‘Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle’ is a phrase that is familiar to many. This slogan plays a crucial role in spreading the importance of reducing waste by reducing the amount of waste created, reusing items that could have a future purpose, and recycling waste into useful products.
This widespread notion of 3Rs is part of the NEA’s strategies in promoting waste minimization and recycling practices in Singapore. Today, the 3R program not only targets good recycling habits in schools, homes, and offices, but extends to hotels, supermarkets, shopping malls, as well as industrial developments. 3R Guidebooks are published by NEA to provide a comprehensive guideline to promote recycling and waste minimization in those sectors.
