As one of the most advanced and densely populated city-states in the world, Singapore has long grappled with the challenge of waste management. But in recent years, a new focus has emerged: single-use plastics, particularly in takeaway and to-go food packaging<\/a>. From plastic bags to disposable containers, the country is tightening regulations and shifting its public mindset.<\/p>\n

The shift began in earnest in July 2023<\/strong>, when all supermarkets larger than 2,000 square meters were required to charge at least 5 cents per plastic bag. But this was just the start.<\/p>\n

The NEA\u2019s ongoing public consultation on single-use item management<\/strong> aims to target a broader range of plastic products, especially those used in food delivery and takeout services. Among the top targets:<\/p>\n
