Singapore's public sector produced 218.7 million kg of waste in FY2023, a 1.3-per cent increase from the previous fiscal year, due to more activities and higher footfall at public sector facilities after COVID-19.
The public sector sets a net-zero target around 2045, five years ahead of Singapore's national target by 2050.
