The article “Duo turn plastic waste into a concrete idea” reported by Priscilla Goy on Straits Times(January 11, 2016) states that today, scientists have discovered a sustainable recycling method to transform plastic waste through chemical reaction.  Company BlueRen increases the plastic being recycled and reduces usage of cement by integrating of carbon material. The uses of carbon nanotubes have been restricted because it is expensive and emits pollutant but BlueRen’s technology uses a “unique mineral like catalyst, which is ecologically-safe”(2016). Co-founder Wong Chui Ling mentioned “conversion of plastic waste into carbon nanotubes”(2016) is not practical. Their aim is to minimise plastic waste and commercialise the technology that has been available. BlueRen’s technology is ongoing, but its results seem favourable. According to In “Duo turn plastic waste into a concrete idea”(2016), Muthiah claimed to change the idea of recycling to upcycling, turning a profitless input to...

Company BlueRen increases the plastic being recycled and reduces usage of cement by integrating of carbon material. According to (Straits Times), “869,000 tonnes of plastic waste are generated, but just 9 per cent was recycled”.

Tampines Mall 4 Tampines Central 5 Singapore 529510 13 September 2017 Ms Lim Lay Hoon Lecturer Singapore Institute of Technology 10 Dover Drive Singapore 138682 Dear Ms Lim, I am Ashley Seah of class SEM03. I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic with Diploma in Electrical Engineering. I began to grew passion for engineering during my polytechnic years and decided to pursue my degree in Sustainable Infrastructure Engineering(Land). My strength - During my polytechnic days, I was fortunate enough to encounter dedicated lecturers that attributed to my success in Math which helped out significantly with my GPA. After tasting the little sense of accomplishment from solving a problem or helping a friend with a problem that they couldn’t figure out, I came to start enjoying doing Math. There is always more than one method to solve a problem and with consistent practice, you will get better because you will expose yourself to unfamiliar questions and eventual...
