新加坡对固体废弃物管理的实践和面临的挑战

Practices and Challenges of Solid Waste Management in Singapore

简述了目前新加坡固体废弃物管理的总体情况和对未来的挑战。新加坡的固体废弃物管理一向由国家环境部负责,近年来私营企业也有所参与。按新加坡的废弃物管理优先等级原则,废弃物最小量化(减量,再利用和循环利用,即称之为“3Rs”)优先等级最高,其次是焚烧法,最后是填埋处理。而固体废弃物的焚烧处理是新加坡首选的处理方法。废弃物产生量最小化、焚烧灰渣的利用和工业废弃物的管理是新加坡面临的主要挑战。

An overview of the current solid waste management situation and future challenges in Singapore were resumed. Solid waste management in Singapore has traditionally been undertaken by the Ministry of Environment （ENV）, with the participation of some private sectors in recent years. The hierarchy of solid waste management in Singapore is waste minimization （reduce, reuse and recycle or so - called 3 Rs）, followed by incineration and landfill. Solid waste incineration has been identified as the most preferred disposal method. Waste minimization, the utilization of incineration ashes and industrial waste management are regarded to be the major challenges in the future.
