RESOURCE RECOVERY
Residues, Resource and Reclamation
Our research in residues, resource and reclamation strengthens Singapore environmental industry's capability in waste and resource management with emphasis on use-inspired R3 (Residues, Resource and Reclamation) research and translation for Singapore, and in the Asia Pacific region. It acts as a focal point for synergistic research collaborations with national agencies, industry partners, and educational and research institutions, both locally and from around the world.
Its R.E.D activities are focused around these 3 key areas:
- Waste to materials - converting waste into new, useful materials;
- Waste to energy - harnessing energy from urban biomass, sewage sludge, agricultural residues, micro-algae;
- Contaminated site remediation - developing solutions and technologies for remediating contaminated sites.
