Resource Sustainability Act 2019.

This Act is enacted to impose obligations relating to the collection and treatment of electrical and electronic waste and food waste, to require reporting of packaging imported into or used in Singapore, to regulate persons operating producer responsibility schemes, and to promote resource sustainability.
The Resource Sustainability Act is a law that will help Singapore to become more sustainable by introducing guidelines to reduce and recycle the waste. To effectively cut down on waste, the Act targets three main waste streams that are likely to cause the most problems in the future: e-waste, packaging waste, and food waste. The Resource Sustainability Act targets manufacturers and retailers of e-waste, or unwanted electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) in charge of the recycling of their products in 3 ways. First, all EEE producers have to register with the National Environmental Agency to supply products in Singapore. Secondly, producers that supply more than a set amount of EEE have to be licensed under the Producer Responsibility Scheme (PRS). Finally, the PRS operator has to create a recycling system for consumer products while large retail stores provide on-site e-waste collection centres.
Packaging material is a huge waste category in Singapore. The Mandatory Packaging Reporting (MPR) framework requires producers of packaging materials and packaged goods to report the amount and type of packaging they release in the market. Producers have to submit plans to reduce, reuse, and recycle the packaging waste they create.
To target food waste, the Act helps to classify two main types of food waste - avoidable food waste and unavoidable food waste. Avoidable food waste is waste that could have been prevented with better management, such as expired food or leftovers. Unavoidable food waste includes foods that aren't meant to be eaten, such as bones or eggshells. The Act focuses on the unavoidable waste stream by creating a framework for food separation. New building which will become large food waste generators like hotels and malls shall include an on-site food waste treatment center. Large food waste generators have to segregate food waste for more effective treatment. The treated waste will eventually be made into things like animal feed, compost, and biogas.
