Emphasis on encouraging good recycling habits amongst students, e-waste recycling and public hygiene this year.
Singapore, 6 October 2025 – Over 1200 Clean & Green activities, involving more than 400,000 participants from schools, grassroots, NGOs and corporates have been held across Singapore throughout 2025. The activities included learning journeys to sites of environmental interests, sustainability-themed community events, and volunteer deployments to raise public awareness on the need for greater environmental stewardship. These ground-up initiatives continue the decades-long Clean & Green Singapore (CGS) movement, inviting everyone to adopt sustainable practices, conserve biodiversity, and foster a more gracious society.
2 The National Environment Agency (NEA)’s annual CGS flagship event, CGS Day, will be held on 1 November 2025. Leading up to CGS Day, we are partnering four key partners to showcase a range of the wider community’s contributions to our sustainable development journey:
Launch of REHub for Cora School Recycling League
6 Oct 2025 (Mon), 7am – 9.30am @ Mee Toh School
3 Senior Parliamentary Secretary Goh Hanyan will join Cora Environment to launch REHub, a Smart Recycling Hub, at Mee Toh School, featuring four separate compartments for paper, metal cans, plastic bottles and drink cartons. Each bin is equipped with a smart sensor that will alert the waste management company when it is 80 per cent full, to prevent overflowing recycling bins.
4 Mee Toh School was selected in recognition of the school’s achievement as the 2024 Gold award recipient in the primary school category of the School Recycling League (SRL). SRL is a recycling competition amongst schools organised by Cora Environment (previously known as SembWaste) since 2023, which aims to promote good recycling habits amongst students and help develop a strong culture of environmental responsibility. The launch of the REHub at Mee Toh School, which is also a 2019 President’s Award for the Environment recipient, symbolises the efforts of our corporate partners to engage the community and encourage sustainable lifestyle practices. It is also a testament to the developing partnerships between schools and corporates. Please see the Annex for more information.

In addition to booths showcasing partners e-waste and sustainability solutions, IEWD will spotlight various lead-up activities for the community, such as a competition for students to design e-waste bins, a photography contest, and e-waste and battery recycling challenges.

Race to Sustainability! 2025
21 Oct 2025, 9.00am – 11.30am @ Gardens by the Bay
6 This year’s Race to Sustainability! event for primary and secondary schools will be headlined by local sustainability champion Biogirl MJ, featuring an exclusive SG60 Comic Trail of 10 larger-than-life panels conceptualised and designed by her. Senior Minister of State Zaqy Mohamad will flag off the race for more than 4,000 students over the two-day event. The comic trail showcases diverse elements of sustainability in Singapore – from the OneMillionTrees movement and hornbill conservation, to solar-powered Supertrees and water-saving ecosystems – conveyed in a light-hearted and enjoyable way. These 10 comics will double up as race stations for students to solve puzzles and complete challenges. Nine public agencies – NEA, BCA, CAAS, HDB, LTA, MPA, MAS, SFA and URA – will also come on board to display interactive installations to showcase Singapore’s collective efforts in building a green nation.
7 Race to Sustainability! will continue to be extended beyond programmes for schools. The SG60 comic trail, talks and workshops will be open to the public from 21 October to 30 November 2025.
Eco Paddle with Ola
25 Oct 2025 (Sat), 9am – 12pm @ Ola Beach Club, Sentosa
8 Minister Grace Fu will join 90 participants from various corporate partners at Ola Beach Club’s Eco Paddle at Sentosa. This “paddle to preserve” approach combines adventure with environmental action as volunteers kayak through Sentosa’s southern waters to remove debris that threatens our marine ecosystem. Experienced guides will lead participants through Singapore’s marine biodiversity hotspots, revealing how everyday choices impact creatures living beneath our waves.
9 The session wraps up with an upcycling workshop where collected sea glass and driftwood are transformed into unique accessories and keepsakes. By turning waste into something meaningful, the programme shows how fun and creativity can inspire people to care for the environment. Ola Beach Club will host six additional public sessions from May to December 2025, inviting more Singaporeans to take part in this blend of adventure, learning and conservation.
