TOGETHER, A CLIMATE-READY SINGAPORE |
The enhanced Climate Friendly Households Programme will be further expanded to include more energy-efficient household products.
From 15 Apr, Climate Vouchers can be used to purchase 5-tick clothes dryers and induction stoves, in addition to the 10 types of energy- and water-efficient appliances and fittings.
By switching to more resource-efficient appliances and fittings, households can lower their utility bills and help to tackle climate change in this Year of Climate Adaptation.

The Return Right F&B Scheme will be introduced for F&B outlets with dine-in service. Under this scheme, participating restaurants and food shops collect back beverage containers consumed during dine-in without charging customers the 10¢ deposit. These Return Right F&B outlets will receive a one-time support of $500.
Major supermarket operators have come together to provide greater clarity in price displays for consumers. Beverage prices on shelves will be displayed without including the 10¢ deposit – the deposit will be charged at checkout.
There will be a network of Return Right reverse vending machines across Singapore, ensuring convenience for beverage container returns.
We will also work closely with community partners and non-governmental organisations to reach out to seniors and vulnerable groups, to help them adapt and address any challenges they may face in returning their beverage containers.
