Sustainability
Beyond the outlook, in ethos, the Singapore Pavilion is designed to convey our collective aspirations for a zero waste, resilient future. With the aim to be sustainable, the Singapore Pavilion embraces the 4Rs (Reduce, Recycle, Renew and Reuse) approach and circularity from design and construction to operations. Our commitment to reducing environmental impact is evident in practices such as sourcing materials locally to minimise carbon emissions.
Key Facts
About 15,000kWH of renewable energy will be generated over the duration of Expo 2025 (6 months) via the rooftop building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). This can power up to 77 electric vehicles for 1,000km each, or approximately twice the distance from Osaka to Tokyo.
Adopting drip irrigation, which is a more efficient and responsible system for landscaping, reduces water consumption by 60%. This is equivalent to approximately 2,800 half-litre water bottles saved daily.
Components are designed to be modular and standardised, which allows for efficient assembly, reduces the time and manpower required during construction, and generates less waste compared to conventional construction methods.
Embracing circular design principles with architectural and interior components, including furniture, fittings, and equipment, that are purposefully designed with opportunities for reuse after
the event concludes.
Enveloping the façade are aluminum discs made up of 70% post-consumer recycled content. The use of these recycled discs, instead of new aluminum discs, helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 70 tonnes. This is equivalent to the carbon emissions absorbed by 2,500 trees annually.
