With only a 13% #recycling rate, and 6% of #plastics waste recycl. in 2021, #Singapore is on the cusp of implementing a metal and plastic drink container recycl. scheme that would refund #consumers in amts. avg. about $0.105 (USD) per can or bottle. Cont'd reliance on food grade plastics and metals lends itself to bolster recycl. However, from a policy persp. emphasis should perhaps be placed on the idea of #biodegradables #cleanerproduction and #greenchemistry instead.
