Five (5) local enterprises signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) at the Industrial Transformation Asia Pacific (“ITAP”) 2023 event to form a strategic industry alliance to pioneer circular manufacturing in Singapore.
Circular Manufacturing represents a transformative approach that strives to create a closed-loop system where products and materials are continuously reused, remanufactured, and recycled. This approach aligns perfectly with our environmental sustainability goals, reducing the environmental footprint of manufacturing while yielding cost savings for businesses.
The importance of addressing Singapore's resource constraints, environmental challenges, economic diversification, and international standing cannot be overstated. Pioneering Circular Manufacturing signifies a crucial shift away from the traditional "take-make-dispose" model of manufacturing, promoting sustainability while securing our long-term economic and societal well-being.
The alliance co-founding members are CONTINUUM SG PTE. LTD (“Continuum”), TRITAN AMS PTE. LTD (“Tritan”), SHIN SEIKI PTE LTD (“Shin Seiki”), AME INTERNATIONAL PTE. LTD (“AME”), FOREFRONT ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PTE. LTD (“Forefront AM”).
The MoU aims to initiate a collaborative project to pilot circular manufacturing in Singapore by leveraging each company’s respective area of expertise.
a. Continuum, who provides expertise in metal recycling and low carbon footprint metal powder manufacturing.
b. Forefront AM,who provides domain expertise in Additive Manufacturing technology.
c. Tritan, Shin Seiki, and AME, who provide expertise in metal works and solutioning, aggregating and processing metal waste.
This collaboration signifies an important step forward in enabling circular manufacturing in Singapore and developing our local green economy as the new engine of investment, jobs, and growth.
