Based on the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) 2024, Singapore is the country with the best waste management globally.

EPI is an index that measures countries' performance in addressing climate change, maintaining environmental health, and ecosystem vitality.

This index is compiled by the Yale Center for Environmental Law & Policy together with the Center for International Earth Science Information Network Earth Institute—Columbia University, with support from the McCall MacBain Foundation.

In terms of waste management, EPI assesses countries' performance based on three indicators:

Per capita waste generation;

Solid waste managed through recycling, composting, incineration, or disposal in sanitary landfills; and

The rate of energy and material recovery from waste that contributes to the circular economy.

These various indicators are then processed into a score on a scale of 0-100 points. A score of 0 indicates the worst waste management performance, and 100 the best.

In 2024, Singapore's waste management score reached 75.5 out of 100 points, the highest among the 180 countries surveyed.

Here is a list of the top 10 countries with the best global waste management scores in 2024, based on EPI data:

Singapore: 75.5 points
Japan: 73.6 points
Sweden: 72.7 points
Taiwan: 69.7 points
Netherlands: 69.6 points
Finland: 68.4 points
Germany: 67.4 points
Switzerland: 66.8 points
Denmark: 65.5 points
United Kingdom: 65.4 points
