THE government, in planning a comprehensive system to manage growing electronic and electrical waste (e-waste) in Singapore, will be looking into introducing laws to require electronics producers and retailers to play their part.
More than 60,000 tonnes of e-waste are generated in Singapore each year, with the industrial and residential sectors contributing evenly. This figure is growing 5 per cent every year, said the National Environment Agency (NEA).
