The National Environment Agency and #NTUsg have jointly established Singapore's first national research centre dedicated to residue and toxic industrial waste management. The Towards Resource Efficiency And Sustainability for URban EnvironmentS (TREASURES) centre was launched by Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Dr Janil Puthucheary at Catalyst 2026. The centre will focus on advancing science and innovation to enable more sustainable, circular approaches to waste management beyond disposal, strengthening Singapore’s capabilities in managing residue and toxic industrial waste including supporting the transformation of Singapore's sole active landfill on Pulau Semakau. By bringing together researchers from across Singapore's universities, industry partners and government agencies, the centre will conduct research on recovering valuable material currently sent to the landfill and on advanced treatment of toxic industrial waste. https://lnkd.in/gY2XSgk6 #NTUsgResearch #NTUsgInnovation #NTUsgPartnerships #NTUsgSustainability #NTUsgInterdisciplinary
