What you will see

Step into one of Singapore’s four operational waste-to-energy plants, and delve into the complexities of our local waste management system. Participants will have a chance to observe how trucks sort and unload our waste at the reception hall. They will also have a first-hand look how the waste is further processed, before being transferred into the incinerator. Participants will have a chance to speak with the plant’s crane operators and engineers, and learn about how the boilers are controlled, regulated, and maintained every day.

Who you will meet

Meet Nabin, who works as a Crane Operator at TuasOne Waste-to-Energy Plant. Nabin came to Singapore at an early age of 18, and has been working in the Waste-to-Energy industry since then, starting from the Tuas South Incineration Plant. Coming from Bangladesh, he makes it a point to visit his family back at home every few years.
