Driven by the region's robust growth, South East Asia's sewage-related spending will increase to $3.9 billion in 2020, up 150% from 2015, according to Global Water Intelligence, a UK market research company. This will far outpace the 30% growth for the world as a whole over the same period.
Additionally, with climate change and various environmental issues growing across South East Asia, the search for sustainable solutions that help reduce and recycle waste and improve resource efficiency has been ramped up.

In Singapore, natural resource constraints and its commitment toward environmental preservation have made achieving resilience and sustainability in its Water & Environment Industries a priority.
The circular economy, the model of “closing the loop” to minimise waste generation has been hailed as the way forward to do so. The successful development of a circular economy hinges on the collective effort across the industry ecosystem and an integrated approach across water, material and energy management.
How are leaders across the public and private spheres committed to driving circularity? What are the new opportunities and challenges for businesses and how can players collaborate to transition away from a take-make-dispose model in our lives?
Experts from the government, key trade and industry associations and businesses will share their insights on the policies, initiatives and best practices adopted to drive the circular economy while highlighting some of the challenges and business opportunities.
