On 13 & 14 August 2026, the Singapore Hotel Association (SHA), in collaboration with the National Environment Agency (NEA) , conducted its first Zero Waste Manager Course for the hotel industry, facilitated by Dr Aji Divakar.

The two-day course brought together 22 participants from across Singapore’s hotel industry, providing a valuable platform for hoteliers to learn, exchange ideas and explore practical approaches to managing and reducing waste within their operations.
Participants gained a deeper understanding of zero waste and circular economy principles, the 3Rs, waste reduction and segregation, food waste management, data tracking, and ways to engage colleagues in building a stronger culture of waste reduction.

The response was highly encouraging. Among the 21 participants who completed the end-of-course evaluation, representing 18 hotels/organisations, the course achieved an average rating of 4.73 out of 5, with all respondents indicating that they were satisfied with the course and would recommend it to their colleagues.

Participants particularly valued the practical examples and the opportunity to learn from fellow hoteliers:
💬 “Sharing sessions with other hoteliers.”
💬 “Very good content. Clear. Allow open talks & conversations while focusing on how to execute and building a collective awareness.”
💬 “The most useful aspect was learning how to apply zero-waste and circular economy principles to actual hotel operations.”

More importantly, participants left ready to turn learning into action - from improving recycling and reducing food waste to reviewing waste segregation practices, engaging colleagues and developing waste reduction action plans.
One participant even shared plans to register more HODs for the next session in October to build a hotel-wide committee, dashboard and SMART action plan.
