By the year end, SDC said it will be requiring the different operators on its island to implement a range of other measures that will help to reduce the use of plastic bags, takeaway food containers and dine-in disposable tableware, as well as to cut packaging waste and do away with the use of amenity kits.
According to an islandwide study conducted in 2021, Sentosa said that it generated approximately 22,800 tonnes of waste annually, with an estimated 8 per cent to 11 per cent of the total comprising disposables. Some Sentosa hotels have already ditched plastic bottled water. For instance, Capella Singapore has eliminated single-use plastic bottles since 2019, saving 80,300 bottles. Instead, filtered water is placed in reusable glass bottles in the rooms daily.
