The solution should adequately measure recycling efforts to provide insights to help CapitaLand shape consumer and tenant recycling behaviour and incentivise effective waste segregation.
The solution should include the following features:
- Data collection. The solution should be able to collect tenant information including the types of waste (eg. food, paper, plastic, metal etc.) that they generate, the volume of waste, the frequency, and the actual location of where the disposal/recycling takes place.
- Data separation. The solution should assist CapitaLand in categorising the eventual recycling data. CapitaLand has currently identified the following aspects that they want information around: (1) presence of contamination and (2) potential for waste to be converted or repurposed for other use?
- Data integrator. The solution should be able to integrate other waste data from multiple sources, such as general waste collectors (GWC) and other waste initiative or recycling vendors. Data collected should also be integrated back to our Environment Tracking System and other platform like tenant portal for ease access of data by our tenants. This will provide CapitaLand with a fused and reconciled understanding of their commercial property's current waste and recycling situation.
- Fused information. The solution should be able to provide a single source of information that CapitaLand can use to understand recycling rates, types of waste and recyclables, and proportions of recyclables.
- Consolidate improvements. The solution should provide reports and valuable metrics to CapitaLand and its stakeholders that can be used to guide strategies and initiatives to improve recycling rates and minimise waste.

Promoting Active Mobility And Public Transport Within Jurong Lake District
How might we encourage drivers to go car-lite and promote more Walk-Cycle-Ride modes of transport for trips within the Jurong Lake District?What We Are Looking For
SMRT is looking for a solution that aggregates information across the various public transport services and active mobility options in JLD. The solution targets to change car owners / frequent drivers’ perception of public transport and offer commuters better interaction with SMRT’s offerings.
The solution may consider the following:
- Aggregate and propose viable public transport and active mobility options. The solution pools together available public transport options and proposes suitable transport and WCR modalities to promote a car-lite JLD.
- Leverage third-party data. The solution integrates third-party data1 from other transport providers (e.g. from bike-share and on-demand rideshare providers) to provide a single point of information for users to access public transport information and first / last mile options (e.g. fully covered walkways) within JLD which are often roadblocks to taking public transport.
- Personalised recommendations. The solution should be able to prompt suggested routes to users based on their usual travel patterns and departure time, taking into consideration the prevailing weather conditions and road traffic conditions, to help them make a more wellinformed decision on the use of public transport and their first / last mile options.
- Provide new value to users. The solution should help make travel time more productive / meaningful, enabling better connections especially for people who must make multiple stops to get to their destinations (e.g. suggesting routes that pass through relevant MRT stations to help with access to popular essential services).
- Real-time monitoring for transport operations optimisation. Surges in real-time demand for public transport can be flagged to SMRT's operations control centres within JLD for better management of the bus fleet and train system. The solution integrates the actual ridership data from SMRT to provide better routing and active mobility / public transport options for users.
