Plastic bags are responsible for the deaths of thousands of sea turtles and marine animals every year, and their effect on us humans is gradually increasing. At the current rate of waste disposal, Singapore’s Pulau Semakau landfill will expire by 2035 and plastic bags currently make up about 10% of the overall waste disposed of at the landfill.Â
Hence, our design is aimed at raising awareness about the environmental impact of plastic bags while providing alternatives, all in an effort to extend Pulau Semakau’s lifespan.Â
