With the article “Tuas Nexus – Singapore’s First Integrated Water and Solid Waste Treatment Facility Begins Construction”, the National Environment Agency (NEA) (2020) revealed that the Tuas Waste Reclamation Plant (WRP) will be built by 2025. Used water will be channeled underground from households and industries to the WRP via two different tunnels. The NEA further disclosed that the Integrated Waste Management Facility (IWMF) will be established by 2028. Waste from various sources will be processed to achieve “higher resource and energy recovery” at a lower environmental and land cost. Collected household recyclables will abundantly be sorted due to reduction in costs and cutting-edge automation technology. Moreover, the organic materials separated from the inorganic ones in food waste will be transformed into slurry. The combined breakdown of the slurry with used water sludge at the WRP will boost the total plant thermal efficiency and power generation. Finally, the IMWF will also treat dewatered sludge and incinerable waste.
