PEEL (Programme for Environmental Experiential Learning)

PEEL or the Programme for Environmental Experiential Learning is an out-of-the-classroom learning programme that expands your knowledge of environmental management through a series of site tours and visits to environmental facilities around Singapore. Facilitated by experienced guides, each PEEL Trail gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how Singapore manages and maintains a clean environment to achieve its environmental objectives of Clean Land, Clean Air  and a good standard of Public Health.

Check out the following full-day trails below!

Clean Land Trail

In land-scarce Singapore, the amount of refuse generated daily demands a highly efficient system of management. Through planning and continuous monitoring, we have developed one of the most sophisticated refuse collection and disposal models in this region. On the PEEL Clean Land Trail, gain exclusive access to state-of-the-art waste management facilities and visit the world’s first offshore landfill which exists alongside a vibrant eco-system.

Visit the following highlights in the PEEL Clean Land Trail:

  • Pneumatic Waste Disposal System
  • Incineration Plant
  • Offshore Landfill

Dresscode: Participants are advised to come in covered shoes for safety reasons.

Clean Air Trail

In an international survey on the best places to live in Asia, Singapore was ranked first because of our good air quality, which falls well within the standards of the World Health Organisation. The PEEL Clean Air Trail introduces you to the people and places that help keep our air clean and clear all year round, including a visit to a satellite remote sensing centre.

Visit the following highlights in the PEEL Clean Air Trail:

  • Singapore City Gallery
  • Vehicular Inspection Centre
  • Satellite Remote Sensing Centre

Public Health Trail

Singaporeans enjoy one of the highest standards of public health in the world and correspondingly has one of the lowest rates of environmental communicable diseases. It is a wonder that Singapore is located in the malaria-endemic tropics but is malaria-free. On this trail, learn about the various types of mosquitoes and their breeding habits and gain insights into the strategies adopted to make cooked food in Singapore safe for consumption.

Visit the following highlights in the PEEL Public Health Trail:

  • Vector Surveillance in Residential Area
  • Upgraded Hawker Centre

Climate Change Trail

There is overwhelming consensus among scientists and governments around the world that global warming is human induced. The bad news is that there may not be much time left for ecosystems to adapt to this change quickly enough. However the good news is that there is still time for us to minimise its devastating effects. Join us in understanding the relevant issues and gain insights into what we can do to save our planet in the battle against climate change.

Visit the following highlights in the PEEL Climate Change Trail:

  • Climate Change Exhibition
  • Tri-Generation Industrial Facility
  • Energy-Efficient Building

^ Please note the following dress code for the PEEL Climate Change Trail:

  • Sturdy shoes that fully enclose the feet with stable soles and heels. Heels should not exceed 2 inches in height with a minimum surface contact area of 1 inch-square. Participants will need to change to safety shoes at the Tri-Gen Facility if they do not meet the requirements.
  • Long pants and shirt/blouse with sleeves.
  • Participants will be required to put on prescribed safety helmets and goggles when touring the facility.

Recycling Trail

If all rubbish goes directly to the waste treatment plants, Singapore would need to build one new incineration plant every 5 to 7 years, and one new landfill every 25 to 30 years. Recycling closes the loop in waste management. It enables products to be broken down into their componet and returned to the manufacturing-consumption chain. On this trail, witness the new life of materials as they go through industrial recycling and take a peek at the recycling efforts in Singapore!

Visit some of these highlights in the PEEL Recycling Trail:

  • Recycling Industrial Park
  • Creative Recycling Plant
  • E-waste Recycling Facility
  • Household Waste Sorting Centre
  • Steel Recycling Factory


^ Please note the following

  • Photography and filming are not allowed within the site premises.
  • For safety reasons, all participants are to ensure that their shoes are properly enclosed and do not have pointed heels.
  • For health reasons, those who are pregnant are advised against participating in this trail.
