The Japanese Garden in Jurong Lake Gardens, set to reopen in September, will feature Singapore's largest water lily collection, with over 150 water lily varieties sourced from around the world, and gardens that promote water conservation. One key highlight is the smart water management system, funded by Micron Technology’s S$1 million donation, that helps clean and restore the water in the Water Lily Garden and the larger Japanese Garden. The new Sunken Garden will also feature a cenote-inspired water feature that will harvest and recycle rainwater. Sharing about how this will create a microclimate of high humidity and low temperatures, National Parks Board (NParks) added that “with its naturally cooling environment, the Sunken Garden will also offer visitors a refreshing respite.” In promoting community stewardship, NParks collaborated with community stakeholders to co-design the Floral Garden plots, involving over 150 residents, leaders, students, and volunteers to enhance the Japanese Garden by planting trees and shrubs.

Taiwanese electric motorcycle maker, Gogoro, will launch its first battery swapping station at a Shell service station in August, allowing riders to quickly swap out batteries and stay mobile, instead of waiting for hours to charge up. To gain insights into sustainable mobility solutions in Singapore, Cycle & Carriage Singapore partnered with foodpanda to test Gogoro's Smartscooters and battery-swapping platform under special permission granted by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore. Delivery riders participating in the trial averaged 2,200 km per month, increasing the usual mileage by swapping batteries up to twice daily—with each full charge enabling them to travel up to 100km. Three different Gogoro electric motorcycles will be launched by the end of 2024, available for purchase or lease. Meanwhile, other companies like MO Batteries and Evotion Labs are also exploring battery swapping technology in Singapore, with Evotion Labs planning to expand its network by 2024.

To reduce carbon emissions across healthcare institutions, Singapore has launched the new CHI - Centre for Healthcare Innovation Sustainability Academy which will offer training courses and foster collaboration between public and private healthcare sectors to develop green solutions. Associate Professor Hon Tym Wong, Clinical Director at CHI shared that the centre has goals of “reducing energy and water use by 10 percent from the baselines by 2030, and reducing waste disposed of by 30 percent by then.” These will act as standard for healthcare teams for a larger industry-wide impact. To mitigate impact on the environment, hospitals like the National University Hospital has already started implementing initiatives, such as reducing usage of anaesthetic gases with high carbon footprint, and witnessing success with significant emission reductions by about 98 percent over the past three years. For other institutions seeking to achieve similar results, the new academy will provide their expertise and guidance.

Local waste company 800 Super Holdings Ltd, plans to expand its smart recycling system to 83 additional locations in Singapore by January 1, 2025. Their system utilises smart recycling boxes and lockers that accept paper, plastic, aluminium, glass, metal cans, clothing. Additionally there is a food waste recycling locker where users can put food scraps in provided airtight containers, and weigh them before placing them in the locker. Huileng T., Executive Director of Zero Waste Singapore shared, “We believe that such waste segregation at source will inculcate more mindful management of trash, including reducing waste generation in the first place, and cleaning and storing recyclables properly before taking them to the recycling boxes or bins.” Following a successful trial in Bishan and Sin Ming, which significantly reduced contamination rates for recyclables, this initiative aims to improve Singapore's recycling rate by expanding accessibility. Residents are also incentivise by earning points for segregating and depositing recyclables, which can be exchanged for NTUC FairPrice vouchers via an app. Read more about it: https://lnkd.in/gZ95kDFS Together, let’s #PowerTheChange and pave the way for a more sustainable world. #Geneco #GenecoSG #WasteManagement #RecyclingInnovation #CircularEconomy
