Sometimes seats are taken up by those who have finished their food and are loitering around, or chatting away while occupying the seats that could be used by others.

According to Hyatt (2017), skipping lunch can lead to individuals being distracted from their work and other effects such as “drowsiness, fuzziness, and fatigue”.

In the article “Duo turn plastic waste into a concrete idea,” Goy (2016) reports technology company, BlueRen aims to commercialise recycling of plastic waste into a concrete additive, which will in turn reduce the use of cement in making concrete. Unlike conventional methods of recycling, BlueRen uses a more environmental-friendly mineral as the catalyst and could produce a 10 percent output of carbon nanotubes from the plastic waste product in 2016. This in turn will reduce cement consumption by 30 percent. With BlueRen’s technological breakthrough, the long-incubated recycling process of the industry can finally be upscaled while ensuring that the previous level of cost and harmful environmental drawbacks is at minimal.   The implementation of BlueRen technology in Singapore would improve recycling efforts and provide benefits of various aspects to the country. Firstly, there is a need to address Singapore’s effort towards recycling plastic waste. Tan (2017) recalls that a 2...
