In brief
The unique brew is raising awareness about water recycling while exciting climate summit attendees.
The Singaporean pavilion at COP29 has drawn significant attention this week with its creative beverage choice: a beer called NEWBrew made from recycled toilet water. This initiative highlights Singapore's commitment to water reclamation and environmental sustainability. Delegates and observers at the summit in Baku are intrigued by the light pilsner offered for free. Samantha Thian, a leader from Singapore’s youth delegation, shared that first-time tasters may be surprised, but many return for another pint after being reassured about its eco-friendly qualities. The pastel cans, featuring solar panels and cityscapes, emphasize the message of recycling and sustainability. This culinary innovation not only quenches thirst but also sparks conversations around renewable solutions. With this eye-catching initiative, Singapore proves that sustainability can be both fun and flavorful at major global events like COP29!
