Work with your students to develop an understanding of consumption patterns and their impacts through HASS and Technology lessons and access to 36 exclusive interviews featuring global experts and businesses.
Electronic devices play important roles in many of our lives. As consumers, users and, sometimes, disposers of these products, it's important for young people to understand that the positive impacts of these products is coming at significant cost to our environment.
It's also important for young people to have hope that, together, we can address the e-waste crisis. In fact, many governments, businesses and individuals are already innovating to help address the problem.


These resources are compiled into a user-friendly Vimeo showcase, designed to integrate seamlessly with lessons and aid teachers in their planning, learning, and projects, providing a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.
The content places hope and optimism at the forefront, highlighting the positive actions undertaken by governments, businesses, organisations, and individuals rather than merely focusing on the negative aspects of the issues at hand.
This Closing the E-Loop unit has been developed in partnership with Comsol, a manufacturer, importer and distributor of electronics, who use a step-by-step approach to sustainability to establish a sustainable, environmental and socially supporting ecosystem for technology products and services.
A key pillar of Comsol’s overarching framework is education. They believe that knowledge-sharing about the electronic waste crisis, sustainability and closed-loop solutions for electronic products provide opportunities for society to speed up the transition to a circular economy.
