JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Singapore is among the highest plastic waste producers per capita in the Asia-Pacific region, generating approximately 87 kilograms of plastic waste per person annually. As environmental awareness grows, so does the demand for sustainable solutions to reduce waste and promote a circular economy.
Recognizing packaging waste as a key issue, Singapore has implemented initiatives like the Green Plan 2030 and the Mandatory Packaging Reporting Act (2019) to encourage waste reduction and corporate responsibility. A YouGov poll in April 2024 found strong public support for banning single-use plastics, reinforcing the nation's commitment to sustainability.
To address this demand, APP Group introduces Foopak Bio Natura, a biodegradable and compostable packaging solution designed for the Singaporean market. This product line offers eco-friendly alternatives, such as food containers and paper straws that maintain functionality while reducing plastic dependency.
"The Singaporean government's push toward a circular economy aligns with our mission to provide sustainable solutions," said Ricca Windysari, Foopak SEA Regional Sales Head. "Foopak Bio Natura empowers businesses to support the Green Plan 2030 by reducing plastic waste and adopting eco-friendly packaging."
As industries adapt to global sustainability trends, APP Group remains committed to innovation and responsible practices. Through Foopak Bio Natura, the company supports Singapore's waste reduction goals, helping businesses transition toward a greener, more sustainable future.
