SINGAPORE - All hotels, food and beverage operators and attractions on Sentosa island will stop giving out plastic bottled water by the end of 2023, saving at least two million plastic bottles a year.
“We have chosen to start with bottled water because of the availability of alternatives, since potable water is readily accessible in Singapore,” said its spokesman. By the end of the year, SDC said that it will be requiring the different operators on its island to implement a range of other measures which will help to reduce the use of plastic bags, takeaway food containers and dine-in disposable tableware, as well as to cut packaging waste and do away with the use of amenity kits.
In place of bottled water, operators can consider other solutions like piping water through filtered taps, or providing water jugs, said SDC.
