Zero Waste Industries

In 2022, about 7.39 million tonnes of solid waste were generated and this is expected to increase to 11 million tonnes by 2035. The Semakau Landfill, Singapore's only landfill, is expected to reach its maximum capacity by 2035. The increase in waste coupled with low recycling rates point to the urgent need for collective action to address Singapore’s waste problem. A collective action will contribute towards Singapore’s Zero Waste Masterplan by reducing the waste generated by the Jurong Innovation District estate. 

The Open category calls for startups, SMEs, IHLs and RIs to collaborate and submit proposals that co-develop and testbed your innovative solutions with JID tenants & lessees for zero waste industries. 

Possible solutions for this theme include but are not limited to:

i. Innovative solutions to reduce waste generated

ii. Innovative ways to recycle or upcycle waste

You may submit your proposals after the briefing sessions. You will have up to 18 Oct 16:00pm (Singapore time, GMT +8) to submit your proposals. Please use the provided proposal submission form to submit your proposals.
