This magazine will be documenting the issues and concerns of take away food in Singapore. The main concern about this entire issue is the wastage of disposable food packaging which Singaporeans called it as “Da bao”. By the end of 2020, firms that use packaging - from supermarkets to importers - must be ready to submit an annual report to the National Environment Agency (NEA) with information on the type and amount of packaging in their products, as well as their packaging waste reduction plans. Da bao is colloquial Cantonese. Originally it meant to bale (to pack) as well as to unpack. In the context of food, da bao has always meant takeaway or to take away (ngoi maie).
