Waste recycling

Recycling bins at Singtel premises
|
|
Following the success of our paper recycling programme, we extended our recycling efforts to include plastic and
metal waste at our premises across Singapore during
the year. As a result we have recycled 17.8% of our total
wastes. Next year we will continue to expand our
recycling programme and aim to further increase our
level of recycling. We have also been encouraging our
customers to reduce waste and recycle. For example,
we have been actively promoting electronic billing to
our customers. |

|
In addition, we have implemented a joint recycling programme with
Nokia, called 'Recycle a phone, Adopt a tree', whereby customers
who recycle old mobile phones, regardless of brand, can get a tree
planted in their name by Nokia. |

|
They can drop their phone into the recycling bins at selected Singtel Retail Shops or mail their phones directly to our recycling vendor using the prepaid envelopes from any of our shops. We launched the programme in the last week of March 2011 and will report the results next year.
To do our part for environmental conservation, we have been using 100% recycled
paper bags, available in A3 and A4 sizes, at all of our retail shops since March 2010.
