2026 CREA8 SUSTAINABILITY COMPETITION · PRIMARY LEVEL

TOO GOOD TO TOSS

Some things are simply too good to be thrown away. Through Too Good to Toss, primary school students took a fresh look at common discarded items with curious and inventive eyes, transforming everyday waste into creations that are new, useful and inspiring. Their entries show that with a little imagination, the things we throw away can become something truly worth keeping.

🏆 CHAMPION

Teo Wei Ning Topaz

Frontier Primary School

Upcycled Light Tree

Topaz turned an empty instant noodle jar into the base of a glowing tree lamp. Twinkling lights sit in little upcycled shades along winding branches, while the jar below is filled with colourful beads and doubles as a handy holder for pens and pencils. It is a lovely example of a creation that is both beautiful and useful.

Dharini created a working wall clock with a hand-painted Earth at its centre, surrounded by colourful number discs and rays made from wooden sticks. It is a striking reminder that time is running out to care for our planet, made from materials that might otherwise have been thrown away.
