UWC Dover Food Waste into Energy

We have recently begun an innovative pilot project with Singapore's National Environment Agency to collect food waste on Dover Campus.
Instead of being sent for incineration and landfill the waste is taken for Biodigestion and conversion to Biogas Energy at an experimental plant at Ulu Pandan.
Contamination of the bins by other recyclables, wrappings etc puts the project at serious risk as the Biodigester will malfunction.

Please help us by disposing of any food scraps from your lunch in the red bins shown in the video.

And remember to put your yakult containers, juice and milo boxes, P.E.T plastic bottles in the light blue recycling bins.
If we are successful, this pilot project may be rolled out across Singapore...so many thanks for helping us make UWCSEA a leader in Sustainable Development.
