Sentosa Development Corporation’s Post

Have you spotted these bins on Sentosa? Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) is proud to be the first in Singapore to deploy the Muuse Smart Return Bin – an innovative solution supporting our circular economy efforts and reducing single-use disposables across the island. ♻️ The process is simple: Scan, Drop, and Done. 1. Scan the QR code to identify your container. 2. Drop your used container into the bin. 3. Done! You've just contributed to a cleaner, greener Sentosa! By making returns this easy, we hope to empower our guests to make conscious, sustainable choices – one container at a time. 100 percent powered by solar energy, these innovative smart bins use a QR code system to ensure only Muuse reusable food containers are deposited, encouraging responsible recycling amongst our guests on the island. In its first month alone, this initiative has contributed to saving 391 kgCO2e in carbon footprint! This pilot project is part of Sentosa's broader push to minimise single-use disposables, as outlined in our Disposables Policy and Playbook introduced in 2023. The Smart Return Bin initiative at Food Kiosk at Central Beach Bazaar is led by Mount Faber Leisure Group (MFLG), in partnership with Muuse, as a part of their ongoing sustainability journey.   Since its deployment, the container return rate has improved from 79 per cent to 91 per cent, while the contamination rate has drastically decreased from 90 per cent to just 5 per cent. This marks a significant improvement from the previous manual return system, where the containers were often mixed with other waste.    When you next visit the island, be sure to give the Smart Return Bin a try using the reusable Muuse container from participating stalls. Every small action count to pave the way for a more #SustainableSentosa and beyond.   #Sentosa #SentosaIsland #WhereDiscoveryNeverEnds #Sustainability #SmartReturnBin #SolarPower #CircularEconomy #ResponsibleRecycling #ReduceDisposables
