Discover how recycling can help our environment – and you!

Our planet contains an amazing array of resources which can be used to create everyday items. But often these items end up as litter or in landfill, the materials used to create them are non-renewable and sourcing them impacts the environment.

We focus on three common materials – glass, aluminium and plastic – and look at how they are created, the environmental impacts of their production and disposal, and the benefits of recycling them.

These resources support the WA Curriculum: Science, HASS and Design and Technologies and the cross-curriculum priority of Sustainability.
