While I agree there is a lot of plastic used for disposable plastic bags, it is not common to get disposable chopsticks in hawker centers, unless you ask for takeout, which often costs 20-50c extra. Usually all plates/cutlery in hawker centers are reusable plastic.
While Singapore cannot be compared to Europe in terms of "save-the-environment" attitude, there recently has been improvement (e.g. some supermarkets started to give discount if you bring your own bag; government incentives to educate people to use reusable plastic etc).
Also, you say Singapore doesn't feel like a very clean city to you, but you don't have any examples. Certainly Singapore is very clean compared to any European/German city of the same size, or anywhere else in SEA.
I'm also German, living in Singapore for 6+ years.
