WASTE MANAGEMENT
We aim to reduce waste and encourage
recycling efforts at our properties.
There are various wastes generated
at SGREIT properties (figures 6 and 7).
While most of the wastes produced
relate to general wastes, which are non-
hazardous, the wastes are managed in
accordance to the industry types of the
tenants of the properties. For example,
in the Food and Beverage (F&B)
environment, food wastes are recycled
as much as possible as illustrated by the
properties in Malaysia, Starhill Gallery
and Lot 10 Property, where used cooking
oil from their F&B vendors are sold to a
third-party oil recycling company that
processes the used oil into biodiesel. In
FY 2016/17, both shopping malls recycled
2,591 kg of used cooking oil. Since 2015,
the malls have recycled nearly 16 tonnes
of used cooking oil.
On the other hand, cardboard wastes, a
significant contributor of waste by retail
tenants, are collected on a daily basis.
The Property Manager also encourages
retail and office tenants to separate
their recyclable waste. Our Singapore
EARTH HOUR PARTICIPATION 25 MARCH 2017
Wisma Atria, Starhill Gallery and
Lot 10 have been supporting the Earth
Hour cause by switching off the malls’
facade lights.
Lot 10 installed a bicycle battery
charging station at the mall to create
awareness of alternative energy to
shoppers. The mall also collaborated
with a local design college and
invited interior design students to
showcase their most creative designs
for sustainable mall furniture using
recycled or recyclable materials.
At Starhill Gallery, Shook! Restaurant
commemorated the event with an
annual candlelit display of the Earth
Hour logo.
Prior to the event day, the Manager
organised a visit to Gardens by the
Bay for staff, to raise awareness
of horticulture and biodiversity.
Staff of the Manager visited Gardens by
the Bay to learn more about biodiversity.

properties are served by National
Environment Agency registered
waste collectors.
There are other general wastes
which are dealt accordingly in a
responsible manner. At Myer Centre
Adelaide, most of the wastes
collected are delivered to their
respective dedicated facilities for
sorting and recycling apart from
the non-recyclable wastes which
accounts for approximately 2.5%
of the total waste.
