11 From 2010 to 2020, the amount of food waste that Singapore generated increased by
approximately 49%.
The number is set to increase as the country continues to grow in terms of population and
affluence.
In2020, Singapore generated around 857 900 tonnes of food waste.
(l tonne = 1000 kg)
Here are some information about food waste habits of households in Singapore.

(c) ZYo of food waste is disposed at the Semakau landfill every year.,
Based on the 2020 food waste amount, this landfill can only fill up to 250 000 tonnes of
food waste before it runs out of space.

The National Environmental Agency (NEA) estimates that the landfill can last tiill the
year 2035.
