F1 Singapore Grand Prix exempt from beverage container return scheme: NEA

The Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix, scheduled from October 9-11, will be exempt from the mandatory beverage container return scheme (BCRS). This decision by the National Environment Agency (NEA) is attributed to the event's proximity to the Oct 1 full roll-out of the scheme, as well as its scale and unique nature.

The exemption means that beverages sold in the Circuit Park will not include the 10-cent deposit, and visitors will be encouraged to deposit their empty beverage bottles at the recycling bins set up within the Circuit Park. NEA has also announced that push notifications will be issued through the SGP mobile app, and notices will be displayed at food and beverage outlets and SGP Grid Bars within the Circuit Park. The race will take place at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
