Staff are encouraged to bring their own water bottles. Visitors and guests can drink from the jugs of water, glasses and cups provided in every meeting room throughout CapitaHub. Instead of disposables and single-use plastic, porcelain bowls and spoons are provided during CapitaLand’s monthly dessert sessions. Staff are also encouraged to bring their own cups and utensils during these sessions. This avoids the waste of about 550 disposable bowls and spoons each month. CapitaLand eliminated the use of plastic cups and stirrers, avoiding the wastage of about 40,000 single-use cups and stirrers at CapitaHub each year.

As part of CapitaLand’s active stakeholder and public engagement efforts, CapitaLand has participated in the World Wide Fund for Nature’s (WWF) Earth Hour movement since 2009.

City Developments Limited (CDL)

CDL supports similar campaigns on the waste reduction of disposables. In 2018, CDL partnered with Global Initiatives to represent Singapore alongside 11 other Asia-Pacific cities to support UN Environment’s 2018 theme for World Environment Day: #BeatPlasticPollution. CDL and Global Initiatives rallied 30 like-minded partners from the Private, Public and People (3P) sectors to create three art installations and raise awareness of how plastic pollution affects our health, nature and wildlife. Collection points for plastic bottles were set up at seven CDL commercial properties, and community spaces to collect used 40,000 plastic bottles which were used to create the installations.

EcoBank, inaugurated in 2016, is an annual joint initiative by CDL and Eco-Business that raises awareness on waste reduction through responsible disposal and recycling.Over the past four editions, EcoBank collected some 35 tonnes of pre-loved items which were donated by the general public. The items were sold at a bazaar to raise funds for children’s charities and were thus diverted from the landfill. This saved over 20 tonnes of carbon emissions.

Additionally, CDL has been advocating waste reduction internally through its annual eco-gift distribution initiative to its employees since 2009. Items made of sustainable materials, from reusable containers and cutlery to bags, are given to its employees in conjunction with the annual Clean and Green Singapore campaign. This drives home the message that everyone can play their part in protecting the environment, by adopting a clean, green and sustainable lifestyle.
