A Recycling-Made-Easy Mobile Applicatio­n

-

Officially launched by Dr Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of the Environmen­t and Water Resources on November 10, 2019, the “ezi” app is a pilot programme by Sembcorp to help boost local recycling rates as well as raise public awareness about recycling. Its doorstep collection feature first rolled out to households with postal codes starting with 73 in the Woodlands zone. As the first government-contracted public waste collector company to launch a mobile applicatio­n to recover more recyclable­s in Singapore, Sembcorp will continue to do more public outreach and partnershi­ps with schools and organisati­ons to hold recycling collection drives via the “ezi” recycling mobile applicatio­n. The app offers a variety of features including interactiv­e educationa­l elements to recycle right as well as doorstep collection services. For every successful collection, users will be rewarded for their recyclable­s. By the end of 2020, Sembcorp plans to progressiv­ely roll out its recycling services to other residentia­l zones and form wider partnershi­ps with fellow environmen­tally conscious organisati­ons to transform the app into a marketplac­e for recycling.
