Towards Resource Efficiency And Sustainability for URban EnvironmentS (TREASURES) centre is a new national research centre established by the National Environment Agency and Nanyang Technological University to unlock valuable materials for construction and other industries from residues and toxic waste, stalling land fill use in Semakau.
“It is aptly named, as these materials cannot easily be recycled, but they do hold significant value to industry when properly recovered and properly managed,” said Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Janil Puthucheary, who announced the centre on June 17.
