Want To Leverage Circular Economy?

Let me break down Singapore's circular economy approach to waste management:

➡️ Comprehensive waste sorting:
𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀, food waste, and general waste at source

➡️ Efficient collection system:
𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘂𝘂𝗺 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗯𝗶𝗻𝘀 optimize waste collection routes

➡️ Recycling facilities:
Advanced sorting technologies 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀

➡️ Waste-to-energy incineration:
𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆, powering homes and industries

➡️ Ash management:
𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝗵 is used in land reclamation projects or processed 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀

➡️ Water-energy-waste nexus:
Tuas Nexus integrates 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, creating energy synergies

➡️ Biogas production:
Food waste is 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗴𝗮𝘀, used for power generation

➡️ Circular material flows:
Recycled materials are 𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱 into manufacturing processes

➡️ Digital tracking:
Smart systems monitor waste flows, enabling 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

WHITE HYDROGEN is found in France.

It's hydrogen that forms naturally underground through geological processes like water reacting with certain rocks.

And unlike other hydrogen types, it requires zero production energy and creates zero emissions.

---> A huge 46-million-ton deposit of this natural hydrogen has been found by French scientists beneath the Moselle region.

It may be the world's largest natural hydrogen reservoir, valued at over $92 billion.

And the consequences are enormous. One deposit may replace more than half of the world's annual production of gray hydrogen without harming the environment.

Therefore, traditional hydrogen production methods are either dirty (#GrayHydrogen from fossil fuels) or expensive (#GreenHydrogen from renewable electrolysis).

However, white hydrogen tackles both problems at once. It is potentially cost-effective as well as hygienic.

The impact on the economy comes next. This discovery could significantly reduce dependency on imported fossil fuels and create thousands of jobs in France's Lorraine area.

The 9 Key Principles of Eco-Design

1. Eco-efficiency: Focuses on using less material and energy throughout the product's life cycle.

2. Circular Economy: Designs products for disassembly and reuse, minimizing waste.

3. Design for Disassembly: Ensures products can be easily taken apart for efficient repair, refurbishment, or recycling.

4. Optimize Material Use: Select materials that are sustainable, recyclable, or biodegradable whenever possible.

5. Embodied Energy: Reduces the energy required to extract, process, transport, and manufacture the product.

6. Systems Thinking: Considers the product within a larger system. Can a service replace the product entirely?

7. Inspired by Nature: Mimics nature's sustainable processes and designs for efficiency.

8. Green Manufacturing: Implements eco-friendly practices during production to minimize pollution and waste.

9. Net Positive Carbon: Strives to achieve a positive environmental impact by offsetting carbon emissions.
