Singapore has pioneered a remarkable 350-hectare landfill created from incinerated waste, known as Semakau Landfill. This innovative site not only manages the nation’s scarce land but also provides a habitat for diverse marine life. With migratory birds nesting and corals thriving, this man-made island exemplifies successful waste management, projected to remain operational until 2035.
