In my opinion, zero waste will be more suitable for my country, Singapore, as there is limited land resources in my country and by using landfill will be an unwise choice due to land scarcity. Land filling is to dispose all unwanted waste into a piece of land that is to be covered up. We assume nature will do its part to biodegrade these waste materials. Using the landfill method is a fast and effortless way of disposing waste material as waste is just needed to be collected by garbage trucks and these wastes are compressed and dumped into the landfills. In contrast, according to Collins (2002), zero waste is a system that uses materials “that can be repaired, reused or recycled” (p.25). Zero waste system requires the man power to sort out the types of waste used before the recycling process begins. The time and money needed to clean and reuse such materials may be a lot but it will also create vast number of job opportunities for the people in addition to being environmentally friendly. Using zero waste will not only save us the space for landfill but it can promote economical benefits and provide a cleaner and greener environment for Singapore.
