Clean-up event for Mitsui Chemicals Group in Singapore

Mitsui Chemicals Asia Pacific (MCAP) – Mitsui Chemicals Group of affiliates in Singapore completed a round of clean-up on 15 September 2022, at the Marina Reservoir, the largest reservoir in Singapore. 24 employees had participated in the 1.5 hours of clean-up exercise done using kayaks. A total of 28kg worth of trash were collected, made-up predominately by plastic wrappers, single-use bottles, and drinking cans. Due to the pandemic, several disposable masks were also picked up.

 

 

This clean-up exercise was also part of the clean-up efforts leading to the World Cleanup Day 2022, which fell on 17 September 2022.

 

 

To aid the clean-up effort, the companies had engaged Waterways Watch Society, to conduct both the educational talk and the kayaking clean-up.
