All consumers have to do is look out for the relevant labels in stores to know which products they can be used on.
As announced on 4 March, the Climate Vouchers can be claimed by all Singaporeans and permanent residents (PRs) who live in HDB.
Like the Community Development Council (CDC) vouchers, a representative of each household can claim the Climate Vouchers by logging in to the RedeemSG portal using their Singpass account.

These products have been selected as they’re more efficient and can help households reduce their energy and/or water consumption and thus lower their utility bills. They can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help slow down climate change.
If in doubt, consumers can look out for the Climate Vouchers label in-store to ascertain whether an item can be paid for with the vouchers.

According to FairPrice, a transaction must contain only eligible products in order for Climate Vouchers to be used, but multiple eligible products are allowed. Vouchers from different households cannot be combined in a single purchase.
The Climate Vouchers are part of the Climate Friendly Households Programme (CFHP), which was launched in November 2020 to HDB households save on utility bills by buying energy-efficient appliances.
CFHP has now been expanded to all HDB households in a wider range of eligible products added.
