Backpacks are one of the hardest things to recycle because they are usually made from a combination of different materials.

In this film, Dragons’ Den entrepreneur Steven Bartlett sets pupils the challenge of upcycling a backpack to get them thinking about how they can breathe new life into existing belongings, rather than throwing them away. This challenges ties in with the UN Sustainable Development Goal number 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

This short film is from the series Planet Create.
