Industrialization has brought us the benefits of a comfortable modern lifestyle: health-giving

pharmaceuticals, labor-saving household appliances, automobiles and ships, paints and detergents, synthetic

fibers and polythene packaging, personal computers and TVs, just to name a few out of an endless list of

manufactured goods. However, behind the luxury and convenience of modern living lies the real price of

this industrial production the generation of hundreds of million tons of hazardous and non-hazardous waste

every year.

The industrial model of development has driven the regions economy into a stage of rapid growth,

accompanied by increased environmental pollution. This pattern follows the general trend in early economic

growth described by the environmental Kuznets Curve (Kuznets 1995, Barbier 1997). This development

model, together with new lifestyles associated with greater affluence, has led to rapid changes in

consumption patterns, the generation of large quantities of waste and changes in waste composition. These

are the drivers behind exponentially growing waste management problems in Asia and the Pacific.

Although most countries in Asia and the Pacific have ratified the Basel Convention on the Control of Trans-

boundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, the region as a whole lacks a commonapproach to the import of hazardous wastes.

Singapore is a small island city-state with a large population, warm climate and high humidity. Over the past

two to three decades, rapid industrialization and economic development have caused a tremendous increase

in solid waste generation. The yearly disposed solid waste increased from 0.74 million tonnes in 1972 to

2.80 million tonnes in 2000. Solid waste management in Singapore has traditionally been undertaken by the

Ministry of Environment (ENV), with the participation of some private sectors in recent years. The

hierarchy of solid waste management in Singapore is waste minimization (reduce, reuse and recycle or so-

called 3 Rs), followed by incineration and landfill. As land is extremely scarce and only one newly

constructed offshore landfill site is available, solid waste incineration has been identified as the mostpreferred disposal method. Waste minimization, the utilization of incineration ashes, industrial waste

management are regarded to be the major challenges in the future.

Singapore Industrial production growth rate

Source:CIA World Factbook- Unless otherwise noted, information in this page is accurate as of February

19, 2010

Asian countries in Asia Pacific Region are fastest growing countries in the world due to its faster

industrialization rate, and international trade. During 1980 1995, the share of industrial and service sector

in the regions total GDP increased significantly, while agricultural sector declined as shown in Figure. 1.

This was the result of shift from agro-based and small-scale labor intensive industries to manufacturing large

scale and mechanized industries.

Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Hong Kong are some of the countries to achieve this

faster growth. The leading industries are textile, electronic and electrical, semiconductor, chemical and

petrochemical, metal works and food processing.

GDP per capita in selected countries in Asia and Pacific Region (source: GEO 2000)

According to the 2000 Living Planet Report prepared by the Swiss-based World Wide Fund for Nature,

Singapore is the world's second-largest consumer of natural resources, after the United Arab Emirates.

In its assessment of 59 countries' environmental policy, the 2000 Global Competitiveness Report published

by the World Economic Forum ranked the Republic second for the effectiveness of its environmental

regulations and third in the enforcement of these regulations.

In terms of priority accorded to compliance with international environmental agreements, Singapore was

ranked ninth; in the category of overall stringency of pollution regulations, Singapore came in 10th.

The survey covered 12 Asian territories - China, Hongkong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the

Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Singapore was given the top rating for the overall quality of its environment. It also topped the list in

managing air pollution, traffic congestion and for its attractiveness for foreign direct investment.

For water pollution, Singapore was a close third behind Malaysia and Japan and for noise pollution;Singapore was a joint second with Japan, behind Malaysia.

Six Forces Model

:The Six Forces Model is a market opportunities analysis model, as an extension to Porter'sFive Forces

Model and is more robust than a standard SWOT analysis.

The following forces are identified:

Competition: In the growing industrial world disposal of the waste have been a key agenda for any

company but more important is the way the waste get dispose off. Many companies nowadays are

seeing this in a way to generate revenue. It has attracted many companies to find innovative ways to

dispose of waste. E.g. absorve is used in preparation of road in Singapore.

New entrants: Entry for the new entrants is mainly driven by the capacity to have expertise and

resources in handling waste.

End users/Buyers: In this type of industry it important what kind of product can be generated.

Majority of the industrial waste is in form of water poulant With the increasing government and

international regulation buyers are keen to ensure that the waste Suppliers
