NEA data also shows that while the overall waste being generated in Singapore is trending downwards in both domestic and non-domestic sectors, the declining recycling rates mean more waste is being disposed of.

FROM A1
The daily domestic waste produced per capita fell from 0.88kg in 2023 to 0.85kg in 2024. Likewise, the daily non-domestic waste produced per billion dollars of gross domestic product dropped from about 25 tonnes in 2023 to around 23 tonnes in 2024.
But the total amount of waste disposed of rose from 3.04 million tonnes in 2014 to 3.33 million tonnes in 2024. The waste thrown out in 2023 was 3.3 million tonnes.
FOOD WASTE RECYCLING BEARS RESULTS Food waste recycled in 2024 showed a sustained increase from a decade ago, according to NEA statistics.
About 18 per cent of food waste was recycled in 2024—the same as in 2023 and 2022. The rate was 13 per cent in 2014.
