WITH GAIN CITY
round 60,000 tonnes of electronic and electrical waste (e-waste) gets thrown out in a year. As Singapore’s largest air conditioner retailer, Gain City works closely with the National Environmental Agency (NEA) to provide e-waste disposal and recycling alongside other sustainability efforts. E-TRASH TO RECYCLED TREASURES Looking to replace your air conditioner? Gain City has been a part of NEA’s National Voluntary Partnership Programme since 2018, achieving monthly recycling volumes of over 100 tonnes at our Sungei Kadut e-waste recycling centre. The process includes the safe disposal of harmful gases from air-con compressors and the dismantling and separation of different metals for recycling in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.
CONVERTING FOOD WASTE INTO FERTILISER Gain City is also an NEA-licensed e-waste recycler under the E-Waste Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme that was introduced earlier this year. To play our part towards zero waste, we work closely with the appointed Producer Responsibility Scheme Operator to ensure the proper collection, handling and recycling of e-waste. Eco-conscious homeowners can opt for our professional disposal and recycling services and receive vouchers and rebates when purchasing energy-efficient air-conditioners from Gain City.
Food waste management is key to conserving precious resources. Gain City Megastore @ Sungei Kadut’s two eateries, Happy Café and Lucky Cuisine, effectively collects and processes food waste into fertiliser through the aerobic fermentation system to further support sustainability and environmental preservation.
