The Safer Lixiviants for E-Waste Recycling project was awarded the Exemplary Innovator Award at the 2023 Public Sector Transformation Awards. Supported by the National Research Foundation and National Environment Agency under the Closing the Waste Loop initiative, the project highlights SP’s leadership in developing safer, more sustainable recycling methods for the circular economy.
The Facile and Green Lixiviants for Recovery of Precious Metals from E-Waste project received the MOE Minister’s Innovation Award at the 2023 Teachers’ Conference and ExCEL Fest. Supported by NRF and NEA, the project demonstrates how green chemistry can replace traditional extraction processes with safer, more environmentally responsible solutions.
SP was presented with two MOE Innergy Gold Awards (Academic) in 2023, recognising innovations completed in 2021 and 2022. The award-winning projects—Green Lixiviants for E-Waste and PV Module Recycling—demonstrate SP’s commitment to advancing sustainable waste recovery through applied research. These efforts reflect SP’s role in supporting industry with practical, circular economy solutions.
SP’s use of plastic waste in asphalt pavements received the IES Prestigious Engineering Achievement Award 2022 and the ASEAN Outstanding Engineering Achievement Award at the CAFEO-40 Conference. The project exemplifies how waste materials can be repurposed to create high-performing infrastructure while addressing environmental concerns in civil engineering.
The Green Lixiviants for E-Waste Recycling project received the MOE Innergy Gold (Academic) Award in 2022, marking continued recognition of its innovation in green chemistry. Developed with support from NRF and NEA, the project promotes safer handling of hazardous materials while boosting recovery efficiency in e-waste recycling.
The Photovoltaic (PV) Module Recycling project was awarded MOE Innergy Gold (Academic) in 2021 for its innovative approach to recovering materials from end-of-life solar panels. The solution supports Singapore’s zero-waste goals and circular economy efforts by addressing a growing challenge in solar waste management.
