interest which prevents quality actions like this.
People are paid to continue a problem not fix it, otherwise they'd lose their jobs. That's one of the biggest issues when facing certain problems.
It’s called unions. Always want a cut of the pie. There no Boy Scouts.
Yup it's called good infrastructure. Rich people don't care about that because they want all the money!
Most countries already do this, it's called waste management. 🤦
The countries that use trillions of dollars for war can't even do this 😂
Ive always thought we should do that..and to see a country actually implementing an idea ive had in my head for years is amazing
Awesome! I wish other countries could emulate this! Especially my country Kenya.
"In Singapore, there is no trash-" , yall havent met our Karens
Completely agree.
They act like trash in SG, they act like shit in MY. 😭😭
that's good
😂😂😂
What Karen's mean 🤔🤔
In the Netherlands we also have a system like this. Almost 100% of iron gets separated out and close to 80% of all aluminum. All plastic packaging gets recognized by AI camera's who know what type of plastic it is. Better than human separation. The remainder gets burned and filtered. The ashes that contain heavy metals and other toxics are poured into concrete. But that is only a negligible amount compared to the input of the process. I guess Singapore has a similar process.
My best guess is that the numbers are inflated by a lot.
We, the Dutch, sell waste (PFAS) to Belgium so they can dump it in the river that takes it back to us.
Now that is waste management...
Also we import insane amounts of lumber to heat our country and call that a good idea.
Nah, we here fuck it up like everyone else in the world, but we got some pretty statistics.
Singapore is ahead of us in some ways but we are to look for producing less waste instead of looking for how to get rid of it in the first place
Very good
Can this be learnt for the betterment of my country
But we pay a shit ton in waste taxes for this shit
@@super_caprice2416taxes are probably better than the alternative, although I hate paying taxes as well. Taxes are probably the lessor of the two evils, as long as they actually go towards the intended cause.

Many countries have found out landfills are not the future. In Denmark we also burn the trash to get heat and electricity
Same for Austria.
Landfill makes soil bad and make the space hell
They do that in China too.
By the way, that night city view shown is not Singapore.
That's the city of Shenzhen in China 🇨🇳
It's even possible to take this a step further and make use of the combustion products for chemical purposes. It's a very costly and complicated setup, but with special catalysts you can turn a few gaseous compounds into incredibly diverse building blocks
Here in Christchurch the local council can’t even fix a pothole properly 🤣
to the ppl asking where the NEWsand goes, it goes to pulau semakau, an island that contains specialised treated water. the island is just an outline, and now most of the water is already land. the ash is dumped into the water that is within the island, where it then fills, thus forming an island.
just google pulau semakau if you want to know more
(and pulau semakau is south of Singapore)
How about the exhaust? Seems unsustainable. This is on a small scale, don't think real cities can implement it.
What about the toxic chemicals that were on the filters?
It goes to a landfill based at the island and does not form a useable part of the island. Access to humans is strictly off limits due to the hazardous sand produced from this process.
Tests are underway for possible repurpose of the sand but not finalised yet as lots of treatment processes will be needed to make it safe for use. The only thing to change is metal recovery to date.
@@meta5291 the exhausts are actually filtering out the entire country's trash every day, and the scale is fairly big, so it does work
@@mattyjohnson2860if im not wrong the ash forms the bottom of the island (like the base), and then soil and other materials are put on top to form the island.
if u see the pics of semakau last time compared to now, u can see how the parts filled by the ash is now actual land
When my government collects "carbon taxes". This is what I expect them to do with the money not filling their pockets.

Singapore is amazing and it has always been my favourite country ever since I was a kid! I have been there in 2013
Years back. I approached our rubbish company. My company had a water furnace that burns trash totally clean and produces energy for the community. They laughed at me!!!
Did you show them the cost? There is no such thing as totally clean. No wonder they laughed at you.
Totally clean is a joke
Dam guy chill 💀💀
You know why they laughed at you
What a shame
This is one of the ways forward! This system ticks all the boxes, super efficient, and a great example of how to do things.
Be sceptical of the "super cleanness" of that incineration.
You can only place these facilities far away from people in areas that are already polluted.
Except they're still just burning the limited fossil fuels and plastics that the modern world completely depends on. Once all that plastic is gone we're done. Probably shouldn't be burning it if it's possible to perpetually recycle.
None of it matters if we can’t afford it
its not super efficient. Get some of your rubbish and see how much you have to burn just to cook your dinner.
Its inefficient and ultimately unsustainable. It also encourages all sorts of terrible things to be used and go into the rubbish. But its singapore - question this and you go to prison.
We might have to afford this 😮
WOWZER…on another level!! Bravo 👏🏼
Florida alone has 5 times the population of Singapore, I'd be a nightmare for drivers. And imagine the amount of fuuel is needed.
nightmare for drivers to pick up the trash? cause putting it in a landfill is easier than a incinerator? or what

Hahaha they're the biggest set of racist robots out there 🤣🤣🤣
this is pretty common practice in the netherlands too. As a major food exporter, some waste plants even inject the produced CO2 into greenhouses for the plants

My father managed a lot of recycling plants when I was little. I grew up wanting to build waste to energy( WTE )plants but using anaerobic pyrolosis to help create syngas and slag. While it can be expensive. You can sell the slag, syngas,and clean water as byproducts. Incineration is actually very bad for the environment while pyrolisis is a closed system that recirculates the gasses created to run its plasma torches that heat at 4-7k degrees.
maybe the return is not enough for maintainance cost? or maybe ship them to china is more cost effective?
@@jakkrit6910so China can take a dump it into the ocean like it has been?
That's really interesting, thanks
You can actually create a pyrolysis plant in your backyard is not that hard, but also not as efficient when trying to separate the bi-product
That's really cool. I work at a startup developing a CH4->H2 pyrolysis setup. Syngas would be a great alternative to the methane we ordinarily use, and make the end product hydrogen even less CO2 intensive
I visited Singapore several years ago. It was so cleaned. I was so impressed and in awe.
Yup - Singapore does NOT play. The punishment there are VERY severe, Draconian, even for littering. You are talking prison time and caning! Had a colleague living there years ago, and there were sensors on the elevator floor so folks dont spit or urinate on the floor, etc. Well a guy in an elevator he shared accidentally spilled his coffee, setting off the sensors. He said by the time they hit the lobby, there were already two policemen waiting to arrest him. Naturally when it was explained it was an accident, everything was fine. But no they do NOT play. It is the very definition of FAFO LOL. I heard it is beautiful and very clean there.
The problem with this method is that those tiles will cost so much energy in the future to turn back into other items, but hopefully we will have achieved a dyson sphere by then.
This is all the more impressive being situated one of most congested corners of earth, her neighbors should learn from such ingenuity.

No littering either. They used to use caning to "persuade" the person to keep breaking the law. it works.

Trash Incineration and Climate Change: Debunking EPA Misinformation. Trash incineration is incredibly bad for the climate, releasing 2.5 times as much carbon dioxide CO2 to make the same amount of electricity as a coal power plant.
This is the power of China. Singapore is such a futuristic chinese city
Waste combustion is particularly popular in countries such as Japan, Singapore and the Netherlands, where land is a scarce resource. Denmark and Sweden have been leaders by using the energy generated from incineration for more than a century, in localised combined heat and power facilities supporting district heating schemes.
In Japan, tho, most of it gets shipped to poor countries.
The most important is it cleans the air out of that fire trash so it can't cause pollution 👏👏👏

Been there last week. What a country!!! Whole world can learn from Singapore.
It's got a dark side.
Don't chew gum

Every country got a dark side.
But not every country could prosper in spite of it.
@@RonLarhz Like all utopias they have an extreme slum situation with many in poverty, people in their 70s or 80s working hard jobs to make a living, serious restrictions on free speech and assemble, even when a protest doesn't harm anyone around, sexist CMT and a very harsh justice system that is not always about "innocent until proven guilty" or is more about controlling the population, and I don't meant the graffiti thing and that started as a way of stopping political protest.
Basically, it's a bit like Midgar from Final Fantasy 7.
@@TheGroundedAviatoryou act as if none of that exists in the US, there are plenty of old people unable to retire, slum? Sure, if you consider most of the US population living in an enlarged kid's arts and craft project considering most of the houses are essentially made of paper, justice system that is not "innocent until proven guilty" have you never seen false rape allegations?, freedom of speech isnt considered as important in other cultures, dont impose your own values on others.
"Protesting without harm to others" if you impede traffic and shut down the economy and essential services you ARE harming others. Singapore does allow protesting, in a little park where you are free to protest without disrupting anyone, and everyone should be able to not have their lives be disrupted by you.
Freedom of speech has done nothing for the US, poor education, high crime rates, high murder rate, poor public infrastructure, poor representation, open corruption through "lobbying", what has freedom of speech even brought about that is worth mentioning? I have no idea why americans are so proud of it when it literally does nothing, its like a kid who shows off a participation trophy.
On Grand Rapids Michigan, we have an incinerator that burns trash 24 hours a day and the heat generated makes electricity and heats all the large buildings in the downtown of the city.
And you all still can’t get clean water 😂

My lecture was always recommending that this should be done.
Singapore was easily the most beautiful cleanest and respectful place I have ever been. I don't think I have ever felt more safe at any hour on the street
They are living on the future... 1000 years ahead from rest of the planet..
If only rest countries could open eyes and learn from them🙏
Every countries should adopt this process
this is what Australia people protested against so we don't have one - sad, Canada has several also
Can't do that. The politicians didn't get money if this thing/project becames real.
All them healthy emissions lol
What process? Never heard of it!
@GoodMrDawes waste to energy is one process. The garbage is used as fuel instead of coal, oil, or gas. Wheelabrator is one company that does this. Covanta is another. The some problems are, it needs a steady stream of waste to burn, the waste stream backs up when the plant is not running, the smell around the facility is that of a dump or landfill. It is a great way to get rid of waste.

the ressources wasted in this process are forever gone .. and people love it
In this video: "There is no trash."
Also in this video: "Everyday 2400 trucks collect all the trash."
wow! Truly amazing!
