Be it in Singapore or anywhere else in the world, sustainable living is all the rage. After all, it’s a win-win for both you and the planet. For all of you who would like to start being kinder to the environment, here are two ways to create a cleaner, greener, happier lifestyle!
Upcycle it, don’t bin it
One of the easiest ways to help our planet is to learn how to dispose of waste correctly. Anything you don’t need and can’t reuse, make sure to sort them into the right waste bins. Live and work in and around Marina Bay? Check out By The Bay’s eco-friendly waste disposal programmes. Excess and unopened non-perishable food can go into The Food Bank Singapore‘s donation boxes while The Singtel x SingPost E-waste Recycling Programme also helps the community by safely recycling electronic waste. Drop off your extra SIM cards and old batteries at any of the locations below!

Reuse over and over again
Start your eco-lifestyle by using everything more than once. Thinking about throwing away that single-use plastic vessel? Think again – there are more than a few creative ways to reuse them. A good way to cut back on waste is to purchase reusable household items, such as shopping bags, metal straws, and cups. If you ever find yourself out with your reusable items by the bay, stop by Toast Box (B2-18) for their BYO cup promotion, and get $0.10 off your purchase. Supermarket and delicatessen, Jasons Deli (B2-44), also encourages customers to bring their own grocery bags – or simply purchase a biodegradable bag from them for future use. Reusing is simple at By The Bay. Embark on your sustainble journey today !
