Wheelie Bin

⚙️ Learning Concepts: Sustainability, Responsibility, Earth’s Resources

Bring sustainability and environmental awareness into your classroom with a buildable, laser-cut Wheelie Bin model.
Made from natural, high-quality plywood and assembling without glue or chemicals, the kit is safe, durable, and ideal for repeated classroom use.

Students construct a functional wheelie bin while exploring how waste is managed, how materials can be reused or recycled, and why caring for the environment matters. This hands-on model encourages responsible decision-making and practical understanding of sustainability concepts.
