NUS Recycling Target & Performance

Under the NUS Strategic Sustainability Plan 2017 – 2020, NUS has achieved a 25% recycling target in FY 2020. To meet the 25% target, the Zero Waste Taskforce has stepped up recycling efforts for various streams – food waste, horticulture, packaging (PMP: paper, metal and plastic) and e-waste (to be included from FY 2021 onwards).

Under the “Towards A Zero-Waste NUS” Action Plan 2030, NUS has a vision to achieve an operational Zero Waste campus by 2030, where around 80% to 90% of our waste sent to incineration plants will be diverted for recycling, reusing and most importantly cutting down the waste generated.
