In October 2022, Enexor BioEnergy, a manufacturer of renewable energy and carbon conversion solutions in the United States, and Singapore-based TRIA, a sustainable and innovative foodware company, have emerged as the winners of the inaugural OCBC Sustainability Innovation Challenge. This year marked the inaugural edition of the Challenge with SATS being the first Challenge Owner.
"Congratulations to Enexor BioEnergy and TRIA for showcasing the most compelling and scalable waste management solutions."
Between 4Q2022 and 1Q2023, Enexor BioEnergy and TRIA will begin piloting their winning solutions with us, with a view to eventually scale these solutions across our network of operations.

Enexor BioEnergy won with their pitch to install their proprietary Bio-CHP™ system – an organic waste-fuelled micro-turbine – to treat onsite waste, including plastics and biomass at SATS’ catering operations in Singapore.
The solution would convert organic and plastic waste into renewable electricity generation and thermal energy.
"Working collaboratively with the winning teams and OCBC Bank, the SATS team is eager to test the innovative solutions in our real-life operations."
TRIA won with their closed-loop catering solution. TRIA’s pilot will see it recycling both the packaging and food scraps – with no segregation needed.
The pilot will involve the development of packaging using TRIA’s proprietary NEUTRIA® technology, and the fabrication of a Rapid Depolymerisation Module which will treat food and packaging waste, enabling it to be transformed into fertiliser and energy.
