Cora Environment, previously known as SembWaste and Sembcorp Environment, has announced a $146 million (S$200 million) investment over five years to enhance its waste-to-resource and recycling capabilities. The investment will bolster Cora Environment’s core capabilities, upgrade existing facilities, and introduce a new digital platform for sustainability insights.
It also aligns with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030, aiming to transition the nation towards a zero-waste future.
The company, which serves approximately 450,000 households and trade premises in Singapore, is committed to reshaping the waste ecosystem through collaboration and education.
“Cora Environment is built on a strong foundation of governance, stakeholder trust, and operational depth,” said Lee Kok Kin, Group CEO of Cora.
Cora Environment’s initiatives include the Closed-Loop Partners Network, launched in June 2024, to promote industry collaboration and responsible recycling. Additionally, the Cora School Recycling League, introduced in 2023, has engaged over 400 schools to educate students on clean stream recycling.
With its comprehensive roadmap, Cora Environment is set to play a crucial role in achieving Singapore’s zero-waste goals and advancing waste management practices in the region. The company’s integrated expertise is expected to deliver long-term value and stronger outcomes for customers, stakeholders, and the community.
