Ideal:   In 2017, the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) rolled out a campaign “Sustainable Singapore Movement” to cut down on waste generation and wants Singapore to be a “Zero Waste Nation”. According to the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) vision statement, the university seeks to be an innovative leader in the education industry. By being the first educational institution in Singapore to fully recycle all single-use plastics in canteens, SIT will be a model of “Zero Waste Nation” for other educational establishments in Singapore.   Gap:   Currently, SIT canteens use non-recyclable plastic products such as Polystyrene (PS) and Low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The difficulty in recycling such plastic materials will result in an increase in plastic waste generated as it will take hundreds of years for it to fully decompose. Also, the location of recycling bins  are  not strategically placed, hence, it is not fully optimized....

An online article “Driverless Vehicles: A Vision for Singapore’s Transport” retrieved from the Ministry of Transport (MOT) website (2018) stated that implementation of Autonomous Vehicle (AV) will further improve the efficiency of transport, which provide better mobility for the commuter. MOT mentions that AV technology is not uncommon in Singapore, various mode of public transports operating through this technology has reduced manpower usage and the punctuality has been improved. According to MIT study (2011) (as cited in MOT, 2018) in Singapore, AV-enabled car sharing technology is capable to increase accessibility for commuter through reducing the number of personal vehicles on the roads. This technology helps reduces carbon footprint by improving road management. Committee on Autonomous Road Transport for Singapore (CARTS) has been established to lead Singapore closer to the achievement of AV-enabled land mobility. Singapore is on the fast track to widespread driverless technolog...
