Semakau Island (Pulau Semakau)

Semakau Island, an offshore landfill project in Singapore, transforms the concept of waste management into an eco-friendly haven. By joining two smaller islands, workers have created a larger island using incinerated trash from the mainland. Despite its utilitarian purpose, the island’s waters are teeming with life, including mangroves and vibrant coral reefs. Today, visitors can explore this unique environment on organized tours, experiencing the harmonious coexistence of nature and human ingenuity.
