Those who recycle their items with ALBA W&H Smart City can redeem their rewards on the company’s mobile app. By collecting 6,000 points, or about 80 containers, users can get a S$2 GrabFood or Grab transport voucher, which can be redeemed once a month.“Even at such a low rate, just 2.5 cents, people are recycling. We have daily users on the app as well … And we see that the take-up rate is already high,” she told CNA.

At Funan mall, 31-year-old Billy Zheng used his lunch break to make a trip to recycle a big bag of cans and bottles at the machine run by F&N Foods, which was tucked away near a lift lobby on the third floor. “As a whole, I think our country doesn’t really have a recycling culture yet, especially for the older folks,” he added.
