Based on a research done by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the excessive use of plastic has created a 400-year problem. In Singapore alone, about 700 million kilogrammes of plastic waste are discarded every year. And out of this massive amount, only less than 10% of plastics are being recycled. These shocking numbers have adversely affected our ocean health and biodiversity. By 2050, there could be more plastic wastes in our ocean than fishes by weight.<\/p>\n
At Extra Space Asia, we are committed to caring for the environment and create a sustainable world for our future generations. Our continuous effort to become a more sustainable and energy-efficient organisation has led to the implementation and use of more eco-friendly materials to reduce the overall waste generated and carbon footprint. In 2016, as part of Extra Space Asia\u2019s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) environmental initiative, we distributed free eco-friendly and reusable tote bags to all of our new Customers as a welcome pack before their move-in process.<\/p>\n
Our eco-friendly tote bags are specially designed in-house and made from 100% cotton. Besides being a functional and reusable replacement for plastic bags, this is also one of our few ways to give back to Mother Nature. Here\u2019s a fun fact: our in-house tote bag designs have become something of a collectable and \u2013 over the years \u2013 have gone through over 5 different designs!<\/p>\n
Through this green initiative, we hope to be a part in creating a positive, sustainable future for Singapore and advance our vision towards becoming a Zero Waste Nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
