Dear
Members and Friends
As I never tire of reminding
you, this Chamber was the first
business association in
Singapore to stand up for the
circular economy. This is
because it is the only realistic
and sustainable solution for the
human race and our planet. We
need to reduce the amount of
waste we produce, see waste as a
resource material not something
which ends up in an incinerator
and/or landfill and repurpose it
into something needed.
That is why I am so proud of
your fellow member Dow led by
Paul Fong. Paul and Dow believe
in sustainability which is why
the company has collaborated
with Sport Singapore to create a
permanent collection capability
for (mainly) old sports shoes.
The aim is to recycle 170,000
pairs of used shoes a year into
infrastructure materials.
You now have the chance to
give your used sports shoes a
second lease of life and
contribute to a more sustainable
future for Singapore. Just drop
your old shoes into one of the
special Orange Bins at any of
the 100 collection points around
the island. These include
participating ActiveSG sports
centres and stadiums, Decathlon
stores, schools and tertiary
institutions and many more all
over Singapore. It is
deliberately convenient to make
it easier for you to do the
right thing.
Go that one
step further and sponsor an
Orange Bin. The first 200 have
been sponsored by Standard
Chartered Bank.
Each bin
costs S$100. For sponsorship of
at least 50 bins (hence
S$5,000), Dow will display the
sponsor organisation’s logo on
the posters of the specific
sponsored bins. Contact Paul
Fong at
[email protected] to sponsor.
More information on this
wonderful initiative and the
locations of the Orange Bins
(the collection points) can be
