Singapore make very useful system & rapid releasing as daily basis.Keep continuing
Well done Singapore
Its just awesome how you handle your garbage and able to manage all this in a ecofriendly way.
I love Singapore 😊😊
Hello. I am in this business. Read this please: By pure combustion the toxins are not bound and what about CO2? Both can be captured with high tech filters. But what happens with the filters that are highly toxic after use? It is hazardous waste, where to put it? Rain and wind will gradually wash the toxins out of the earth and release them into the air and water.
Singapore is without doubt a pioneer in environmental protection, but there are better solutions. For example, our plants that produce pellets from waste that are free of toxins and emit 70% less CO2.
Wow, handsome 🤩🤩🤩 reporter's doing science topic also amazing awesome 👍😍❤️ fantastic marvellous handsome and very professional ❤️😍🥰 too.
SINGAPORE CAN DO THE RIGHT THING . GOD BLESS SINGAPORE
*Producing tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air and toxins into the land and sea.* Yet, generating more waste every year.
Look America
The cool kids are doing you should totally show them up
Please do more videos like these... Tekong reclaimation, Tuas mega port .... etc etc.
nice name
What a planning..👏👏👏
Hopefully we can launch in Singapore soon!
This is really nice!
Good job, Singapore!
Why don’t all countries do this (or at least HIC which are able to afford this)
Best way to treat garbage
I'm not completely convinced that these toxic ashes in the sea are safe. But otherwise: way to go, Singapore!!
They are not disposed at the sea. They are disposed at waters which could never touch the seas. Which means that it is forever hidden from everyone, dissolved in the water that no one will need to worry about because it is made specifically for ashes.
6:38 Where can I get the tiny green dumpster on his desk? It's so cute!
idk
I like his garbage toy at 7:00
Well I needed this for my resarch for my rubbish homework ( *What I mean by "rubbish" is that my homework is abot rubbish not the homework is rubbish* )
3rd highest population density equals to more tax funding per Sq kilometre than most . Singapore should be capable of more promising technology for sustainable development
Can confirm. Government is already building buildings which can float on water for at least a hundred years with at least 50 levels high, it should be around 100-150 meters in height.
recently a Canadian company Ashcrete Technologies have successfully created concrete from incinerator ash (65% incinerator ash + 22% cement). This may not only solution for landfill shortage, but to ended the sand and gravel mining.
Well done
In covid19 what is your waste management for mask from public PPE kits from hospital ?
Wow, now I know rubbish also can created to electric. Tq handsome 🤩🤩🤩 reporter's. See so sitting at the MRT trunk below area. For gathering. After gathering never take away the rubbish so angry. Made Our's Singapore environment so dirty. Luckily we got re-cycle company also coming to cleaning up. If not the plastic bag bird 🐦 coming head stuck inside how. So is long life's 🐦 and if flying up to MRT maybe will cause another accident too. Actually LTA officers should set a sign don't let's people sitting below the mrt railway 🚂
i dont know, I live is Singapore and the news definitely tries to make it seem like a very clean country. I see trash everywhere.
I always try to tell my family to recycle but they always dont budge, how can i convince them, aby solutions?
0:20 why is he talking to bin at the first plce?
WOW. Despite Singapore having high labor cost it has really high recycling rate. Comparing to many western countries, labor is cost slightly lower and much higher income taxes than Singapore recycling rate at 0%.
You think singapore has high labour cost?
@@genuinelyjag LOL
Because general rubbish often contains various low-grade plastics, waste incineration produces a lot of thick, black smoke that contains all sorts of toxic fumes. When the fumes are cleaned up, you get an extremely toxic sludge that must be disposed of in designated hazardous waste landfills. With no such landfills in Singapore, what do they do with their air pollution control residue?
They are generated into electricity bro
What happens to green house gases from burner?
Thank you my MP amy khor
Amazing. How do they manage the co2 from burning? Do they recycle it somehow?
Same question rised in my mind.
@@UshaDevi-di5li the burning is then converted to electricity
Grow more trees
There is a chimney which cleanses the toxic smoke and it produces air better than the last. The toxic smoke generates into electricity. Fun right?
Got ALBA re-cycle company too
I have a question, when they burn the trash, what happens to the smoke emitted by the incinerator?
it is filtered and clean air is coming out
@@zoltanlakatos6623 thank you sir for your response.
@@kingemorej4035 no problem
Jasmine Collins but they just said in the video that when it’s full they turn it into land so how is the water clean if they are just putting land over it? They wouldn’t need to do that if the toxins would just degrade and disappear
@@biancamaccagnan5771 and what is the problem if they put land over it?The water will still remain clean because the soil will sink to the bottom no?
WOW
Handsome boy boy 😍😍🤩 reporter's. They said the country than got flooding is they cut away too many 🌲 and do building 🏢. 🌲 and grass will absorb raining water 💦💧💧 and go back to the ground. So cut away. The rain 🌧️🌧️🌧️ not where to go sure will suck the residents 🏠. And infrastructure of big drain must do to and have life saving tryre. Next topic maybe you can teaching us. It is really or not. When you get the accurate information. Tq very much
how does Singapore recycle process work, we collect recyclable waste then what happens next? how many recycling plants do we have to process these wastes or do we export to China or other countries like Canada and Australia? They are called out for send non recyclables recently.
The recyclables are supposed to be made into new things. Trash are burnt into ashes and a chimney will cleanse the air even better than it was before. Toxic smoke generates into electricity and she's will be dumped at the waters separated from the sea.
INCINERATED PROCESS, HOW ARE TOXIC EXHAUST GASES FILTERED WITH BEFORE HITTING ATMOSPHERE?
big chimneys
Chimney will cleanse air and the toxic fumes generates into electricity
Q: y need combin 7 island 🤔
how does burning 7800 tonnes / 8443 tonnes daily equate to a recycling rate of 61%?
i think they recycle 61% of their garbage, then burn the 40%
@@Yeet-cj7sx 39*
How do you handle the toxic smoke after burning all that waste??
There is a chimney at the red and white buildings, it cleanses the toxic smoke.
When incinerator burn the rubbish directly, it will produce dioxin and furan. As incineration is done under oxygen rich condition.
The only way to change dixion and furan is by secondary burning zone to raise the temperature even higher at 1200-1500°C.
Best of all, dioxin and furan can be produced and can't be destroyed.
The flue gas needs to be cooled down before released to the atmosphere, usually a waste heat boiler will be installed and generate high pressure steam to run generators.
Which we know by the name of "Waste to Energy".
So replace the ocean with green space ???
i mean its better than replacing it with garbage! dont you agree?
Well done Singapore, not only you recycle our pee to drink, you recycle our garbage to expand more land.
Where can I buy that mini trash toy
We all know but i will just watch
in,..
I hope they can start getting the retailer to stop giving out so much plastic bags and start charging customer.
Well it happened. For like 2 months lol
bruh my teacher want me to watch this
mine to
Just wondering...... perhaps............ dig out the area that was filled...... and throw all that extra soil that's considered already good enough, create a hill on that pulau? Worry when we really got out of space... wonder what's the plan next... where can we put our trash hmm....
just make it into a land if Singapore small. You can make it bigger
CO2 & methane?
they have a filer system
FILTERED
5:18 one of the factor contributed to the sea level rising
Can you explain the logic behind the sea level rising due to such measures?
Much better than India!!
What about the aquatic life in Semakau Landfill?? Don't it harm the aquatic animals and plants when you dump ash into it?? Plz reply my question.
th-cam.com/video/S0btjPhOB_E/w-d-xo.html
Oh,yeah..thanks for reminding me.
What about organic waste there?
(It's still waste)
My one question is wouldn’t the burning of the trash create air pollution
Alexsia Morales Singapore is producing even cleaner air by a different process. So basically the trash gets burned and gets filtered really well
the air that comes out of the chimney is cleaner than fart
@@kushalshrestha9247 it's cleaner than the air around it
Plus the toxic fumes are generated as electricity
Of course its our land fill
If u keep up with our current waste
In 2035 our landfill with be full
Recycling ! Common sense ! Just know how to get done naturally and humanly uncorrupted !.
Is incinerated ash really toxic I see some fellas making bricks from incinerated ash 🙄🙄
Ask them who they're trying kill lol
Burning the waste is not the solution ,recycling is , and also reduce the amount of waste
no dude they are even filtering the toxic gas emmited on burning, so this is the best way that is possible
Agreed, I think banning plastic entirely in the next 10 years is a must, corporations that produce plastic bottles and stuff should be stopped, plastic bottles are the 1 thing we have found everywhere during cleaning drives.
And also use that ash to make roads, buildings, bricks etc dont throw the remaining ashes in sea
Why roads and buildings? first of all they need lands so they are using these ashes for creating islands Good job.
Always known that trash went into a system but so weird to see the actual process, like bro this is the giant hand scooping up your poop. And so heartbreaking to see the scale: Singapore is so tiny, how much are places like India producing daily? 🤯💔
SO TINY YES BUT HAS 3RD HIGHEST POPULATION DENSITY WHICH MEANS WAY MORE TAX MONEY AVAILABLE PER SQUARE KILOMETRE THAN ALL COUNTRIES. WELL DONE THOUGH
Are you sure Singapore is trying to go zero waste?? Ppl here still crazy about their plastic bag and single use plastic. Grocery stores give away free plastic bag and consumers use it like no tomorrow!!!! This is really frustrating !
Send letters to your representatives so they can start a law about plastics. Things can be done if people care enough.
Plastic bags have a different story. In a perfect situation where all thrash ends in the rubbish bins and eventually to the incinerator, it can be controlled. but the truth is not all 100% trash with plastic bags ends up in the bin and eventually in the incinerators. Some are littered and somehow manged to end up in drains and our seas. That is where the problem with plastic bags come. Also not forgetting those purposely dumped into the sea.
@@Unteroffizier not dumped in sea bc there are specific waters made for trash which is separated from sea and everyone, no singapore not stupid lol
ok
There’s a problem. Chinese ships are sucking up sea beds to make man made island in southern sea. Don’t tell me Chinese ships can’t suck sand near Singapore. Because the two governments are in a very agreeable relationship.
Who saw the half swastika at 4:18
that's Pasir Panjang Terminal, a port in the southern region of Singapore
To burn anything but hydrogen and oxygen is to waste a resource.
These plants are extremely expensive and can cost more to run than the power they produce is worth.
Where do the pollutants from the chimney scrubbers get dumped. What happens to the contaminated water on the landfill island from all the tropical rain?
mate people are trying to find solutions, be part of the solution not the problem.
@@fabrizziodasso1878 Have heaps solar power, an electric car, grow and raise most of our own food, aim for zero waste.
Pyrolysis might be a better way to process waste plastic. The best solution is not to use it in the first place.
@@andrewradford3953 Singapore dont have enough space for solar power.
@@Xeryun Australian entrepreneur is planning to export solar power from a huge solar array to Singapore via undersea cable.
kkl
Did you guys just copy Nas daily about trash in Singapore?!
no nas daily did it first
@@angbenyi6618 which is... this guy's point.
