No!</li><li>Does it make recycling easier? Yes!</li><li>Does it make it easier to explain to others in your household how to recycle? Absolutely!</li><li>So are you saying recycling is a wayang? No!&nbsp;</li></ul><h3><strong>Our School of Thought</strong></h3><p>Our aim is to make recycling easy for everyone and to get the best results with the least effort.</p><p>The official instructions are a bit different: official instructions encourage you to put everything in the blue bin that could <i>possibly </i>get recycled. Then market forces (demand for recyclables) will determine whether or not something <i>actually </i>gets recycled. &nbsp;What doesn't will get sent to incinerators.&nbsp;</p><p>Sometimes perfectly clean material will still get incinerated because there is no demand for this post-consumer waste. Food contamination is not the only reason materials are not recycled.</p><p><strong>Some History</strong></p><p>NEA guidelines have remained more or less the same since the blue bin system was established roughly a decade ago. And when they were first formulated, casting a wide net made a lot of sense because demand for plastic waste was much greater.</p><p>But over the years, markets for many plastics have disappeared and are unlikely to come back. For instance, before 2018, China was taking almost all the world's plastic waste. But those days are long gone and they have shut the doors to our plastic! &nbsp;</p><p><strong>So here we are</strong></p><p>Recognising that many of the plastics that used to get recycled no longer do, we think it's worth simplifying instructions.</p><p>Simpler instructions makes recycling less stressful which encourages more people to take part.</p><p>Let's make this clear: we are not saying one method is better than the other. They are different.</p><p>If you are already a recycling guru, you don't need our cheat sheet!&nbsp;</p><p>We offer this approach for those who want some easy rules of thumb to help them recycle.</p><h3><strong>Footnotes: Consumer Waste vs Industrial Waste</strong></h3><p>Our guidelines are for “post-consumer waste” meaning waste generated by individuals and households, not industry.&nbsp;</p><ul><li>Because businesses and industry are often able to generate large volumes of high purity waste, these instructions don't apply to industrial settings.&nbsp;</li><li>Part of the challenge of post-consumer plastic waste is that it is hard to sort and so it is hard to achieve high purity levels.&nbsp;</li><li>For example, a company that has a skip full of pure LLDPE plastic stretch film may be able to get it recycled. This is very different than a small piece of LDPE shrink wrap that an individual puts into a blue bin.&nbsp;</li><li>Purity and volume affect economies of scale. Recycling is a business. Material will only get recycled if it is profitable to do so.</li></ul><h3><strong>A3 Large Poster</strong></h3><p>If you would like to print out a poster size version of this guide, <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/ety9gla7lqw7kf7/Recycle-Simpler-Recyclopedia-A3.pdf?dl=0">download the A3 version here.</a> This version includes a QR code with more info which is NOT readable on A4.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Easy Guide to Recycling

<h3><strong>Do you do collections?</strong></h3><p>No. <a href="https://recyclopedia.sg/about-us">Recyclopedia.sg</a> is a reference website. We help you figure out the best ways to get rid of your stuff but we don't get rid of it for you.</p><h3><strong>Do you recommend any sustainable junk removal services?</strong></h3><p>Not at this time but we are researching it.</p><p>In general, we recommend removal services that are also recycling companies or who work closely with second-hand traders since they are experienced in minimizing waste and extracting the highest possible value from unwanted items.</p><p>While we don't endorse any particular company, &nbsp;the following providers meet these criteria:</p><ul><li><a href="https://earthrecyclingservices.com/">Earth Recycling Services</a>,&nbsp;</li><li><a href="https://greeneryrecycle.com/">Greenery Recycle Trading</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/TiongHuatHengRecycling/">Tiong Huat Heng</a>&nbsp;</li></ul><p>Haulers, moving companies, and those purely in the business of waste disposal may only be sending your stuff for incineration.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>Why do removal services charge? I'm giving them free stuff!</strong></h3><ul><li>Your stuff is not worth as much as you think.</li><li>Junk removal is a business: people need to make a living.</li><li>Removal involves a lot of resources: transportation, storage, and logistics to get the item passed on, resold, or trashed.</li></ul><h3><strong>But can't they sell it for profit?</strong></h3><p>If you think it has value, YOU can sell it!</p><p>But let's be honest: you want junk removal to avoid all the hassle that comes with listing items online:</p><ul><li>taking photos</li><li>creating listings</li><li>managing an online account</li><li>answering questions</li><li>dealing with (often unreliable) potential buyers&nbsp;</li></ul><p>All that effort takes time. If you want someone else to do it, you need to pay them for that effort.</p><h3><strong>What happens to my stuff if I hire a junk disposal service?</strong></h3><ul><li>It depends a lot on what you are getting rid of.</li><li>Many items will get thrown away.</li><li>Items in good enough condition to be resold may get sold to 2nd hand dealers in bulk (eg clothes, appliances, etc).</li><li>Some items may get dismantled to extract valuable materials.</li></ul><h3><strong>A company told me everything will get donated to charity. Is this true?</strong></h3><p>No it's not.&nbsp;</p><p>Charities in Singapore are overwhelmed with junk.&nbsp;</p><p>Check out the <a href="/freecycling?section=Charity%20%26%20Welfare">charities section of our site</a>. You will learn that every charity that takes donations in kind has strict limitations on quality and quantity of what they will take.</p><p>So while some of your items may end up being donated, much won't.&nbsp;</p><h3><strong>So what should I do?</strong></h3><ol style="list-style-type:decimal;"><li>If you want to maximise the value of your stuff, search Recyclopedia for recommendations of what to do with each item, or</li><li>If you just want to get rid of things, pay for someone to take it away.</li></ol><p>Of course we prefer (1) which reduces waste and it the most sustainable option. But it is also the most time consuming.&nbsp;</p>

Need Junk Removal in Singapore? Read this first.

<p>The recent revelation by Reuters that running shoes donated for recycling in Singapore ended up in Indonesian second-hand markets is disappointing news. ("<a href="https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/global-plastic-dow-shoes/"><i>Dow said it was recycling our shoes. We found them at an Indonesian flea market</i></a><i>.</i>")</p><blockquote><p>This is not only bad for this particular initiative, but it erodes confidence in all recycling efforts.</p></blockquote><p>Although some shoes were cherry-picked and resold, there is no clarity on the fate of the rest. In fact there is no transparency at all.</p><p>In addition, importing second hand clothes and shoes is illegal in Indonesia. “<i>Such cast-offs pose a public health risk, undercut its local textile industry and often pile more waste into its already bulging landfills</i>,” <a href="https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/global-plastic-dow-shoes/#:~:text=such%20cast%2Doffs%20pose%20a%20public%20health%20risk%2C%20undercut%20its%20local%20textile%20industry%20and%20often%20pile%20more%20waste%20into%20its%20already%20bulging%20landfills">said a local official</a>.</p><h3><strong>Isn't re-use better than recycling?</strong></h3><p>Is it good that <i>some </i>shoes will see a second life instead of being recycled?&nbsp;</p><p>This framing misses the bigger issues:</p><ol><li>Just because some shoes were selected to be resold, doesn't mean all were: only the best will have this fate.</li><li>Other shoes may have been dumped, burned or even become part of the massive regional problem of marine pollution.</li><li>Lack of transparency means we have no idea how many shoes, if any, were recycled.</li><li>Likewise we don't know how many donated shoes have become waste in Indonesia.</li><li>But mostly, this undermines public trust in all recycling efforts.</li></ol><figure class="image"><img src="https://cdn.recyclopedia.sg/strapi-assets/retuers_e1213cafeb.jpg" alt="It's not uncommon to throw out half the shoes"></figure><h3><strong>Fool me once, shame on you.&nbsp;</strong></h3><p>News that the shoe donations were misused and that there was inadequate oversight to ensure the programme delivered on its promises, feels like yet another case of greenwashing.</p><p>This is not only bad for this particular initiative, but it erodes confidence in all recycling efforts.</p><p>This news is disheartening for those who work hard to promote recycling and encourage people to recycle. Many individuals are already cynical about recycling, believing that it is not worth the effort because it is all a lie. Unfortunately, this time, they were right, and that's a shame.</p><h3><strong>So How?</strong></h3><p>We hope that efforts will be made to regain public trust by providing clear and transparent accounts of the initiative, implementing audit controls, and holding those responsible accountable. It is also our hope that this incident will spark a new era of transparency in recycling. Ensuring transparency and auditing of the recycling process for waste materials when they leave the country can help people believe that recycling is a legitimate effort.</p><h3><strong>Epilogue</strong></h3><p><a href="https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/sportsg-and-partners-apologise-after-lapse-in-shoe-recycling-project-uncovered">SportSG, partners apologise for ‘lapse’ in shoe-recycling project</a>.</p>

Why shoes being resold instead of recycled is a problem

<p>People often use the word <strong>RECYCLING </strong>to mean a whole bunch of different things - reusing, repurposing, upcycling,… and sometimes actually recycling!&nbsp;</p><p>What do they all mean? Here's some vocabulary for you…</p><h2><strong>Recycling</strong></h2><p>Recycling is the reclamation of materials in such a manner that they can be used to displace the primary or raw materials they were produced from.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;"><strong>Recycling results in reduced demand for new material</strong> because the recycled material can be used instead. This is typically a <strong>scalable </strong>way to address waste meaning it can be done for large quantities of waste material typically by municipalities.</span></p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://recyclopedia.ap-south-1.linodeobjects.com/strapi-assets/plastic_pellets_ff2c8ed74b.png" alt="plastic-pellets.png"></figure><h2 style="margin-left:0px;"><strong>Downcycling</strong></h2><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">Downcycling is a particular kind of recycling. It is when something is recycled into a material that is of lower quality than the original. This is common with plastics which tends to get weaker when recycled. If recycled plastic bottles don't get turned into new bottles but, say, </span><a href="https://www.oberk.com/packaging-crash-course/downcycling-temp"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">fleece carpet material</span></a><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;"> then this is downcycling.&nbsp;</span></p><h2 style="margin-left:0px;"><strong>Reuse</strong></h2><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">Repeatedly using an item without significant alteration of the original (eg jars can be re-used - maybe you want to clean it and remove the label but you are not doing any major modifications).&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">This is <strong>usually an individual effort except for some deposit systems and bottle re-use programs</strong>. Locally </span><a href="https://www.apbsingapore.com.sg/sustainability/"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">Asia Pacific Breweries</span></a><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;"> operates a bottle reuse system for some of its beer products. Hurrah!&nbsp;</span></p><h2 style="margin-left:0px;"><strong>Repurpose</strong></h2><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">Repurpose is a kind of reuse. It means using an item in a way not originally intended but without significant alteration. This is <strong>usually not scalable</strong> ie it is typically done on a project basis. Eg using an old food tin as a pencil holder. There is a limit to how many tins can be used in this way!&nbsp;</span></p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:25%;"><img src="https://recyclopedia.ap-south-1.linodeobjects.com/strapi-assets/penicls_in_tin_0a7dd3e572.jpg" alt="penicls-in-tin.jpg"></figure><h2 style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;"><strong>Upcycling</strong></span></h2><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">Turning a discarded product into something useful / of higher quality. This is similar to repurposing except you have to invest time and materials into changing the original.</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">Crafting with waste materials can be included in this. Note that <strong>this is rarely scalable</strong> - meaning it is usually done on a one-off basis and is not an effective solution for waste reduction because it is time consuming and there is little demand for the end product.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">Most upcycling requires the use of new materials as part of the project (paints, glues, some new parts, etc). Craft projects are generally not effective at waste reduction though they can sometimes be used to good effect as an artistic statement about waste.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-left:0px;"><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">In other words: waste crafting can be fun but it won't solve the world's waste problems!</span></p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://recyclopedia.ap-south-1.linodeobjects.com/strapi-assets/upcycling_e8c466f437.jpg" alt="upcycling.jpg"></figure><h2><strong>Incineration is not recycling!</strong></h2><p><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;">Note: <strong>Incineration</strong> is sometimes referred to in the media as "recycling" or “thermal recycling.” You may hear "trash is recycled into energy" "Swedes recycle nearly 100 per cent of their household waste". This is NOT recycling - it destroys the material, it does not recover it which is an essential part of recycling.</span></p><h2><span style="color:var(--primary-text);font-family:inherit;"><strong>Zero Waste</strong>: is a philosophy with the goal to minimise waste that ends up in incinerators or landfills. It is a holistic pursuit that attempts to be systematic and scalable aiming for long term permanent solutions.</span></h2>
