Do You Recycle? Why It Could Be Going To Waste | Talking Point | Full Episode | Part 1/2

Ever wondered where our recyclables from the Bloobins go? Our National Recycling Programme may have begun in 2001 but despite the efforts, Singapore's domestic recycling rate hit a decade-low of 12% last year. Are Singaporean households solely responsible for this?

In this special episode of Talking Point, Host Munah Bagharib delves deep into the world of recycling to investigate what is causing the dismal domestic recycling rate. She gains access to a Materials Recovery Facility which sorts recyclables from our Bloobins. During her stint there, Munah finds peculiar items disposed of as recyclables and also uncovers the hard truths about recycling in Singapore.
